HANDSET FORMING SYSTEM


HAND-E-FORM ®
 HANDSET FORMING SYSTEM
EFCO’s handset solution is HAND-E-FORM®. The EFCO HAND-E-FORM system is the most
versatile handset forming system on the market today. Used in over 25 countries all over
the world, cost-conscious contractors are quickly realizing the benefits of this forming
system and its best value and lowest in-place concrete cost features. The real cost of
forming concrete is the cost of the forms plus the cost of using.

The EFCO HAND-E-FORM system is low cost, easy to use, and supplied for general-purpose
concrete construction. This means the system is ideal for:

• straight walls • walls with brick seat offsets


• round tanks • tunnels
• foundations • culverts
• cut up areas • columns
• abutments • and many, many more

The only limitation to the EFCO HAND-E-FORM system is the imaginations of the architect,
engineer, and the contractor.

The simple mechanics of the HAND-E-FORM system enables construction crews to quickly
learn how to assemble and cycle the equipment. HAND-E-FORM panels are lightweight and
conveniently sized. Even the largest panel can be set and stripped with one crew member.

Special emphasis should be placed on having a good formwork crew. Pre-planning the

The rigidity of the E-Z DECK® system allows it to be assembled at a staging area and then
moved into position for the first pour, unlike conventional shoring systems which must
be built in place.
