This manual should be used for assembly and installation of CIFA© concrete delivery tower booms. It is intended
to act as a reference for assembling the tubular column and relative components to use with the concrete delivery
boom.
The tubular column system is modular, thus offering great flexibility and adaptability to many different types of
applications in the field of building construction. The system is compatible with the following CIFA concrete delivery
boom:
• Boom KT28 [ 28 meters/92 feet of horizontal extension ].
• Boom KT32 [ 32 meters/105 feet of horizontal extension ].
The tubular column system includes the following applications:
• Straight clearance up to a maximum 18 meters [59 feet] of composition of the towers fixed to the ground through
tie bolts or counterweights at the base.
• Self-climbing within the structure (on slab or stairwell/elevator shaft), which considers the various heights of the
slabs and with a maximum height of the tower boom that extends above the highest slab.
The end user should read and understand the contents of this manual and become confident with the safety devices
of the equipment before installation or operation. If the user does not understand the procedures and devices for safe
use of the equipment in a standard configuration, or desires to use the equipment in a non-standard configuration,
the user or installer should contact CIFA’s technical office before installing and using the machinery.
This manual is an addition to the USE AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL for the concrete delivery boom mounted on
tower.
For purposes of constant improvement, this manual is periodically updated. CIFA reserves the right to change the
specifications of this manual without notice.

SAFETY
Refer to Section B of the USE AND MAINTENANCE manual for the tower boom, in particular to paragraphs 2.1
- 2.2 - 2.6 - 2.7.
As column installation operations involve the lifting of loads using lifting machinery such as tower cranes or hydraulic
cranes, refer to the provisions on lifting equipment in the use manual.
ATTENTION:
FOR ANY OPERATION INVOLVING THE LIFTING OF EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS, ALWAYS REFER
TO THE “TABLE OF EQUIPMENT COMPOSITION. WEIGHTS AND DIMENSIONS” REFERRED TO IN
SECTION 1 OF THIS MANUAL.
CRANE SAFETY
• Only persons with a relevant Certificate of Competency can operate cranes.
• Only persons with a Certificate of Competency in dogging or rigging can sling and direct loads.
• All cranes should be subject to a daily checklist/logbook completed by the operator.
• Make sure that the set up area has been inspected for potential hazards and that inspection is documentated.
• Make sure that the counterweight slewing area is clear of obstacles and is barricated.
• Make sure that loads do not pass overhead workers.
LIFTING GEAR
• All lifting gear (shackles, slings, wire rope) should be inspected regularly by a qualified and competent person.
The inspection details should be recorded and the item tagged
• Load hooks should be fitted with a safety catch, particularly where there is a chance of the slings being
displaced.
WARNING AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR LIFTING CAPACITIES
• Hydraulic cranes can be hazardous if improperly operated or maintained. Operation and maintenance of this
machine must be in compliance with information in the Operation and Maintenance Manual supplied with the
crane. If this manual is missing, order a raplecement through the distributor.
• The operator and other personnel associated with this machine shall fully acquaint themselves with the latest
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) safety standards for cranes.
• The weight of handling device such as hook blocks, slings, etc., must be considered as part of the load and must
be deducted from the lifting capacities.
• Rated lifting capacities at load radius shall not be exceeded. Do not tip the crane to determine allowable
loads.
• When making lifts at a load radius not shown, use the next longer radius to determine allowable capacity.
DEFINITIONS
• Lod Radius: Horizontal distance from a projection of the axis of rotation to supporting suface before loading to
the center of the vertical hoist line or tackle with load applied.
• Loaded Boom Angle: The angle between the boom base section and the horizontal, after lifting the rated lifting
capacity at the load radius.
• Working Area: Area measured in a circular arc about the centerline of rotation.

