In high-rise building construction, safety and efficiency are always the top concerns for both owners and contractors. Self-climbing platforms, as core equipment in modern high-rise building construction, are being adopted by more and more engineering projects due to their intelligence, reliability, and high efficiency. This article will focus on GETO's self-climbing platform, providing a detailed analysis of its working principle, component structure, application advantages, and typical application scenarios.
Overview of Self-Climbing Platform
A self-climbing platform is a type of scaffold that is erected at a certain height and attached to the structure. It relies on its built-in elevating equipment to ascend or descend layer by layer along the building structure. It features anti-overturning and anti-falling devices. Geto possess a national inspection report for a 22.5-meter high-rise climbing scaffold, suitable for ultra-high-rise buildings with standard layer heights up to 5.3 meters.
Working Principle of the Self-Climbing Platform
GETO Self-Climbing Formwork Platform Components
1. Hydraulic/Lifting System
The lifting system of the self-climbing platform consists of guide rails, lifting hangers, lower hangers, electric chain hoists, and upper hangers. The platform ascends or descends along the building structure layer by layer, achieving synchronized construction and formwork advancement.
Principle: Fixed to the building structure by hangers, the platform uses a hydraulic or electric drive system for lifting and lowering, eliminating the need for additional lifting equipment.
Advantages: Stable construction, convenient operation, suitable for ultra-high-rise buildings with a standard floor height of 5.3 meters.
2. Frame System
The frame system is the main load-bearing structure of the self-climbing platform, providing operating space and safety protection for construction personnel.
Components: Walkways, vertical posts, safety nets, trusses, turntables, etc.
Function: Supports construction operations, ensures the safety of construction personnel, and provides storage space for construction materials.
3. attached lifting support System
The attached lifting support system is directly fixed to the building structure, bearing and transferring loads, and also providing anti-fall and anti-overturning functions. It is a key component for the safe and reliable operation of the entire platform.
4. Control System
The platform is equipped with a complete intelligent control system, including computers, mobile devices, remote controls, sensors, and load detection devices.
Function: Real-time monitoring of platform load to ensure construction safety, while supporting remote operation and fault monitoring.
5. Lightning Protection System
Components: Air Terminal down conductor, grounding grid, grounding wire
Function: Ensures the safety of personnel and equipment during high-rise building construction.

Key Considerations When Using Self-Climbing Platform
When selecting and using a self-climbing platform, several key factors need special attention to ensure construction safety and efficiency:
Building Structure Compatibility
The platform must be firmly connected to the building structure to ensure stability during lifting and lowering. Different floor heights and spans require matching the appropriate self-climbing formwork system specifications.
Load and Personnel Number Control
The platform has a maximum design load. Before construction, the total weight of construction personnel and materials must be calculated to avoid overloading.
Use the supporting load monitoring system to monitor the platform load in real time to ensure construction safety.
Operator Qualifications and Training
The lifting system and intelligent control operations must be performed by professional personnel. It is recommended that the construction team organize training to familiarize themselves with the operation procedures and emergency handling plans of the self-climbing formwork platform.
Environmental and Construction Conditions
Environmental factors such as wind, rainfall, and extreme temperatures can affect the safety of the platform, and construction specifications must be strictly followed. Before platform installation and lifting, the integrity of the auxiliary support system, safety nets, and lifting devices must be checked.
Regular Inspection and Maintenance
Regular inspections and maintenance of the lifting system, frame structure, auxiliary supports, and safety devices are required. When using GETO's self-climbing platform, it is recommended to follow the manufacturer's maintenance manual to ensure long-term reliable use.
Selecting and using a Self-Climbing Platform requires not only attention to the platform's performance but also consideration of building conditions, construction personnel capabilities, and daily maintenance. The scientific and safe use of self-climbing platforms is essential to leverage their efficiency, intelligence, and safety advantages.
