1 MANTO formwork
MANTO formwork from Hünnebeck is rugged, ready-to-use frame panel formwork for
all fields of concrete construction. All MANTO panels have sturdy 14cm thick steel
frame profiles that are hot dip galvanized on the inside and outside. The maximum
fresh concrete pressure permitted is 80kN/m².
The design of the MANTO panels permits the use of the panels in vertical or horizontal
orientation. Extension panels and other accessories further extend the scope of use
and assure safe and economical shuttering and concrete works. The “lever edge” in
the lower edge profiles allows alignment of the erected panels using a crowbar. Interior
H-ribs as well as V-ribs (only MANTOG3/G3M) oer several dierent ways to attach
accessories and support the form sheet.
The various connectors available can be used to ensure that all vertical, horizontal and
extended panel joints fit tightly together and the panels are aligned perfectly without
any mismatch. This also allows large-area panels to be repositioned without having
to install any additional stiening walers. Many connectors can be operated with the
MANTO Ratchet or with a hammer. Using the MANTO Ratchet reduces fatigue when
working from ground level (for single-storey formwork).
The permissible fresh concrete pressure for MANTO Giant Panels240, Inner Cor-
ners120 and 270, and Hinged Corners 120 and 270 built until1991 is 60kN/m² (Refer to
page217).
1.1 Intended use
MANTO formwork and the corresponding system components are used to wet-pour
concrete structures of various geometries, e.g. walls or columns. Only the components
shown in this manual may be used to connect the panels to one another. The permitted
concrete pressure may not be exceeded.
Hünnebeck products are intended to be used only by competent personnel and only
for commercial purposes.
1.2 General information
This user guide contains important information regarding the assembly and use of
MANTO as well as safety procedures that are important for safe erection and use on
site. This user guide is intended to support eective working processes with MANTO.
It is essential to carefully read this user guide before erecting and using the MANTO
formwork system. Keep the user guide nearby and save it for future reference.

1.3 General safety information
Important information regarding the intended and safe use of MANTO formwork
• Risk assessment
The contractor is responsible for the preparation, documentation, implementation and
revision of a risk assessment for each construction site. His employees are obliged to
implement the resulting measures in accordance with all legal requirements.
• Assembly instructions
The contractor is responsible for compiling written assembly instructions. The user
guide is a fundamental aspect of the assembly instructions.
• User guide
Formwork is a type of equipment intended only for commercial applications. The
equipment may be used only by properly trained personnel under the authority of
qualified supervisors.
The user guide is an integral component of the formwork construction. It contains
safety notes, information on the standard configuration, the intended use and a
description of the system. The functional instructions (standard configuration) con-
tained in the user guide are to be complied with as stated. Enhancements, deviations
or changes represent a potential risk and therefore require separate verification (with
the help of a risk assessment) or a set of assembly instructions which comply with
the relevant laws, standards and safety regulations. The same applies in cases where
formwork/falsework components are provided on site.
• Accessibility of the user guide
The contractor has to ensure that site personnel are familiar with the user guide and
that it is readily accessible at all times.
• Illustrations
Some of the illustrations in the user guide show incomplete assembly and do not
necessarily show all aspects relevant to safety.
Safety devices may not always appear in the illustrations, but they are nevertheless
mandatory.
• Material check
Formwork material deliveries are to be checked on arrival at the construction site /
destination as well as before each use to ensure that they are in serviceable condi-
tion and function correctly. Modifications to the formwork materials are not permitted.
The formwork material may not be used if it is damaged or defective.
• Spare parts and repairs
Only original parts may be used as spare parts. Repairs may be performed only by
the manufacturer or authorised facilities.
• Use of other products
Combining formwork components from dierent manufacturers poses certain risks.
Examine such components individually for suitability; they may require a separate
user guide.
