Fast-Form ™ the benefitsECONOMY: Faster than traditional timber forms or panel systems.

With no forms to make-up, just bolt down a Fast-Form™ bracket with a single self-tapping concrete bolt, 3/4" steel stake or even wood screws! Plumb it up and screw on your plywood or with our aluminum wall system just lift our lightweight panels into place and prop. NO CRANES OR MACHINES NEEDED: Save Thousands of $'s on Equipment & Labor Costs.

Need handrails or access platforms? They are easily attached.

Our system will save you days or weeks on your pour and probably thousands of $'s in costs.

SAFETY: When lumber forms and kickers are used, where are the structural calculations? How does the risk assessment cover there being no handrail or access? The simple answer is lumber does not offer these and in real terms it is an unsafe method of working in most applications.

Fast-Form™ helps you meet manual handling regulations as our brackets weigh from just 2 lbs with nothing weighing more than 44 lbs.

Do you have an excellent safety record that you want to keep? Then use Fast-Form™.

ENVIRONMENTAL: There is generally a lot of lumber wastage with whalers, strongbacks and kickers. Fast-Form™ can not only reduce lumber usage, but with new plastic ply systems it can totally eliminate lumber usage with fully recyclable materials that are much stronger and safer than wood products. There is not an endless supply of trees and lumber, use of these natural resources needs to be reduced.

Fast-Form™ is lightweight with no mechanical lifting required, reduced transportation costs and your Carbon Footprint is also dramatically reduced. IT IS ALSO SUSTAINABLE.

The Carbon savings are between 60%-100% against traditional plywood and lumber formwork. Savings of up to 5 to 7 lbs of Carbon use for every SqFt of formwork cast can be achieved, see our website for more details on our Carbon Savings and Independent Carbon study.

KEY BENEFITS:• SAFETY: Access & handrails, no crane required in most applications, a lightweight system that

can be lifted by hand.

• SPEED: No make up, lightweight and easy to use system, much faster than other methods.

• COST: Less expensive than plywood & lumber with reduced labor and equipment costs, and little material waste.

• ENVIROMENTAL: Little or no lumber wastage and 100% fully recyclable materials, greatly reduced Carbon emissions from not only our system but also reduced emissions from deliveries.

• NO KICKERS NEEDED FOR WALLS & FEWER TIE BARS: meaning less materials, less work, less holes and less concrete finishing or water retaining structures & smooth face finishes

• CUSTOM FORMWORK: As a designer and manufacturer we can provide a solution for almost anything, please see our Bespoke page for more details.

Fast-Form ™ Curb Form Overview:

Our unique curb form is unlike any other form on the market and we offer rental & sales, the Fast Form curb form is most flexible & versatile form available.

Our forms can also work with the Fast-Form bracket system to give the most stable curb form on the market, one that can be pinned with standard steel stakes, or fixed down with Fast-Form brackets attached, they can also be fixed to decking with wood screws or to concrete blinding or slabs with re-usable, self tapping concrete bolts so what ever your ground conditions our forms can be fitted safely and securely.

No more battered, old, bent, rusty forms, choose the galvanized Fast-Form curb form and get much more than just a curb form, get a curb form that can be turned into a slab edge formwork system and can be fixed to any type of ground or base, one that is lighter, stronger and more flexible, the best curb form on the market.

Fast Forms curb forms are galvanized steel (we offer plain steel versions for sale as well), they are stronger than any other curb form, they are more flexible than any other road form because they can be joined on top of each other for larger pour heights and they join with bolts so no more loose connections.

They can also have ply fitted to the face, so if you wanted a fair face finish to a slab you can turn your curb form into a fair faced form for a slab edge, ideal for high rise slabs fixed to decking .

Our curb forms are available for rental or sale, if you buy our forms and need a few extra for a job just rent a few extra forms from us, or keep your costs low and just rent our curb forms for all your jobs.

• Fast Form Curb Forms come in 8' lengths the same as standard ply sheets and they can have ply fitted to the face for fair face work and this can also extend height by up to 4''.

• Unique infill system also copes with any length so you don’t have to fly past your pour.

Fast-Form Wall Systems

Fast-Form is the only large wall formwork system that can truly be erected by hand, with no part weighing more than 44 lbs. No crane or machine costs for lifting!

Our aluminum version can be simply lifted into place manually and another panel fixed to them. This is especially good for repetitive use and gives the only truly manageable panel system. A 4' x 8' panel weighing around 70 lbs complete! Two men can easily pick it up and move it meaning vastly reduced labor costs and as with the standard steel system they can be joined for larger pour heights.

This means we are the system of choice for many basements where a wall formwork system is required but where a crane or mechanical lifting can not be used. System can also be moved like a large panel formwork system if required.

The system also comes with optional full access and handrail system for safe working.

The system is especially suitable for basements under existing properties as you can fit all of our system through a small window and erect it underneath. This is the reason we are the market leader in basement formwork systems.

Another benefit is the sizes we offer, unlike panel systems all our uprights can be mixed and matched so if you have a sloping wall you can start with one size of upright mix and match, even mixing or wall with our bracket system.

Our uprights come in 2'-8'' / 6'-3'' / 7'-11'' & 10'-6'' BUT all can be joined so we can also supply up to 21' high.

The system can also pour radius walls using the same components, simply omit the joining braces between uprights, generally faced with ply the system can also be faced with Alkus plastic ply for a truly GREEN solution..

The system can be erected and ply fitted after which means it is also very good when using water bars and need to make sure that the pour is very clean before you pour as you could fit the ply just before pouring.

Comes with drawings, fitting instructions and structural calculations included.

Main Benefits over Panel systems:

• Unlike an ordinary panel system the ply fits to the front of our system meaning there are hardly any jointsat all, perfect for fair faced work.

• Unique slot systems ensures tie bars will always match up.

• Lighter than an ordinary panel system no component weighs more than 44 lbs and NO Crane required andwith the lightweight Aluminum version starting at just 8 lbs per piece!

• More flexible on size than an ordinary panel system and you can also pour radius walls with the SAMEsystem.

• Unlike ordinary panel systems there are not hundreds on components to lose & be charged for!

• No Crane costs / Lower Transport costs / Lower Carbon Footprint / Lower labor costs / Less make upcosts / Faster stripping, the list goes on...
