Slide Cam Lock
Slide cam lock assembly features a heavy duty channel welded to the face of the slide between the driving "ears" to eliminate bending or breaking. Guides allow ample clearance to prevent binding, yet align securely. Stake Pocket with 3/8-inch thick giant wedge Stake pockets butt firmly under rail and are welded to face, lower rail edge, and base to give maximum support. Extra heavy 3/8" giant wedges keep forms anchored in line without drifting. Heavy Duty Braces BMF engineers have also designed a structural reinforcing system adaptable to all paving forms at a modest additional cost. This system of heavy 1/4" braces nearly doubles the strength of any form keeping weight at a minimum and is particularly recommended when side dump trucks are to be used. |

O-K Wide Base Curb Back Form
The curb back form is designed with a wide reinforced base, to serve as a track for a powered vibratory screed. The curb face form is quickly set and rigidly supported on the curb back form by just two skeleton (false division) plates. Of course, the tracks can also be used for a manually operated, street-width screed with a considerable reduction in finishing time. However, when you use a powered screed, you'll get savings in both labor and materials - and a stronger street. With power screeding, you can get accurate strike-off and compaction at high rates with lower slump concrete. The operation goes like this: with the 0-K forms in place, the ready-mix truck backs in between the forms, and the operator swings the chute to spread the concrete for the street slab and fill the curbs too |
|
The vibratory finishing screed is then moved into place on the Wide-Based Forms to strike-off and compact the street slab in one operation at rates of 6000 square feet per hour. (Curbs are finished later after stripping the curb face for m.) Why not go modern on street and curb work - and make money! BMF sales engineers will be glad to give you advise and guidance on this method
