Formwork system

A formwork system for supporting one or more forming panels to form a generally horizontal concrete surface, said formwork system comprising:

• a plurality of supports each comprising
• a vertically extending post;
• a drop head mounted on the vertically extending post, the drop head comprising opposite arms, each one of the arms for supporting an end of a beam supported by said each support and another one of the supports positioned adjacent to said each support;
• said each arm comprising a socket at a defined distance from said vertically extending post, for receiving a mounting pin on the beam;
• wherein the socket and the mounting pin form a hinged joint connecting the beam to the support and permitting rotation of the mounting pin about a pin axis while retaining the received mounting pin in the socket so that the beam is pivotable about the pin axis both clockwise and counterclockwise to incline or decline when supported by the drop head, wherein the drop head is configured to allow lateral shift of the end of the beam relative to the post in response to pivoting of the beam.
