MAINI Decking System
With the maini decking drophead system, striking can be carried out after only one day (depending on the slab thickness and strength of the concrete). The drophead is released with a hammer blow which causes the formwork to drop 60 mm (panels and main beams).
Product Overview
With the MAINI decking drophead system, striking can be carried out after only one day (depending on the slab thickness and strength of the concrete). The drophead is released with a hammer blow which causes the formwork to drop 60 mm (panels and main beams). The panels can be separated easily from the concrete and immediately used for the next cycle. Furthermore, on-site material requirements are reduced. The MAINI main beam reduces the number of props needed – only one prop is required per slab area of 3.45 m² for thicknesses up to 40 cm. This saves time and simplifies the transportation of formwork materials across the site.
maini decking panels as well as main beams are equipped with self-draining edges. The edges of the panels are undercut which ensures cleaning is kept to a minimum and thus shorter shuttering times.
The maini decking systemguarantees a straight support line at the end of the formwork. With system parts, these infill areas can be quickly formed with system components.
Systematic assembly and a high degree of safety for standard bays as well as the slab edge is achieved using decking platforms. The MAINI Decking System 375 mm main beam provides a cantilever of approx. 1.30 m. The approved decking MAINI Decking System platform together with a foldable handrail frame is safely positioned by means of the MSH shuttering aid. The decking platform has a safe working load of 150 kg/m².
Design
MAINI Software is a special in-house designed software which provides a 3D platform for working. MAINI software is the perfect solutions for fast, professional planning of MAINI formwork & scaffolding systems.
From a simple basement to a complicated industrial building, from wall & slab formwork to platform systems & scaffolding – the most diverse problems are solved with MAINI software.
MAINI programs are continually adjusted to suit the product development & are also used by MAINI sales and design engineers. This ensures that the systems and their guidelines are always up-to date.
Precise item lists ensure that costs arise only for material volumes you actually need. Formwork material is scheduled correctly for the project and is deployed and operated at full capacity as far as possible.
Complicated areas are recognized and already dealt with in the planning phase. The construction site is supplied with the material it actually needs and this optimizes logistical expenditure. Simple planslead to notable time savings. Each component, without detour, joins directly to the right position.
Benefits
Early striking
The decking is equipped with a drophead. Early striking is possible after only one day (depending on the slab thickness and concrete strength). On-site material requirements can be reduced as the beams and panels are then available for the next concreting cycle. Work can be arranged more flexibly – for instance, by striking early during periods of poor weather.
Lightweight components
decking system components are made of aluminum. No component weighs more than 15 kg. Thanks to the low individual weights, decking system enables easy and tireless erection and striking.
Easy to clean
maini decking systemminimises cleaning costs: the main beam complete with plastic rack lies protected under the panels – cleaning the girder side is not required. Parts have self-draining edges and are powder-coated.
Fewer slab props
maini decking system main beam reduces the number of props. Only 0.29 props per square metre of slab is required. Fewer props save time and leave more space during forming as well as for the transportation of formwork materials.
Do not have to determine primary and secondary beam spacing | Do not have to take account of load capacity of the forming.