This section deals with anchoring the tower boom to the ground. This becomes necessary when it is desired to freely
use the concrete delivery boom within the work yard, and also during the first phase of pouring the first 3-4 slabs
or the stairwell/elevator shaft, to then permit use of the machinery’s self-climbing system. Note that fixing the cross
base to the foundation using anchors ensures the stability of the tower and makes it possible to move the concrete
delivery boom without having to mount the cement counterweight behind the boom.
Refer to design DK01001325 to see the values of the forces exercised on the ground by the tower cross base.
The maximum possible straight height in the column composition is 18 m.
MAX 18 m.
For lower heights in column composition, the same rules for construction of the base foundation used for the maximum
18 m height of the column are applicable.
There are two types of anchoring:

- tie bolt with M33 metric threading;
- tie bolt with 1 ¼” x 8 American standard threading.
INDEX TOWER BOOM

TOWER BOOM KT
TIE BOLT WITH METRIC THREADING M33
TIE BOLT WITH AMERICAN STANDARD THREADING 1 ¼” X 8
INDEX TOWER BOOM

TOWER BOOM KT
The anchors must be positioned in the foundation before pouring the concrete, using a transverse structure as a
template. Check the diagonal distance between the anchors: 2804±4
Ensure that before pouring, the anchors are fixed securely and kept in position to prevent accidental movements
caused by the force of the concrete.
Plan the height of the foundation so that it is not too high compared to the foundation surface.
This is to avoid having to remove the foundation.
For each application a new set of anchors must be used.

Leave the upper plate and the nuts that register the leveling of the poured concrete.
The tie bolt must protrude at least 140 mm from the upper plate.
INDEX TOWER BOOM

TOWER BOOM KT
Install the column cross base on the upper plates of the tie bolts, with the attachment holes corresponding to the
tie bolts. Any tolerances on the spans are offset by holes which are larger than the nominal dimension of the tie
bolts.
The cross base must be perfectly level in the two directions so the tower placing boom can operate properly. Use
the registration nuts under the tie bolt plates, any shims, etc.
Registration nuts
After leveling, the quick setting mortar can be poured around the tie bolt plates for permanent anchoring.

This section discusses:
• connecting the modular sections of the column;

• adequate torque for bolted connections;
• installation of concrete delivery pipe;
• set-up and mounting of platform [ optional ];
• assembly of turret, boom and counterweight support;
• assembly of counterweight;
• assembly of adaptor for installing boom onto work yard crane.
Connecting the modular sections of the column:

To achieve the required height, the modular sections of the column can be connected to each other to achieve a
maximum height of 18 meters. When using the smallest modular section, always be sure it is fixed securely to the
base.
First of all, fix the cross base to the ground as described in section 2 of this manual (if fixing to the ground by tie bolts);
or, place and then level the cross base with adjustable feet (if the column base is not anchored to the ground).
The columns must be lifted into a vertical position, one at a time, using the lifting hooks on the upper surface of each
column.
ATTENTION: THE LIFTING HOOKS OF EACH COLUMN HAVE BEEN DESIGNED TO RESIST SOLELY
AND EXCLUSIVELY THE WEIGHT OF ONE COLUMN.
INDEX TOWER BOOM

TOWER BOOM KT
Be sure to completely clean all attaching surfaces between the column sections. This will ensure a perfect hold of
the connections.
Be sure to align the modular sections of the column so that the climbing lugs face the same side and the 5.5” clamps
for the concrete delivery pipe located on the outside of the column are all on the same side.

Bolt the steps and step supports to the modular sections of the column before connecting them to each other to reach
the desired height. Attach the bodyguard cages, where provided, to the steps by means of pins.
The modular sections of the column must be connected to each other by means of the push-pull screws provided.
Each connection requires 2 M33x560 mm push-pull screws.
Be sure to perfectly center the push-pull screws, leaving approximately the same quantity of threading after each
nut.

