The basic idea of sliding molds is the molding of great areas of concrete surface, with an area of reduced mold, used especially where there is a predominance in vertical dimension, of constant section or of continuous variation, such as water towers, silos, chimneys, pillars (starting from 1,0 x 1,0m), towers for antennas, dams, walls, wells, stairs, etc.
They are metallic molds with 1 meter of height, properly set for joining in ascension equipment, denominated hydraulic jacks.
