A typical flat slab/capital design shows clearly the requirement of only
two types of tableform to be used for typical bay.
Tableform using steel primaries and steel secondaries.

Horizontal Formwork
Steel packers are used in tableform for difference in thickness between flat slab and
capital to reduce convention timber box-out.
Using standard components such as heavy duty frames, prop frames, steel primary
and secondary bearers virtually assures just about any height and size configuration
required and on a limited number of re-uses assures the contractor of the most cost
efficient system.

Transfering of tableform
Lower the table slightly to break the bond
of the concrete by turning the prop collar
downward( approx. 50mm).
Push transporter into position and set until
it supports the tableform.
Once transporter carries the tableform
weight, release the prop inner by taking out
the prop pins and pusing the prop inner into
the frame.
Transporter
Transport Wheel (Trolley)
STAGE - 1
The transporter can then be removed
once the tableform rests on the
transporter wheel (trolleys).
STAGE - 3

Insert 4 numbers of transport wheel (or 6
when required) underneath the main
corner of tableform bottom prop inner.
Lower the transporter which supports the
tableform slowly.
STAGE - 2
Once the tableform rests on the
transport wheel, the tableform can be
pushed into the loading platform.
STAGE - 4
