Enerpac pioneers strand jack gantry with rotating unit


A new strand jack design, launched by Enerpac, which can handle loads up to 408 tonnes, will improve a contractor’s ability to install new equipment in the power generation sector.

new rotating strand jack gantry, which can lift loads up to 15 m high, addresses one of the main challenges facing logistics companies working in the power generation sector – the installation of new equipment.


Positioning Loads are typically transported on trailers positioned parallel to the power plant, although the equipment needs to be lifted and installed


perpendicular to the trailer. The Enerpac strand jack

nerpac has developed a 450-ton (408-tonne) capacity lift and rotation


SBL1100 gantry. A pair of 200-ton (181-tonne) capacity strand jacks is positioned on each gantry beam. The strand jacks are, in


turn, connected by steel strands to a centrally suspended, custom-made rotation unit and lifting beam.


Rotation The lifting beam allows the load to be rotated by 90 degrees, which Enerpac claims is a unique feature of the gantry. The strand jack gantry and rotation unit are controlled via a wireless control system developed by Intellilift. “The strand jack gantry design combines the strength of strand jack lifting with the flexibility of a hydraulic gantry, and an innovative load rotation capability, to provide a highly capable lifting system for heavy loads,” said Jeroen Naalden, director, Enerpac Integrated Solutions. The Enerpac heavy lift and

rotation gantry is designed so that the entire gantry can be transported in multiple standard containers for ease of deployment at port logistics centres and power plants. It was developed and manufactured at Enerpac’s integrated solutions facility in Hengelo in the Netherlands.


HLPFI Sarens debuts


jacking system Sarens has used its new CS1000 jacking system for the first time to install a 2,000-tonne, 120 m long segment of the new Schierstein Bridge in Germany. According to Sarens, the CS1000 system was


designed to handle very high horizontal loads while addressing operational constraints. Sarens praised the CS1000 system, claiming it


improves safety on projects by removing the need for working at height during jacking, as well as helping stability, as the system can operate unbraced up to 10m. The CS1000 is an additional asset in between the


CS5000 and CS600, which Sarens claims meets a new class of client and market demands.
