3Instructions for Assembly and Use – Standard Configuration
The working platform can be supple-
mented with:
– clamping unit, strongback and adjust-
able braces for accommodating the
VARIO and TRIO formwork systems.
– a height-adjustable finishing platform
complete with access ladder which is
attached to posts.
– end-to-end guardrails on the working
and finishing platforms in accordance
with EN 12811.
– a tension anchor which prevents tip-
ping inwards.
Technical Data:
– width of bracket: 1.60 m
– static height: 1.80 m
– max. formwork height: 5.40 m
General
The CB 160 climbing formwork is normally
used as shoring in order to support an-
chored wall formwork in accordance
with EN 12812.The formwork is firmly
connected with the scaffolding and is
moved as a single unit suspended on a
crane.
The system can also be used as work-
ing scaffold only.
The working platform for operating the
formwork consists of planking, platform
beams and two fixed climbing brackets.
These transfer the loads deriving from
the dead weight, live loads and prevail-
ing wind loads via the anchorage and
bottom pressure point into the structure.

Introduction
Standard Configuration
Intended Use
1. PERI products have been designed
for use in the industrial and commercial
sectors only by suitably trained personnel.
2. These instructions for assembly and
use serve as basis for the project-related
risk assessment and the instructions
for the provision and use of the system
by the contractor (user). However, they
don’t replace them.
3. Only PERI original components may
be used. The use of other products and
spare parts represents a misapplication
with associated safety risks.
4. The components are to be inspected
before each use to ensure that they are
in perfect condition and that they fun-
tion correctly.
5. Changes to PERI components are
not permitted and represent a misappli-
cation with associated safety risks.
6. Safety instructions and permissible
loads must be observed at all times.
7. Components provided by the contractor
must conform with the characteristics
required in these instructions for
assembly and use as well as with all valid
construction guidelines and standards.
In particular, the following applies if
nothing else is specified:
– Timber components: Strength Class
C24 for Solid Wood EN 338.
– Scaffold tubes: galvanised steel tubing
with minimum dimensions
Ø 48.3 x 3.2 mm according to
EN 12811-1:2003 4.2.1.2.
– Scaffold tube couplings according to
EN 74.
8. Deviations from the standard config-
uration may only be carried out after a
separate risk assessment has been
completed by the contractor (user). On
this basis, appropriate measures for the
working safety and stability are to be
implemented.

4Instructions for Assembly and Use – Standard Configuration
CB 160 Climbing Formwork
Introduction
Safety Instructions
General
1. Deviations from the standard configu-
ration and/or intended use present a
potential safety risk.
2. All country-specific laws, standards
and other safety regulations are to be
taken into account whenever our prod-
ucts are used.
3. During unfavourable weather condi-
tions, suitable precautions and meas-
ures are to be taken in order to ensure
both working safety and stability.
4. The contractor (user) must ensure
the stability throughout all phases of
construction. He must ensure and veri-
fy that all loads occuring are safely
transferred.
5. The contractor (user) has to provide
safe working areas for site personnel
which can be safely accessed. Areas of
risk must be cordoned off and clearly
marked. Hatches and openings on
accessible working areas must be kept
closed during working operations.
6. For better comprehensibility, detailed
drawings are partly incomplete. The
safety installations which have possibly
not been featured in these detailed
drawings must nevertheless be available.
Storage and Transportation
1. Do not drop the components.
2. Store and transport components en-
suring that no unintentional change in
their position is possible. Detach lifting
gear from the lowered units only if they
are in a stable position and no uninten-
tional change is possible.
3. When moving the components, make
sure they are lifted and set down in a
way that any unintentional tilting over,
falling apart, sliding or rolling away is
prevented.
4. Use only suitable load-carrying equip-
ment to move the components as well
as the designated load-bearing points.
5. During the lifting and moving proce-
dure, ensure that all loose parts are re-
moved or secured.
6. During the moving procedure always
use a guide rope.
7. Move components on clean, flat and
sufficiently load-bearing surfaces only.
System-specific
1. Retract components only when the
concrete has sufficiently hardened and
the person in charge has given the ap-
proval for striking to take place.
2. Anchoring is to take place only if the
anchorage has sufficient concrete
strength.
3. It is the responsibility of the contrac-
tor (user) to inspect all anchors and as-
sociated components.
4. Enclosure of the platform or mount-
ing of additional surfaces which are ex-
posed to the influences of the wind
changes the stability and must there-
fore be checked. If necessary, addition-
al measures must be implemented.
5. The platforms are to be inspected for
signs of damage by authorised person-
nel at regular intervals. Dirt which af-
fects the functionality is to be removed
immediately.
6. As a result of the moving procedure,
falling edges are formed between the
platforms. Corresponding areas are to
be secured.
7. Site personnel, construction materi-
als or tools may not be transported
while the scaffold unit is being moved
with the crane. Exceptions to this can
be determined through the operational
working and instructions for assembly
and use.
The assemblies shown in these PERI
Instructions for Assembly and Use are
only examples which feature only one
component size. They are valid for all
component sizes contained in the
standard configuration.

from C1 platform deckings.
– For girders positioned above, dimen-
sion x of the planning is to be used.
The decking can be pre-assembled
with girders placed in position and
then fixed.
– For operating the securing bolts (1.5)
from above, a spacing of x ≥ 23 cm is
required.
– Decking made of other materials
must be sized to the same dimen-
