RCS MAX Rail Climbing System

The RCS MAX Rail Climbing System is the further development of the proven Rail Climbing System and stands out, among other things, on account of the fact that all of the platforms can climb simultaneously, thus improving the level of safety and productivity on the construction site. The two new modules, the RCS MAX Hydraulic Unit and the RCS MAX Drive Rails, are fully compatible with the RCS Rail Climbing System and ensure an accelerated construction process. Synchronous climbing of all platforms as well as the load transfer via the lower climbing section shortens the climbing cycles and, consequently, the construction time of projects. The intuitive plug-and-play configuration and lightweight components make the system easy to assemble and operate. The hoses and cylinders are placed in predefined positions once – no repositioning is necessary, ­meaning that sources of error are reduced. In addition, clever features such as the dead man’s switch and an emergency stop switch on each platform ensure an innovative safety concept.

The new RCS MAX components at a glance

RCS MAX Hydraulic Unit
The RCS MAX Hydraulic Unit scores with its intuitive plug-and-play configuration and numerous intelligent features. Thanks to decentralised hydraulic units, the system stops automatically in the event of overload or collision. A dead man’s switch with multiple remote controls as well as an emergency stop switch on each platform round off the innovative safety concept. Wireless control is also possible, providing operators with even more freedom of movement.

RCS MAX Display
The display, which is connected to the unit by way of a cable, allows compete monitoring of the climbing process.

RCS C MAX and RCS CL MAX Drive Rails
The RCS MAX Drive Rails C and CL ensure that the platforms can be moved safely in 750-mm-increments. The cylinder is firmly connected to the system and climbs with it. Cumbersome conversions are now a thing of the past. A major plus point: the RCS CL MAX no longer requires an extension. The slope connector with integrated spindle makes it easier to reach the top climbing shoe and ensures flexible adaptation of the system to inclines.
