MANUT SERVICES INSTALLS MONORAIL
AND VERLINDE VHR 2 MANUAL CHAIN HOIST FOR DELPHARM
a Verlinde articulated jib crane for lifting motors to one of its clients. Manut Services, based in the
A
Yonne, Nièvre and Loiret regions, France, specializes in the installation, modernization, maintenance and repair of lifting equipment. Founded in 2000, the company now has 15 employees and two stores in Orléans and Auxerre selling lifting accessories. It is a member of the Verlinde SAV network. One of the company’s customers, Delpharm, a pharmaceutical manufacturing laboratory, had difficulty extracting their pump motors for maintenance. For maintenance purposes, the pump
motors need to be dismantled and transported to a workshop. The work area is narrow, and the ceiling of part of the facility is located on a mezzanine restricted by a concrete beam. The manufacturer thought it would be impossible to install lifting equipment in this area, but wanted to ensure added safety in the way that the dismantled motors were handled. Heavy parts were lifted using a rented crane, then transported using a pallet truck. The conditions were impractical and unergonomic for the maintenance technicians. To find a safe solution, in such a
constrained space, Manut Services, which had already installed Verlinde chain hoists

customer belonging to Manut Services, which specializes in lifting and handling equipment and accessories, has delivered
and a Verlinde outdoor gantry crane in the laboratory, proposed a customized solution. A Verlinde Templier articulated jib crane
was installed against a wall. It can handle loads from 50 to 350 kg with ease and takes up very little space in an almost circular area. Two articulated arms, each two meters
long, are used to rotate around the concrete beam and lower the dismantled motors down to level 0. These are then transported to the maintenance workshop using a pallet truck. The jib crane is equipped with a Verlinde VHR chain hoist, an attractive and compact model. Once the motors have been serviced in the workshop, they are brought back to the workshop using a pallet truck, and then reassembled using the jib crane. For the same application, in a second building, after the structure was validated by a study carried out by an independent design consultancy, Manut Services installed a monorail above the tanks, equipped with a standard Verlinde VHR 2 manual chain hoist for 250 kg loads. The dismantled motors of the pumps
fitted to the tanks are then transported outside the structure via the monorail and then moved by pallet truck to the maintenance workshop. Maintenance of the installations is now
safe, and the technicians can handle the loads ergonomically. Delpharm expressed their satisfaction with the quality of the Verlinde equipment, and the expert advice it received from Manut Services.
