Heavy Lifting & Sliding

  • Synchronised vertical lifting
  • Sliding of steel trusses

Synchronised Vertical Lifting

Main components of UTRACON’s lifting system:

  • Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
  • Strand lifting unit with power packs
  • Electrical winches

During lifting operation, it is crucial to have in place various control mechanisms:

  • Synchronise lifting of multiple jacks with PLC
  • Control of swaying with wind meter / Emergency rigging
  • Protection to equipment from voltage surge with installation of surge control
  • Communications with Talkie

Sliding of Steel trusses / PC components An efficient sliding system is usually dependent upon the weight and distance of the items to be moved. It is generally made up of the following:

  • Hydraulic jacks / Pulling or pushing mechanism
  • Roller / Bronze plate on steel tracks

Controls have to be in place to ensure that the items moved remain stable all the time:

  • Pressure reading of hydraulic system
  • Flatness and straightness of sliding track
  • Monitoring of distance travelled by individual roller
  • Communications via talkie
