BETONBLOCK® CONCRETE SLAB MOLDS: A SOLID FOUNDATION
Concrete slabs have been the most commonly used solution for temporary or
permanent paving for years. Concrete slabs are a great way to quickly and
efficiently cover large areas, because the large dimensions of the slabs mean
that only a few go a long way. Concrete slabs are especially suited to heavy
traffic areas, making them ideal for industry, agriculture and livestock
farms.
Easy to move and remove
Speed and efficiency: the main reasons for opting for concrete slabs over
bricks and tiles. Due to their large dimensions, slabs are easier to lay and
less likely to subside, producing a more level site. Concrete slabs are easy
to move and remove, making them particularly useful in combination with work
on pipes, cables or other types of earthworks. Betonblock® carries various
types of lifting equipment, handling equipment and accessories in its range to
transport and move these large slabs.
What are the advantages of Betonblock® concrete slab moulds?
All Betonblock® moulds are made of high-quality steel will continue to
deliver for at least ten years and never warp, not even after years of daily
use. The pre-assembled, steel cross beams reinforce the mould when pouring the
concrete, so the resulting slabs fit seamlessly together to form a solid
foundation.
What are the dimensions of your slab moulds?
Betonblock® slab moulds come different sizes. All moulds have a default
length of 200 m, and come in widths of: 100, 150, 200 and 300 cm. The slab
moulds have a height (thickness) of: 14, 16 and 20 cm. We have something for
everyone, regardless of your project or intended application, including
outdoor paving, warehouse paving and parking spaces.
What accessories do you have for concrete slabs?
Betonblock® has a wide range of handling, lifting and tilting accessories for
transporting, laying, placing and tilting the concrete slabs. To move slabs
with a lifting chain, simply attach the chain to the cast-in insert. Concrete
slabs are poured upside down, and with the Betonblock® lift & turn-tilt
mechanisms, you can get the neater, potentially more level side to face up.
You can also use these mechanisms to transport the concrete slabs.
Betonblock® vacuum slab lifter
With the vacuum slab lifter, Betonblock® has a brand-new way to move and lay
concrete slabs. This mobile lifter is powered by a Hatz diesel engine, so no
other power supply is needed. The slab lifter can be operated via remote
control (with a two-button control safety system). The vacuum slab lifter has
a rated capacity of 1700 kg and features a powerful suction cup, so the slab
does not have to be perfectly clean and level. The slab lifter comes with a
lifting eye, but the lifting beam is sold separately.
In addition to concrete block moulds, Betonblock® also sells the following
moulds:

Mit den Betonplattenformen von Betonblock® können robuste Betonplatten für
unterschiedliche Anwendungen hergestellt werden. Die Stahlformen sind in
verschiedenen Abmessungen und Plattenstärken erhältlich und eignen sich
unter anderem für Industrieflächen, landwirtschaftliche Betriebe, Hallen und
Parkplätze. Nachfolgend beantworten wir die häufigsten Fragen zu
Betonplattenformen und den damit hergestellten Betonplatten.
Welche Größen von Betonplattenformen sind erhältlich?
Betonblock® bietet Betonplattenformen in verschiedenen Abmessungen und
Plattenstärken an. Das Sortiment umfasst Formen in 200x100x16 cm, 200x150x16
cm, 200x200x14 cm, 200x200x16 cm und 300x200x20 cm. Welche Größe geeignet
ist, hängt von der geplanten Anwendung, der gewünschten Plattengröße und der
späteren Belastung der Betonplatte ab.
Für welche Anwendungen eignen sich Betonplatten aus diesen Formen?
Betonplatten werden für temporäre und dauerhafte Straßen- und
Bodenbefestigungen eingesetzt. Aufgrund ihrer großen Oberfläche können mit
relativ wenigen Platten schnell große Flächen befestigt werden. Sie eignen
sich unter anderem für Industrie- und Landwirtschaftsflächen,
Viehzuchtbetriebe, Hallen und Parkplätze. Betonplatten werden außerdem
häufig auf Flächen eingesetzt, die von Schwerverkehr oder schweren
landwirtschaftlichen Maschinen befahren werden.
Muss ich bei der Herstellung von Betonplatten eine Bewehrung
verwenden?
Betonplatten sollten mit einer geeigneten Bewehrung hergestellt werden.
Welche Bewehrung erforderlich ist, hängt unter anderem von den Abmessungen
und der Dicke der Platte, der Betonzusammensetzung, dem Untergrund und der
späteren Belastung ab. Die erforderliche Bewehrung sollte deshalb anhand der
konstruktiven Anforderungen des jeweiligen Projekts bestimmt werden.
