New builds and renovations. Greenfield sites, and congested inner-city locations – at 22.6 kg per main panel (0.75 x 1.50 m), the robust DokaXlight formwork is cost-saving and easy to use for CIP concrete structures of any type or size. One person can safely handle this formwork with no crane lifts required, so work proceeds faster and resources are used more productively. The maximum concrete pressures are 50 kN/m2 for wall formwork and 75 kN/m² for column formwork, making this handset system great for high pouring rates.

DokaXlight. With robust Xlife sheet.
The Xlife sheet has a special structure with high-strength plywood core and innovative glass-fibre reinforced plastic face layer. The extremely high resistance to scratching and vibrator damage ensures good concrete surfaces over a long service life.
Considerable cost savings
concrete surfaces are consistently good even after many use cycles, so less finishing work
lifespan is longer than average, so fewer costly sheet changes
fewer repairs, because no splintering around nail-holes
easy, fast intermediate and final cleaning, also using highpressure washers
Polypropylene face layer, glass-fibre reinforced
Plywood core, 5-ply make-up, force-oriented plies
Special sheet structure, 9 mm thick with highstrength plywood core and innovative, glass-fibre reinforced plastic face layer

Frami clamp
The standard connector is the Frami clamp, which can be secured anywhere on the frame. Any height offset between adjacent panels is possible.
DokaXlight I Connector
Optionally, DokaXlight panels can be fitted with I-Connectors. This alternative makes progress even faster, because no time is wasted searching and fetching. Panel-topanel height mismatches up to 2.5 cm are possible.

“Our people really enjoy working with DokaXlight because it is so light and easy to handle. On big sites we use it in places beyond the reach of the crane. We also use it for renovation work and on small jobs, because that’s where ease of transportation is important. By loading it on to Frami pallets we can even shift the gear from A to B quickly on small trucks.”

“DokaXlight is an investment in the future. The job might be a basement, a garage or a complete family home, DokaXlight always gives me the flexibility I need. Even when I have to cast a single-sided wall, I just take DokaXlight and combine it with the lightweight Doka Alu supporting construction frame.”
Alexander Knop, Managing Director KnopBau GmbH
“I reckon that the lightweight DokaXlight is the ideal addition to our super-fast Framax Xlife plus. We use it all the time, for example when we need to erect formwork above a shaft, or make a stop-end for a floor slab.”
Peter Karg, Managing Director Bauunternehmung Peter Karg GmbH
“Whenever we need to form up concrete members for outdoor facilities or construct side formwork for drop beams, DokaXlight is always the go-to solution and I really appreciate its light weight and ease of handling.”

Lightweight, standard connector
Self-aligning, crane-handleable connections between the panels
Can be set up with one hand
The slot all round the frame profile allows the inter-panel connection to be made anywhere. Any height offset between adjacent panels is possible.
Simple inter-panel connection with DokaXlight I-Connector
The shaped holes in the frame profile enable inter-panel connections to be made with the I-Connector.
Connector is integrated into the panel - fewer loose parts.
No protruding components - risk of injury is minimised and there are fewer obstructions for clamp-on parts (universal walings, brackets, etc.).
Small gang-forms can remain assembled, stacked for short-term storage.
Operation with hammer, or with a spanner to minimise noise
Here’s how it works: Position the next DokaXlight panel, push clamping bolt through the opening in the second DokaXlight panel and turn the bolt 90°.
Tighten up Star-grip nut 15.0 by hand and then use 27 mm spanner to tighten firmly

Foundation formwork
DokaXlight panels can also be used as foundation formwork. Great whenever the same panels will also be used for the wall formwork. Foundations are formed quickly with DokaXlight panels turned on their side or upright. Inter-panel connection, length closures and corners are just as easy as for ordinary walls. A range of practical accessories makes this work easier.