Adequate torque for bolted connections:

The push-pull screws must be clean and adequately lubricated. Adequate torque is 2625 Nm. It is important for
the push-pull screws to have the same torque in all connections. All connections must be checked after the first 40
hours of operation and thereafter must be periodically checked.
Installation of concrete delivery pipe:

Using the clamps mounted on the outside of the column, connect the 2.0
m sections of the concrete delivery pipe.
Always be sure that the pipe for the first section of the column, or for
the column preceding the one to be connected, does not extend beyond
the end of the column. This helps avoid damage to the pipe in case of
uncontrolled movements.
The pipe must properly end in the upper part of the tower and thus make
2000 mm
it possible to attach two 90° curved pipes and one straight pipe.
The pipe line must be aligned with the center of the column and face the
side where the column base enters.
Once adequate alignment with the base is ensured, a lever joint can be
mounted at the pipe entry in order to easily unhook the boom and thus be
able to move it during building construction.
Note:
If the column must be mounted to an anchor to the base or rests directly on
the ground, the pipe entry must be sufficiently lifted to permit connection
of the horizontal tubes.
For the “column self-climbing” application to be mounted inside the building during construction, the vertical support
system provides for height registration, thus facilitating the lower connection of the concrete entry pipe.

Set-up and mounting of platform:

The platform consists of a horizontal platform with a square hole in the center and parapets that are securely fastened
to each side, thus creating a catwalk around the column.
The platform must be positioned and bolted to the horizontal supports attached to the last column. Normally, the
platform is directly mounted below the tower to better maneuver the concrete delivery boom.

DISASSEMBLY OF THE ARM AND COLUMN UPON COMPLETION OF WORK
A) SEPARATING THE ARM FROM SEGMENT 1A section (arm with first section broken into two
segments)
1. Release the cable from the second hook-up point on the arm from its anchoring point used during work.
2. The crane hook must descend to the point of separation, where a man will hook up the cable ring of the
second point to the crane hook and hook up the shackle of a second cable, already hanging from the hook, to
the first anchoring point.
3. Now the crane can lift the hook and pull the cables taut.
4. Pull out the quick release coupling from the hydraulic plant. Remove the latch union on the concrete pipe at
the point of separation.
5. The man will unhook the M24 linkages in the lower part of the arm and then remove the 100 mm diameter pin
in the upper part.
6. At this point the arm is free and the crane can gently remove the two segments and lower the arm to the
ground.
INDEX TOWER BOOM

TOWER BOOM KT
B) SEPARATING THE TURRET+SEGMENT 1A SECTION FROM THE COLUMN
1. Hook the TURRET+SEGMENT 1A section to the crane hook,
2. Turn off the electric power from the panel on the side of the turret. Note: see safety rules. Disconnect the latch
union on the concrete pipe at the turret column junction.
3. Separate the turret from the column by removing the four QUICK RELEASE pins. Lift the lugs, place the pins in
their housing and hook up the chain to keep the lugs lifted.
4. At this point, the crane will slowly lift the turret+segment 1A section and then lower the load to the ground.
5. Disconnect the work platform from the relative supports bound to the column. Sling the work platform, gently lift,
removing it from the top of the turret and then transport it to the ground.

C) SEPARATING THE COLUMN SEGMENT L=10 m – LIFTING AND LOWERING TO THE GROUND
FIG. 4
1. Be sure that the lower section of the column is attached to the
intermediate guide roll rack through pins. Its weight will be held
by these pins.
2. Separate the upper section from the lower section. Loosen the
M33 bolts on the stay bolts. Use a hydraulic torque wrench
suitable for a 3500 Nm coupling (the loosened coupling is also
larger than the tightened coupling).
3. Remove the bolts and M33 stay bolts and return them to a box.
Remove the latch union at the joint.
4. On the upper level, remove the wedges from the guide roll rack.
5. Ascend to the top of the column using the ladder (safety harness
always attached to a safe anchoring point by spring hooks).
6. Lower the crane hook and connect two cables with shackle,
hanging from the hook, to the lifting lugs in the upper portion. In
the alternative, use two elastic bands and two lifting pins in the
guidetracks at the top of the column.
7. Begin tensioning the crane. Slowly lift until the column section
L=10 m is about 600 mm away from the slab on the last level.
8. Note: First ensure that there is a minimum underhook height of

