Abstract
An upright concrete wall panel form apparatus includes a back panel form to be secured to a base in an upright position, an adjustable support assembly to be secured to the base adjacent the back panel form, and a movable front panel form supported by the adjustable support assembly in an upright position. The movable front panel form is moveable via the adjustable support assembly between a concrete wall panel prep area position and a concrete wall panel forming position. The movable front panel form is aligned with the back panel form in the concrete wall panel forming position so as to define a gap therebetween to receive concrete for forming at least one concrete wall panel in an upright position.

An upright concrete wall panel form apparatus comprising:
- a back panel form to be secured to a base in an upright positon;
- an adjustable support assembly to be secured to the base adjacent said back panel form, and comprising:
- a plurality of spaced apart fixed tracks secured to the base, with each fixed track comprising a pair of spaced apart C-shaped rails having open portions facing each other so as to form a guide channel therebetween, and
- a plurality of spaced apart movable tracks guided by said plurality of spaced apart fixed tracks, with each movable track configured as an I-beam and carrying front and rear rollers coupled to and centered on an underside of the I-beam within the guide channel and in direct contact with the base,
- with each C-shaped rail carrying a plurality of guide rollers in direct contact with an upper surface of a lower portion of the I-beam opposite the underside of I-beam;
- a movable front panel form supported by said adjustable support assembly in an upright position;
- and
- said movable front panel form being moveable via said adjustable support assembly between a concrete wall panel prep area positon and a concrete wall panel forming position, with said movable front panel form being aligned with said back panel form in the concrete wall panel forming position so as to define a gap therebetween to receive concrete for forming at least one concrete wall panel in an upright position.
