Innovation in hydraulic lifting tools is continuously expanding their capabilities, introducing features like remote operation, data connectivity, and enhanced energy efficiency. We offer advanced solutions such as radio remote-controlled synchronous lifting systems and electric-hydraulic power packs. In the installation of offshore wind farm foundations, a system of synchronized hydraulic jacks is used on the installation vessel to grip and upend the massive monopile from a horizontal to a vertical position before it is lowered into the sea. The synchronization is critical to prevent bending moments that could damage the pile. For the precise positioning of telescope mirrors in observatories, custom-built hydraulic lifts with vibration-damping characteristics are used. Any vibration during alignment could compromise the mirror's ultra-fine surface figure. In automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS), hydraulic lifts are used to present entire racks of goods to an automated picking station at an ergonomic height. The integration of these tools with factory automation systems (PLC control) is a key trend. Our R&D efforts, evidenced by our numerous invention patents, are focused on pushing these boundaries.
