Advancing the formwork application

Operating traditional rotating lasers often requires skilled labor, and detecting laser lines in bright outdoor conditions is a challenge. On top of that, accidental drops can lead to costly repairs and downtime. Hilti’s rotating laser solution is designed to eliminate these issues with a user-friendly, one-button interface that make leveling, squaring, and slope grading a straightforward one-person operation—even in sunlight with its receiver. Built to withstand tough jobsite conditions, Hilti’s lasers are durable and drop-resistant, helping you maintain accuracy without the worry of damage. Simplify your layout tasks with a tool that’s as tough and smart as your team.

The construction industry continues to face persistent challenges at jobsites, particularly during column casting. Traditional column starters often lead to inconsistent concrete grades, poor workmanship, and structural issues like honeycombing. These problems not only compromise the strength of the structure but also delay progress, as the starter concrete requires up to 36 hours to set before formwork alignment can begin.

The Hilti X-FS Formstop offers a smart, efficient solution. This alignment element allows immediate formwork setup, enabling faster concrete pouring and ensuring a monolithic structure with consistent strength. It eliminates the need for small concrete batches, reduces reliance on RMC, and saves a full day per slab—translating to significant time and cost savings.

For temporary fixings, consider using the HUS4, which can be reused multiple times. For fast and efficient installations, use our TE 6-22 cordless rotary hammers with TE-CX drill bits to drill the hole followed by using the SIW 6-22 to fasten the HUS4 anchor.