Welche Vorteile bieten Betonplattenformen von Betonblock®?
Die Betonplattenformen von Betonblock® bestehen aus hochwertigem Stahl und
sind für eine Lebensdauer von mindestens zehn Jahren ausgelegt. Laut
Betonblock® bleiben die Formen auch bei jahrelangem täglichem Einsatz
formstabil. Vormontierte Stahlquerträger sorgen beim Betonieren für
zusätzliche Verstärkung der Form. Dadurch können Betonplatten mit
gleichmäßigen Abmessungen hergestellt werden, die sauber aneinander
anschließen.
Wie kann ich eine hergestellte Betonplatte bewegen und verlegen?
Betonblock® bietet verschiedene Hebe-, Transport- und Wendevorrichtungen
zum Bewegen und Verlegen von Betonplatten an. Eine Hebekette kann
beispielsweise mit einem Profil verbunden werden, das beim Betonieren in die
Platte eingegossen wird. Die Betonplatten werden kopfüber gegossen und
können anschließend mit den Lift & Turn-Wendemechanismen gedreht werden,
sodass die saubere und gegebenenfalls glattere Seite nach oben zeigt.
Welches Hebemittel geeignet ist, hängt von der jeweiligen Platte und der
gewählten Handhabungsmethode ab.
Warum Betonplatten anstelle von Pflastersteinen oder Fliesen
verwenden?
Durch ihre großen Abmessungen ermöglichen Betonplatten eine schnelle
Befestigung großer Flächen mit relativ wenigen Elementen. Im Vergleich zu
kleinformatigen Pflastersteinen oder Fliesen ist die Verarbeitung dadurch
schneller. Betonblock® nennt außerdem weniger Setzungen und geringere
Höhenunterschiede als Vorteile. Die Platten können zudem entfernt und erneut
verlegt werden, was beispielsweise bei späteren Arbeiten an Kabeln oder
Leitungen praktisch ist.
Frequently asked questions about concrete slab moulds
Betonblock® concrete slab moulds can be used to produce robust concrete slabs for a wide range of applications. The steel moulds are available in different dimensions and slab thicknesses and are suitable for applications such as industrial sites, agricultural areas, sheds and car parks. Below, we answer the most frequently asked questions about concrete slab moulds and the slabs produced with them.
Which sizes of concrete slab moulds are available?
Betonblock® offers concrete slab moulds in several dimensions and slab thicknesses. The range includes moulds measuring 200x100x16 cm, 200x150x16 cm, 200x200x14 cm, 200x200x16 cm and 300x200x20 cm. The most suitable size depends on the intended application, the required slab dimensions and the loads to which the finished concrete slab will be subjected.
What applications are concrete slabs made with these moulds suitable for?
Concrete slabs can be used for temporary and permanent road and ground surfacing. Their large surface area makes it possible to cover substantial areas quickly with relatively few slabs. Typical applications include industrial sites, agricultural areas, livestock farms, sheds and car parks. Concrete slabs are also commonly used on sites where heavy traffic or agricultural machinery operates.
Do I need reinforcement when producing concrete slabs?
Concrete slabs should be produced with suitable reinforcement. The required reinforcement depends on factors such as the dimensions and thickness of the slab, the concrete composition, the supporting ground and the loads expected in the final application. The appropriate reinforcement should therefore be determined according to the structural requirements of the specific project.
What are the advantages of Betonblock® concrete slab moulds?
Betonblock® concrete slab moulds are made from high-quality steel and are designed for a service life of at least ten years. According to Betonblock®, the moulds retain their shape even after years of daily use. Pre-assembled steel crossbars provide additional reinforcement to the mould during casting. This helps produce concrete slabs with consistent dimensions that fit neatly together.
How can I move and install a finished concrete slab?
Betonblock® offers various lifting, handling and turning solutions for transporting, positioning and installing concrete slabs. A lifting chain can, for example, be connected to a profile that is cast into the concrete slab during production. The slabs are cast upside down and can subsequently be turned using Betonblock® Lift & Turn mechanisms, bringing the neat and potentially smoother side to the top. The appropriate lifting method depends on the slab and the selected handling procedure.
Why use concrete slabs instead of paving stones or tiles?
Because of their large dimensions, concrete slabs make it possible to cover large areas quickly with relatively few individual elements. This generally makes installation faster than paving with smaller stones or tiles. Betonblock® also highlights reduced settlement and fewer differences in surface height as advantages. Concrete slabs can also be removed and repositioned, which is useful when access is later required for underground cables, pipes or other groundworks.
