What our clients think
Civil contractor James Carruthers talks about using HDPE formwork from Plastic Formwork Hire on his sites.
Lightweight HDPE formwork that two people can lift, a ute can carry and a hose can clean. Made in Queensland.
Our HDPE manhole and stormwater pit formwork holds its shape through the pour, just like steel. The difference is everything around the pour: two people lift it, a ute carries it and concrete washes off with a hose. No excavator pulled off another job, no truck haulage, no grinding or blasting. Hire rates are comparable to steel.
Manhole inners and outers, high lifts, neck rings, pourboards and gully pit extras.
One trial per company per site, valid for bookings placed within twelve months. Based on an inner form up to 1500mm and its corresponding outer.
