one cup down

The permissible load per vertical, when using forkheads or

headplates, are shown on the following pages with separate
graphs for top lifts and base lifts. This information applies
for jacks unbraced. The strength of the jack is automatically
allowed for by reading off against the appropriate value of
extension and horizontal load.

Values are given for the case of the horizontal in the first
cup from the top or bottom of the vertical and for the
horizontal in the second cup. The horizontal in the first cup
is to be preferred. The permissible loads per vertical are
shown on pages to .

The tables below show the permissible loads per vertical for
all main lifts. The values apply regardless of the type of
formwork to be supported and where the maximum length
of bay does not exceed 2.7m.
