Summary

This invention relates to an improved method of and means for use in erecting concrete structures and refers especially to a method of and means for forming and erecting concrete wall units or slabs in the construction of buildings, walls, fences and the like.

The object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient method of and means for forming and handling constructional units or slabs of cement or concrete whereby walls can be erected economically and expeditiously and when erected will have the same or comparatively the same stability as buildings moulded in situ.

This is accomplished by moulding a slab in a shallow tiltable tray or mould having one or more removable sides whereby the tray with the formed slab may be tilted from horizontal to a vertical position.
