STOCKHOLM WATERFRONT C/CENTRE
Company: Lift Turn Move Location: Stockholm, Sweden
Stockholm, the capital of the North and home to the Vasa Museum has recently opened a brand new multi functional venue - the eye catching new Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre situated in the heart of the city. The Convention Centre stands out for its multi-functional capabilities; it can easily be transformed from a 3,000-capacity arena into a series of smaller sections, which allow hosting of intimate meetings for as few as 12 people. This versatility is made possible by the innovative and multifunctional hoist lifting system sup- plied by German Based COW Lifting Technology, a subsidiary of UK based Lift Turn Move Ltd. Very high safety requirements were required because loads would be moving above people, so the decision was made to opt for the stringent German Safety Standard, BGV C1. COW has been offering advanced specification motion control systems for the last five years. Developed in house, the company COW spe- cialises in these applications where load monitoring, variable speed and accurate programming are essen- tial. These BGV C1 C-Force systems are from the same product line of hoists as the LoadGuard hoist as supplied by LTM, Cow’s parent company, for projects at the Liverpool Echo Arena, the O2 Arena in Berlin, and the ISS Dome in Dusseldorf amongst many others. The Stockholm system required a total of 39 BGV C1 hoists with lifting capacities from 500 to 1000kg along with a 48-channel C Force control PC show control system. The system incorporates extra safety features including load sensing, double brakes and four position limit switches and a 10:1 safety factor, this allows extensive hoist movement with precise positioning. The computer display also shows individual hoist positions, groups positions and exact loads on each hoist in the system. COW provided the Force Controlshow control technology and cables including commissioning on site to offer a complete solution to the Stockholm Waterfront Convention Centre. Klaus Weber commented: “We at COW Lifting Technology are proud to have been able to provide our customer with the ideal solution for this venue. The demand of real multi-functional use of the Congress Centre Stockholm Waterfront did 100% fit to our philosophy of custom designed solutions, based on in- novative ideas and the brilliant technology the C-Force brand offers. Besides that this project was a major step into the Scandinavian installation market.”
