product overview The vast majority of the equipment hired and sold by RMD Australia has been designed by the RMD group of companies with the criteria that they should be innovative, safe and highly productive.

Extensive design experience provided by the world-wide resources of the RMD group of companies ensures that designs for both standard and non-standard systems compare favourably with the best systems available in the world.


formwork systems

high productivity soffit system

Airodek is a low-weight, highly productive, simple slab formwork system. It’s suitable for slabs up to a depth of 700mm. Its quick, safe and simple assembly process enables one man to erect up to 40m² in an hour, significantly reducing construction time and labour requirements and thereby your costs.

Airodek’s system of lightweight aluminium panels and minimum number of components means it has 30% less weight and 40% fewer parts than conventional props and timber.

airodek

panel formwork system

Minima is an excellent solution for fast and cost effective forming of concrete walls. With 19 panel sizes available (including 2,700 x 2,400mm), Minima can easily be assembled into most layout combinations and pour heights and because many of the panels are lighter weight than other panel systems, they can be set by hand, providing greater productivity and lower crane costs.

When panels are clamped together using Minima Clamps, up to 25m2 can be lifted by crane thereby increasing the productivity of the system.

minima

curved walls the easy way

Traditional methods of curved wall construction are labour intensive because of all of the time needed to constantly assemble, disassemble and modify the system being used. However, Reflex is a pre-assembled, adjustable panel that is easily and quickly adjusted for the setting of just about all curves efficiently and accurately.

Reflex has a steel frame, enabling it to withstand concrete pressures of up to 60kN/m2, so it can handle most wall loads. Panels are now available with a plastic face, for a better finish and longer life.

reflex


formwork systems

a versatile, modular formwork system

Rapid Ply is a versatile system of modular formwork panels providing a cost-effective solution for concrete walls and slabs. It is suitable for most applications including: foundations; straight and circular walls, columns and soffits.

Its edge is designed using high tensile steel which means it has more rigid frames, which are less prone to damage and reduces the weight by approximately 5kg/m2 compared to other panel systems.

rapid ply

strong but light to handle

Aluminium beams combine the benefits of strength, lightness and ease of handling with consistency, versatility and exceptional durability.

The two aluminium beams in RMD Australia’s product range are:

Albeam

This is a 225mm deep, heavy-duty primary beam for slab support, with a very high bending and concentrated load capacity.

Alform Beam

This 150mm deep beam is designed for wall formwork and slab support applications. Alform Beam has unique inclined twin webs, which, together with the edge stiffening’s, provide great lateral stability and robustness in use.

aluminium beams

the definitive primary beam

The Super Slim Soldier is the definitive formwork primary beam, with its unrivalled strength-to-weight ratio, versatility and range of accessories. Its ten standard lengths, from 90mm to 3600mm provide almost unlimited scope for assembling beams of virtually any length.

When using a plywood form face with secondary beams, Super Slim Soldiers can be used to construct straight, curved, conical or other complex formwork configurations.

super slim soldiers


formwork systems

crane assisted climbing formwork

Rapidclimb is a crane assisted climbing formwork system that provides safe, self-contained working platform levels for economical wall forming.

Rapidclimb’s rack and pinion bracket movement mechanism is operated from a comfortable position to one side of it so that the bracket, with formwork attached, can be safely moved towards or away from the concrete forming area for easy inspection of the concrete and formwork.

rapidclimb

new single sided formwork system

Ultraframe is a new innovative single sided formwork system from RMD Australia, it is much faster to erect than traditional methods. The formwork used can be either panels, such as RMD’s Minima or traditional formwork.

The modular design enables formwork to be moved from one pour location to another without disassembly. Optionally, wheels can be fitted so it can be moved without the need for a crane. Frames are simply attached by pin connections and pour heights of 9.6m can be achieved.

ultraframe

crane assisted or self-climbing formwork system

Ascent is a new self-climbing formwork system from RMD Australia. It is cutting edge equipment which speeds cycle times and reduces labour costs. Ascent is versatile: it is suitable for inclined; stepped; circular or straight surfaces and has all the necessary safety features completely integrated.

