How it works on your site

The DokaXbot Lift is a wheeled, remote-controlled robot that lifts and positions DokaXdek slab formwork panels from ground level to working heights up to 5.7 m using a three-step semi-automated workflow. It covers one subtask within the concrete job category: formwork installation, including slab-edge placement with safety railings fitted. The robot is available as a rental product following its reengineered debut at bauma 2025; a prototype first appeared at bauma 2022 at 5.2 m working height.

Formwork Installation and Stripping

The operator pre-positions the robot and panel from ground level using a remote control, the robot automatically adjusts height and fine-positions the panel using onboard sensors, and the operator then manually guides the panel into its final position in the support heads. The robot handles slab-edge placement with safety railings fitted, covering perimeter forming work. The crew still handles support head setup, panel loading, and all work outside the DokaXdek system.