about 11.2 m from the slab on the last level.
FIG.4
FIG. 5
1. Bring the column to a free area. Rest a corner of the
base on the slab and tilt the column. Descend with the
crane until the supports of the walkway brush the slab.
Remove the fastening screws and unhook the supports
from the column.
2. Prepare two pieces of wood under the column. Delicately

rest the column horizontally.
3. Unhook the ladder and the concrete pipe from the column
with their relative supports. Replace the disassembled
pieces into special containers that can be hooked by the
crane and lowered to the ground.
4. See if there are other obstacles above the last slab and
determine if the crane has a sufficient underhook height
to get past these obstacles with column L=10 m hanging
vertically. FIG.5
INDEX TOWER BOOM

TOWER BOOM KT
FIG. 6 FIG.6
1. If the crane does not have sufficient underhook height, then
sling the column horizontally using the elastic bands. Lift and
lower to the ground.
D) SEPARATING THE COLUMN SEGMENT L=8 m FROM THE GUIDE ROLL RACK - LIFTING AND
LOWERING TO THE GROUND
1. Be sure that the concrete pipe below the column has already been detached.
2. Go to the intermediate level where the column is attached to the guide roll rack by two pins and you will see the
top of the column.
3. Lower the crane hook and connect the two cables with shackle, hanging from the hook, to the lifting lugs located
on the upper part of the column. In the alternative, use two elastic bands and two lifting pins located in the
guidetracks at the top of the column.
4. Tension the crane. Slowly lift a few centimeters to help remove the guiding wedges from the two upper and
lower frames. The connecting pins (on which the column rested) can be removed or left in position, provided
they are attached with a safety pin (danger of dropping while moving).
5. Slowly lift until column section L=8 m is about 600 mm away from the slab on the last level.
1. Bring the column to a free area. Ensure that the crane has a sufficiently high underhook to get around obstacles
with the column L=8 m hanging vertically.
2. If so, lift to maximum height and then lower the column to the ground. The concrete pipe can be removed when
the column is on the ground.
3. If not, gently rest the column horizontally on the slab. At this point, disconnect the concrete pipe with the relative
supports from the column. Return the disassembled pieces to special containers that can be hooked by the
crane and lowered to the ground.
4. Sling the column horizontally, using the elastic bands. Lift and lower to the ground.

PLACEMENT OF COLUMN INSIDE THE BUILDING - GENERAL INFORMATION:
NOTE: For all assembly configurations for assembling the column inside the building using the equipment
configuration that is supported by the structure of the building itself (slab or stairwell or elevator shaft), approval
of the construction supervisor is required. Standard reactions for sizing the foundations and placement points
provided within the structure to support the tower are provided by CIFA. A surface to support the load must be
approved in advance by the engineer who performed the static calculations of the building structure before
installing the tower.
NOTE: Provisions for installing and dismantling must be considered and checked for adequacy before the
equipment is installed.
In many cases, construction begins before it is necessary to use the column and concrete delivery boom, and it
does not need to be assembled until later. Many slab pourings could be completed before the column needs to
be assembled inside the building, and in this case special openings will be prepared in the slabs for subsequent
installation of the column.
In certain cases, it may be necessary to install the column and concrete delivery boom on a foundation (with the
cross base set into the ground using tie bolts or counterweights) where vertical loads are supported by the foundation
itself, while horizontal loads are held by steel grips inserted between the guide frames (one in the middle and two
at the ends) and the column.

In other cases, the column is installed within the building, where vertical loads are supported by a vertical support
system located on a floor slab or the stairwell or elevator shaft, while horizontal loads are held by steel grips inserted
between the lower and upper guide frames and the column.

