  • The FPT System page is currently under construction, but here's some information to give you an initial understanding of how the "System" works and how it eliminates steps that consume your time and profits.  We have video footage on CD
    available that shows our tools in action.  Send us an email if you would like us to send you a copy. 

    While simply initiating the use of our tools will save you time and money, using the "FPT System" will further increase your time and money savings.  Here's an example on how you can eliminate one of the three major steps that you would normally take to strip a 12' high wall made with 1-1/8" forms- 

    Let's say that you stacked and staggered 4' and 8' forms for this wall.  Normally your planking is set up on both sides of the wall on the upper 8' forms a few feet below the top of the wall.   You'd have one man on the opposite side of the wall hammering and prying to break the forms free, while the guy on the other side of the wall is also prying and hammering to help remove the forms.  They work their way down the wall removing the 4' forms from in between the 8' forms.  Once these forms have been removed, you would then normally drop your planking down a few feet and make another pass so you can start to loosen the upper 8' panels.  Here's where the FPT System saves you time, increases production and puts more money in your pocket- First of all, you don't need the guy on the opposite side of the wall because Form Puller I will make it easy for one guy to remove the forms by himself, and second of all, because of the reach of our Form Puller I, you no longer need to make a second pass along the wall on the planking.  Here's why- You have a crew member take the planking and brackets down as soon as the 4' forms that were in between the planking brackets have been removed .  Then, while one crew member continues to remove the remaining 4' panels, you can have another crew member start to remove the 4' panels that are resting on the footing.  Once they're removed, you'll have 8' panels still attached to the wall four feet above the footing.  Now take the Form Puller I and loosen the bottom of the 8' forms while standing on the footing.  Once they are loose enough to get a hold of, put down the tool, grab a hold of the panel, break it free and lower it down to the footing.  You just eliminated the step of having to set up the brackets and planking a second time in order to start working on the upper 8' panels.  That eliminates 1/3 of the steps needed to strip the wall once the latches are released and the ties are snapped.  But, if you consider the fact that the crew member who would normally be moving the planking for the second pass can now be removing the lower 4' panels while the other crew member is finishing removal of the upper 4' panels, you have significantly decreased the amount of time it takes to strip the wall.  All while eliminating the abuse that your forms are normally subject to during the stripping process.  It's easy to see how you can significantly decrease your stripping time and increase the life of your forms!  This system of removing forms works with most other types of forms as well.

    A recap of the benefits of using our tools and the FPT System-
  • The forms are removed MUCH FASTER when our tools are used.
  • Typical steps are eliminated when our tools and system are used.
  • Your forms stay in better condition for a significantly longer period of time.
  • You can reduce the number of crew members needed for stripping, so you'll have more manpower for other tasks.
  • You've made the stripping process SAFER- spend more time on the ground while stripping, and less time on planking or walking on top of walls.
    Another important point-
  • The tools pay for themselves very quickly!

Free Demonstration!  Go to our "Distributors" page to find a distributor near you who can provide you with a free, no obligation demonstration of our tools.  If there isn't a distributor near you, call or email us with the name and phone number of your form or material supplier and we'll arrange a demonstration for you through them.

Safety Warning- We recommend that you wear safety glasses, gloves and a hard hat while using our tools.
