BAUMA PREVIEW
These flexible solutions can be moved in and out of sites and – importantly – are classified as intrinsically safe , meaning they can be used in the Australian market .
Capacities of Enerpac ’ s JS-Series Jack-Up range from the JS-125 ’ s 125 ton capacity to the JS- 750 , s 750 ton capacity , with each solution offering lifting heights from 6 m to 20 m , respectively
In addition to the hydraulic gantries and cube jacks , the booth will feature a JS-250 Jack-Up , and multi-point lifting EVO system used to maintain mining shovels .
SBL600 Hydraulic Gantry The SBL600 Super Boom Lift hydraulic gantry is a three-stage telescopic hydraulic cylinder with rectangular boom for increased capacity and first stage lifting capacity of 674 tons ( 611 t ) and 416 tons at the third stage . The SBL600 fits in nicely between the SBL500 and SBL900 gantries , offering a lifting height of 10.6 m , compared with 8.6 m and 11.3 m , respectively .
Jeremy Stubbs , Commercial Director , Enerpac Heavy Lifting Technology , said : “ Ease of transportation is another key benefit of the new gantry . A foldable boom allows for shipping on standard flatbed trucks without special permitting and routing . In addition , with the selfweight less than 9,100 kg , the SBL600 allows for transport of two legs on a single road truck trailer .”
Enerpac Power Riser Lifting Jack The Enerpac Power Riser Lifting Jack is a selflocking jack that performs automatic locking during lifting , lowering and holding . Available with 54-ton , 90-ton , 136-ton and 181-ton capacities with either pneumatic or electric pumps , the Power Riser Lifter is supplied with 3.5 m pendant cord for air-driven units with pneumatic valves and 6 m pendant cord for electric-driven units , keeping operators away from the load . It is a readily-portable unit with
102 mm ground clearance for transport over rough terrain . A three-position handle , meanwhile , provides easy tilt back and transport , the company says .
Synchronised lifting Accurate synchronised heavy lifting is the hallmark of Enerpac heavy lifting systems , which , the company says , is exemplified by the SCJ-Series Cube Jacks and Enerpac ’ s larger JS-Series Jack-Up .
The Enerpac Cube Jack has set the standard for ease-of-use and productivity for compact , portable lifting solutions , according to the company . It uses a base lifting frame and selfaligning , lightweight steel cribbing blocks – together with automatic incremental locking – to provide high-capacity and stabilised lifting . It is a safer , controlled , more efficient and environmentally friendly alternative to climbing jacks with tropical hardwood cribbing , Enerpac says .
Enerpac JS-Series Jack-Up Systems , meanwhile , are transforming the way many heavy-lift projects are executed , Enerpac says .
The Jack-Up is a synchronised lifting and lowering system with self-contained hydraulics in each unit for uncluttered work areas . Loads are lifted in increments as steel boxes , called “ barrels ”, and are stacked together to form lifting towers to mechanically hold the load . The JS-250 Jack-Up system uses computer controls for seamless synchronous control , raising and lowering all towers at the same time .
Capacities of the JS-Series Jack-Up range from the JS-125 ’ s 125 ton ( 500-ton lift with four towers ) capacity to the JS-750 , 750 ton ( 3,000-ton lift with four towers ) capacity , with each solution offering lifting heights from 6 m to 20 m , respectively .
Heavier lifts Enerpac strand jacks pack tremendous lifting capacity into a small footprint , acting like a linear winch .
This sees steel cables or strands guided through a hydraulic cylinder ; above and below the cylinder are anchor systems with wedges that grip the cables or strands . By stroking the cylinder in and out while the grips are engaged in the anchors , a lifting or lowering movement is achieved . The motion of the cylinders is driven by hydraulic power packs , with the Enerpac SCC software program synchronising the motion of the strand jacks and adjusting the motion to the loads per lifting point .
An Enerpac EVO multipoint synchronised lifting system is used to simultaneously control up to 12 cylinders , creating an accurate and synchronised lift . Operated using a PLC , hydraulic cylinders connected to an EVO Synchronous Lifting Pump enable each lifting point to be monitored and controlled by a single operator . The EVO pump maintains accurate positional control within 1 mm between lagging and leading cylinders and includes built-in warning and stop alarms for optimum safety , the company says .
Enerpac ’ s EVO synchronous lifting system recently came to the rescue of WesTrac in Western Australia , providing an efficient , portable and safe solution to lift its 200 t Cat ® 994K wheel loader .
Bosch Rexroth ’ s myBODAS on trial
Bosch Rexroth says it is opening its mobile electronics software , BODAS , to all manufacturers and partners as part of a move to accelerate the launch of new machines and functions by OEMs .
The company plans to offer manufacturers of off-highway machines free access to the entire standard portfolio of BODAS software for controlling mobile machines , with Bosch Rexroth set to highlight this at the upcoming event in Munich .
Via the digital myBODAS platform , OEMs can download validated software packages for a range of applications , free of charge , to test and adapt them to suit their own requirements .
Proven modules within the platform minimise the time , investment risks and costs involved , with the service only billed via a payment model based on credits if the software is used during series production . The modules are developed in accordance with current standards and already meet functional safety requirements , the company says .
