Enerpac’s jack-up system represents a custom developed multipoint lifting system. A typical system setup includes four jack-up towers positioned under each corner of a load. The four tower setup has a lifting capacity of 2,000t. The lifting frame of each jack up tower contains four hydraulic cylinders in each corner, which lifts and stacks steel boxes measuring 1m in height. A load is lifted in increments as boxes are inserted via an automated system, lifted, and stacked, forming ‘lifting towers’.
"Using strand jacks for a bridge demolition project, the barge-mounted Enerpac jack-up system will be a safer synchronised lift of the bridge off its foundations," said David James, project manager at Burkhalter.
