Hydraulic Lifting Tools for Industrial Applications | Hydrarite

The advancement of hydraulic lifting technology continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in heavy lifting, emphasizing control, synchronization, and safety. Sophisticated systems like strand jacks and climbing jacks are at the forefront. In the construction of telecommunication towers or large chimneys, the "jump-form" technique utilizes climbing jacks. These jacks grip on to a permanent rod or a temporary structure and lift the entire formwork and working platform for the next concrete pour, enabling rapid vertical construction. For the lifting of entire bridge decks during a replacement project, strand jacks are the preferred method. These jacks grip on to high-strength steel strands, offering extremely long stroke lengths and the ability to lift loads of several thousand tons over great heights with pinpoint accuracy. In industrial plant turnaround projects, a fleet of various hydraulic jacks and pulling systems is deployed to perform multiple lifting tasks simultaneously, from reactor vessel head removal to heat exchanger bundle extraction, drastically reducing maintenance shutdown durations. The operational efficacy of these systems is heavily dependent on the quality of the hydraulic power unit, which must deliver clean, pulse-free hydraulic fluid at a constant pressure.
