SUPPORT HEAD HAVING A LOWERABLE SUPPORT HEIGHT FOR A FORMWORK SUPPORT
20230383556 · 2023-11-30 · ·

A support head for attachment to a formwork support for creating the formwork for a floor using a large number of floor formwork elements which each have a form surface. The support head has two support portions suitable for supporting at least one pair of adjacent floor formwork elements of the large number of floor formwork elements. The support head has an adjustment device for moving a first support portion into an arrangement in which the floor formwork element which can be mounted on the first support portion can be mounted thereon on at least one subjacent mounting point which is at a lower mounting height than a formwork mounting height. The mounting point of the second support portion remains at the formwork mounting height.
