Jack Up System Lifts 1,500-ton Span on Fore River Bridge
No one would call the temporary bridge that was constructed in 2002 over the Fore River between Quincy and Weymouth, Mass., a work of art. The bridge replaced a 1936 Art Deco gem when it could no longer safely carry the 32,000 cars that cross the river each weekday.

Lifting and Rotating Suspended Loads with a Strand Jack Gantry with Rotation Unit
One of the many challenges for logistics companies in the power generation sector is installation of new equipment. Loads are typically transported on trailers positioned parallel to the power plant, however, the equipment needs to be lifted and installed perpendicular to the trailer.

Removal of Decommissioned London Tube Trains with a Hydraulic Gantry
Nine London Underground 1983 model stock trains were decommissioned and abandoned in the South Harrow sidings in 1998 when the 96 model stock trains were introduced. The poor condition of the 83 train cars made it unsafe to haul out onto the network to a depot.

EVO Synchronous Lifting System lifts a 200 tonne wheel loader safely and efficiently despite uneven ground
Lifting heavy machinery such as haul trucks and wheel loaders can be a challenging task without the right system in place. The process of assembling and transporting an over-dimension vehicle requires several steps, some of which may involve locating and positioning the lifting equipment at the appropriate lift points, removing the wheels, attaching wheel stands, and lowering the vehicle to the ground followed by removing the lifting equipment. Thereafter, a multi-wheel trailer would be placed under the vehicle and the wheel stands removed before it is ready for transportation. Using short stroke cylinders without synchronous lifting would be time-consuming, cumbersome and could introduce additional risk if the load is lifted at different heights.