VERTICAL SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE COLUMN:

The vertical support system for the column is used to support the weight of the concrete delivery boom and tower
within the building.
This support system was designed to consider the maximum flexibility that should be present in the opening of the
boom and height adjustment of the column. It was designed to be easy to disassemble and just as easy to reposition
on the next slab, and it is small enough to move or transport by hand.
Refer to the “table of equipment composition, weight and size” referred to in section 1 of this manual.
It is comprised of a guide frame (composed of two half-frames bolted together) and 2 pins inserted in the holes of the
climbing lugs of the column and guide frame, which in turn transfer the vertical loads to the slab or stairwell/elevator
shaft.
NOTE: The vertical support system for the column is normally placed in an intermediate position on the structure.
The locking grips do NOT have to be inserted in the guide frame when it needs to support the vertical loads of the
column.

HORIZONTAL SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR THE COLUMN:

The heights of the floors of a building are not always standard, but can vary on many occasions. As the maximum
height of the tower is always constant (MAX 18 meters), one should always consider the different maximum the tower
can reach above the grips inserted in the upper frames, to avoid throwing the tower off balance and thus damage
to equipment, things or people.
When the boom is supported on the tower by a vertical

support system for the column, which distributes vertical
loads to the slab, stairwell or elevator shaft, always keep
the minimum distance of the tower above the upper base
frame and below the lower base frame.
For the minimum distances that should be maintained,

always refer to the assembly drawings that CIFA’s technical
office provides its customers.
The intermediate frame transfers vertical loads to the slab

or stairwell/elevator shaft, while the lower and upper base
frames carry horizontal loads (caused by the boom’s folding
motion onto the tower), to the slab or stairwell/elevator Steel
shaft by inserting steel grips between the column and the grips
base frame.
The greater the distance between the grips inserted into the upper and lower frame of the column, the more effective
this horizontal support system for the column will be.
The standard horizontal support system of the column thus requires installation of a minimum of three base frames
located on the slabs (minimum three slabs), one of which is an intermediate support frame with two end frames (upper
and lower, which transfer horizontal loads by means of 2 steel grips located on each side of the column).

HYDRAULIC LIFTING SYSTEM

A hydraulic device for automatic lifting of the tower and the concrete delivery boom (see Section V of this manual)
can be inserted into the intermediate guide frame and the two end guide frames at any time.
The hydraulic lifting system must be mounted on the saddle of the intermediate guide frame and consists of:
• 2 hydraulic cylinders operated by a distributor lever located on the command panel, or by remote control;
• oil hydraulic pipes;
• lifting saddles;
• closing valve for cylinder descent control;
• Pin with handle and split pin. Lifting saddles

ASSEMBLING THE COLUMN WITHIN THE STAIRWELL/ELEVATOR SHAFT OR SLAB.
Complete assembly of the column and concrete delivery boom, using tie bolts or counterweights on the
cross base for attachment to the base.
To assemble the column, see Section III of this manual.

The column is mounted within the perimeter of the stairwell/elevator shaft or within the floor slab that needs to be
poured.
Pro:
• This configuration is useful if during the design phase the stairwell/elevator shaft is in the center of the building
and if one does not want to use the self-climbing configuration of the column or column support through the
support frame fixed to the stairwell.
Con:
• With this configuration, the maximum height of the column with system of attachment to tie bolts is 18 m, thus
a limited number of building levels
• The stairwell/elevator shaft and slab must be large enough to contain the column and must permit subsequent
disassembly operations.

Assembly of column and concrete delivery boom using self-climbing system (see section 5).
Pro:
• This configuration is useful if the customer wants to use the column with the concrete delivery boom to pour a
large number of building slabs, and thus to reach significant heights in the building.
In any event, this configuration limits the maximum possible height of the column to 18 m.
Con:
• A preliminary feasibility study is necessary, with a determination of the size of the building structure, to support
the additional weight of the column and delivery boom.
It is necessary to consider that:

