Wedge Plate (For Drop Head System) | Manufacturer India
Wedge Plate is a critical locking component used in drop head formwork and slab shuttering systems. AMCO Exports manufactures high-strength drop forged wedge plates designed for secure locking, accurate alignment, and repeated site use in concrete construction projects.
As a result, slab formwork becomes safer, more stable, and easier to dismantle during early striking. AMCO Exports manufactures wedge plates with consistent dimensions and high strength material, making them suitable for
heavy RCC slab work in construction and infrastructure projects across India.
What is a Drop Head Wedge Plate?
A Drop Head Wedge Plate is a wedge-shaped plate inserted into the drop head assembly to lock the connection
between components. During slab shuttering, it ensures secure fitting and proper load transfer. Later, during dismantling,
the drop head mechanism allows early removal of slab panels while maintaining safety support.
Therefore, this wedge plate directly contributes to fast shuttering, safer formwork handling, and efficient slab casting.
Where and Why It Is Used
The Drop Head Wedge Plate is used in:
- Drop head slab formwork systems
- Early striking shuttering systems
- Commercial building slab casting
- RCC slabs, beam-slab formwork support
- High-rise construction and infrastructure projects
Because slab formwork requires stability during wet concrete pressure, wedge plates ensure strong locking performance and alignment.
