Hunan Wuxin Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer dedicated to the research, design, and production of advanced construction equipment and intelligent formwork systems. Among its core bridge construction solutions, the Wuxin Cantilever Form Traveller (CFT) stands out as a high-performance system designed for balanced cantilever bridge construction.
With a focus on safety, precision, and efficiency, Wuxin’s CFTs have been widely used in major bridge projects across China.

1. Product Overview

The Wuxin Cantilever Form Traveller is a specialized movable formwork system used for the cast-in-situ segmental construction of prestressed concrete box girders in balanced cantilever bridges.
It supports the casting of segments in a step-by-step manner from the pier towards the mid-span, enabling continuous construction without the need for full scaffolding or falsework beneath the structure.

Wuxin’s CFTs are designed to provide high load-bearing capacity, structural rigidity, and operational flexibility, ensuring safety and precision throughout the construction process.

2. Structural Features

• High Strength and Stability:
  The main frame is made from high-strength steel with optimized structural geometry to ensure excellent stability under heavy loads and complex working conditions.

• Precise Alignment System:
  Equipped with adjustable mechanical or hydraulic alignment devices, ensuring accurate positioning of each segment and consistent girder geometry.

• Modular Design:
  The modular components allow convenient assembly, disassembly, and transportation, reducing setup time and improving site efficiency.

• Flexible Operation:
  The CFT can be easily moved forward after each segment is cast and post-tensioned, enabling smooth and continuous cantilever advancement.

• Safety Assurance:
  Integrated safety walkways, working platforms, and protective railings ensure operator safety during high-altitude construction operations.

3. Technical Advantages

• High Efficiency:
  The design allows for fast cycle times and reduced downtime between segment castings, improving productivity.

• Adaptability:
  Available in multiple configurations to suit single-cell, double-cell, or variable cross-section box girders, and adaptable for both straight and curved bridges.

• Precision Engineering:
  Advanced 3D modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) are used in design to ensure structural accuracy and mechanical reliability.

• Easy Maintenance:
  The robust, corrosion-resistant materials ensure long service life with minimal maintenance requirements.

• Customized Solutions:
  Wuxin engineers design tailored CFT systems based on bridge span, segment weight, and construction method to meet specific project requirements.