For the construction of a building with a number of levels (compared to the maximum permitted in case of fixed
installation of the tower - max 18 m), a minimum of 3 slabs must be provided, which may be achieved through:
- Fixed installation (1st phase) of the tower within the perimeter of the stairwell/elevator shaft or planned slab
(configuration with “base counter-frame inserted in the slab) up to a maximum column height of 18 m (see
previous paragraph) with subsequent utilization of the self-climbing system (2nd phase) to raise the column (in
this case it is necessary to prepare a foundation with tie bolts for attachment to the base of the column).
- Or, one can directly use the self-climbing system (2nd phase) starting from a stairwell/elevator shaft or within
the slab by means of “base frames with lifting system,” already poured using other means (in this case, the work
yard must first position and support the tower by means of a lifting mechanism).
ATTENTION: In any event, a minimum of 3 base frames should be provided with supporting cross bars (with
self-climbing system in the stairwell/elevator shaft), along with a minimum of 3 base frames inserted in the
slab (with self-climbing system within the slab). See figures below.

LIFTING CONFIGURATIONS FOR TOWER WITHIN THE BUILDING
• The tower, along with the concrete delivery boom, is lifted by the work yard crane.
• The concrete delivery boom is positioned on multiple towers that are located in a number of points within the
work yard area.
• The tower is lifted through a so-called “SELF-CLIMBING” hydraulic system.
THE TOWER, ALONG WITH THE CONCRETE DELIVERY BOOM, IS LIFTED BY THE WORK YARD CRANE.
When the subsequent slabs must be poured, the boom must be detached from the tower by the work yard crane
and placed on a sufficiently durable surface or the ground. At this point, the tower must be lifted to the next floor by
means of the work yard crane, repositioning the intermediate guide frame for vertical support of the column (through
inserting pivots) and the upper and lower frames supporting the horizontal loads of the tower (see Section III and
Section IV of this manual). Then reposition the boom on the tower.

THE CONCRETE DELIVERY BOOM IS POSITIONED ON MULTIPLE TOWERS THAT ARE LOCATED ON VARIOUS
POINTS WITHIN THE WORK YARD.
The procedure is the same as for a single tower (see Section III and Section IV of this manual), except that in this
case an unlimited number of towers can be located within the work yard, thus making it possible to utilize the concrete
delivery boom, while the other towers are raised in other areas of the work yard for pouring the subsequent slabs.
Thus a single boom is moved from one tower to another during the entire construction of the building.

THE TOWER IS RAISED USING ITS OWN HYDRAULIC SYSTEM, KNOWN AS THE “SELF-CLIMBING”
SYSTEM.
Operating Instructions.
The tower consists of n column elements for a maximum column height when assembled of 18 meters, located on
a cross base that generally makes it possible to pour the first three slabs of the building under construction with an
inter-floor distance of about 3000 - 3300 mm.
To pour subsequent slabs, the tower must be lifted by detaching it from the cross base, thus using the three guide
frames and two hydraulic lifting cylinders located on the intermediate frame for lifting (“self-climbing” system).
While pouring the first three slabs, the S1017109 design counter frames must be sunk into them, ensuring that they
are perfectly centered to the tower axis.
An S1017109 design counter frame is inserted into each subsequent slab to be poured.

ATTENTION:
Remove the tie bolts between the column and the cross base before performing “self-climbing”

ATTENTION:
THE “SELF-CLIMBING” ACTION OF THE COLUMN WILL BE PERFORMED ONLY WHEN THE CONCRETE
DELIVERY BOOM IS COMPLETELY LOCKED INTO VERTICAL POSITION (IN ORDER TO REDUCE
THE FOLDING MOTION) AND WITH NO CONCRETE IN THE PIPE (WHEN THE BOOM HAS NO
COUNTERWEIGHT) OR, THE BOOM MUST BE TILTED UPWARDS TO A MAXIMUM OF 75° (WHEN THE
BOOM HAS A COUNTERWEIGHT). See figures.
ATTENTION:
Disconnect the joint between the concrete pipe attached to the column and the ascending concrete pipe
attached to the lower slabs, before lifting the column.
ATTENTION:
Unlock the grips on the lower and upper frame, but leave them inserted in the grip holder so they can act
as a guide during lifting.
Insert the grips in the intermediate frame (without locking them) so they may act as a guide during lifting.
