  • Patent number: 4087220
    Abstract: An apparatus for the sequential production of concrete sections of a superstructure spanning a plurality of piers comprises a main girder positioned above a respective one of the piers and advanceable from pier to pier. A concrete form is carried by the girder for producing portions of each superstructure section, the concrete forms being movable along the girder. The main girder is supported on previously completed portions of the superstructure and can be advanced thereon by means of an auxiliary support in the center of the girder, two main supports positionable rearwardly of the auxiliary support and a third main support positionable forwardly of the auxiliary support. The main supports are in thrust and stress force bearing connection with the main girder and the main supports are movable along the girder in the longitudinal direction. The main supports may be retracted and lowered for vertically moving the main girder together with the concrete form carried thereby and any concrete therein.
