Moving ICFs on the job site

While it takes four people to move these bundles around, you have to think about some other numbers. They are moving 128 square feet of wall surface area. This is equivalent to more than 143 cinderblocks, which in turn would weigh about 4170 pounds. How many people would it take to carry those? A forklift. The ARXX Steel forms these workers are carrying weigh just 128 pounds...total.


Four people can maneuver in tight spaces or varied grading more easily than heavy machinery.

Arranging the material in this way would be quite a challenge on this job site with a forklift. And, because each block weighs just 8 lbs, the job site can be a safer place for workers as they navigate the terrain and scaffolding with these lightweight materials.