Ascent’s major advantage is that it can be hydraulically operated, which makes the forming of tall walls or tanks quicker and easier. Crane time is reduced and work can continue in high wind conditions, avoiding delays.

ascent


shoring systems

latest generation shoring

Alshor Plus is the latest generation aluminium shoring system. Its enhanced on-site productivity provides shorter construction times and thereby reduced labour costs. It is also an extremely safe and versatile system making it an ideal match for just about all shoring requirements.

One of its superior design features is its unique blade and socket connection system, which enables Ledger Frames and other Alshor Plus accessories to be located onto Alshor Plus legs considerably quicker than other shoring systems, so assembly and disassembly takes much less time. Another important capability is its quick load release Jack which significantly reduces disassembly times.

alshor plus

high-duty, adaptable shoring

Rapidshor is a highly productive, modular, steel shoring system developed with an extensive range of accessories. Its robust, galvanised design and ease of assembly have made Rapidshor a popular choice.

It’s a modular system which is quick and easy to erect and accommodates sloping ground and varying slab levels. Its regular patterns of snap-on braces reduce both erection times and safety inspection costs.

rapidshor

ultra heavy-duty shoring

Megashor is an ultra, heavy-duty modular propping system designed for high axial loads of 750kN. Its real strength lies in its versatility. It has been used in heavy lifting towers, support spines for tunnel formwork, bracing for excavations, shoring and trusses. It has particularly been used in the construction of stadiums and bridges.

Its unique axial load capacity and high axial stiffness ensures that Megashor accommodates the rigours of heavy duty projects.

megashor


shoring systems

strong support with fewer parts

Strongshor comprises four main components: frames, spigots, cross braces and head and base jacks. Fewer components result in savings in time, labour, storage, transport and inventory costs.

Its cross braces automatically align and space frames providing a reduction in construction time and Strongshor frames can be lifted as a large section, reducing labour costs on repetitive applications.

strongshor

heavy-duty vertical, horizontal and raking shoring

Slimshor is a heavy-duty support for vertical, horizontal and raking applications. It can be used on a variety of both civil engineering and commercial projects.

The simple addition of standard adjustable jacks to the ends of Super Slim Soldiers with suitable end connections converts the conventional Super Slim into an effective push-pull prop.

slimshor

heavy-duty propping system

Trishore is a vertical shoring system providing the ideal solution for the support of heavy structures.

Trishore has the ability to cater for heavy loads at considerable heights and therefore is an ideal solution for heavy duty shoring of bridge construction, underpinning existing structures, or supporting several suspended floors in high rise structures.

trishore


shoring systems

formwork for bridge cantilevers

Paraslim is a modular formwork system for use in the construction of bridge deck cantilevers. The system allows formwork to be erected and dismantled quickly either piecemeal or in panels.

Sections of Paraslim are easily pre-fabricated on the ground before being crane handled into position.

paraslim

bridge slab system

Webtie is a 30kN capacity soffit formwork suspension system used to form the infill slab between steel girders in composite bridge deck construction.

Webtie enables composite bridge decks to be erected and dismantled at a highly economic rate, without the need for the expense of access systems.

webtie

temporary support made easy

RMD’s props provide a solution for a wide range of temporary support requirements. They have a stepped pin which allows the quick release of the applied load and are also galvanised, which eliminates corrosion, minimises maintenance and extends the life of the product.

props


scaffolding systems

tie systems

versatile, modular scaffolding

Rapidstage is a versatile modular system that can be used for all types of access scaffolding requirements. Components are lightweight and therefore erection and dismantling is accomplished easily by a small crew.

Ledgers and transoms are fixed to the vertical standards using a captive wedge connection, making it quick and easy to connect them. The captive connector also means components aren’t as easily lost.

rapidstage

robust, high quality ties

The RMD Rapid Bar Tie System is a “through” tie system in which the bar passes entirely through the formwork, waler plates, cone and tube assembly, locked in position with the knock-on wing nut threaded on to each end of the tie bar.

The expendable tube not only acts as a spacer ensuring the correct width of wall required, but also allows easy removal of the tie bar after pouring. Only one knock-on wing nut has to be removed to allow quick stripping of the tie assembly.

rapid anchor

The RMD Rapid Anchor allows a cast-in fixing into concrete to connect directly to the Rapid Tie System. It comprises a special nut tapped to suit 15mm Rapid Tie which is encased in plastic. A circular steel washer increases the bearing area in the concrete. This cast-in anchor is designed to transmit axial forces into previously cast work.
