Electric Rope Shovel Undecking
Routine maintenance is required on a P&H 4100XPC Electric Rope Shovel after every 30,000 hours of operation. The maintenance activities require the upper section to be lifted off the car body to machine bearing surfaces and inspect and repair structural components. Weighing approximately 1,000 tons, lifting the upper car body requires a significant amount of force and control.

Container Crane Installed Using Synchronous Lifting System
Optimum weight distribution is fundamental to the safety and ongoing reliability of a container crane. Accurately lifting, weighing, and positioning an 800 ton container crane on the rails is critical to achieving ideal weight distribution. Existing methods of lifting port cranes typically involve whole teams of lifting personnel manually coordinating lifts with a standard pump without stroke control or weighing capabilities. Such methods are typically not accurate in lifting and do not provide any input concerning weight distribution.

Replacing Rail Bridge Decks with a Hydraulic Gantry
Timing is critical for rail construction projects to avoid unscheduled disruption to train and passenger services. However, the best project planning can be undermined by adverse weather conditions. High winds, greater than 12 mph, may prevent bridge deck lifting using a crane, leading to project delays.
