MK TRUSS
A truss structure, bi- or multi-supported, supports the formwork and absorbs the loads acting on the formwork.
The formwork systems commonly used with the MK Truss Structure are Enkoform VMK or Enkoform H-120.
The typical truss form of the structure is achieved with equilateral triangles consisting of Walers MK and Nodes MK
assembled in the same plane. These structures are braced to each other with joints and tubes. Depending on the
required load-bearing capacity of the truss, the main axis can be reinforced with push-pull props and tubes.
The Waler MK range allows assembling trusses of different load-bearing capacities. The most optimum load-
bearing capacity-weight ratio is the one given by a distance of 3 m between nodes axes and 2.6 m between waler
axes.
