Comprehensive, completely
automatic, remote control and
monitoring is as practical reality in
our system which enables benefits
such as:

▪ mechanically fail-safe gripping
  mechanisms

▪ pre-set overload protection

▪ automatic synchronization of
  lifting speeds irrespective of loads

▪ ample operating speeds

▪ load is held mechanically not
  hydraulically at any time
  movement is stopped

▪ movement can be stopped and
  held indefinitely at any point in
  jack stroke

▪ extremely precise adjustment
  of the lift for setting of weld gaps
  or the fitting of steelwork
  connecting bolts

▪ automatic lowering without any
  personnel in attendance at the
   jacks

▪ ready re-distribution of the
  jack loads

▪ minimal re-lubrication of gripping
  mechanisms - lifts of 90 meters
  and horizontal moves of 250
  meters have been completed
  without the need for re-lubrication

▪ gripping mechanisms are fully
  accessible at all times

▪ full efficiency in all attitudes from
  vertical through to horizontal

▪ completely self contained and
  very rugged.

Because of its
unrivalled versatility
as a temporary
support structure,
Towerlift can be
used in varying
ways to produce
the most economical
lifting arrangement.

Examples of typical
formats are: paired
towers with crosshead
beams; four-square towers with crosshead
beams; towers with tied cantilever beams; independent luffed towers; portalised luffed towers.

Strand Jacks
We operate a range of jacks from 15 to 560 tons
capacity each based upon lift cables of 1 to 37
strands of 18mm diameter, 7 wire, die-compacted,
prestressing strand of guaranteed minimum
breaking load of 38 tons per strand.

Jacks may be used singly, in pairs, or in groups to
give any lifting capacity required.

Power Packs
We operate a large fleet of purpose built diesel-
hydraulic and electro-hydraulic power packs.

All have multiple outlets of matched flow which
automatically ensures synchronized operation
speed of jacks connected to each of these outlets.

In addition to main hydraulics, they also deliver flow for operation of the secondary hydraulic
systems which controls jack gripping mechanisms.From this fleet, we are able to select power
pack and jack combinations to meet all functional requirements of synchronized lifting by
multiples jacks at appropriate lifting speeds.

Monitoring and Control Systems
All power packs have direct, panel mounted, monitoring and control systems.

It would be typical that an operator might control a multi-jack lift or lower by means of two
functional control levers on the power pack with the option of opening or closing hydraulic
flow to all or any of the jacks at any stage by means of line valves.

Maximum pumping pressure, hence jack lifting force, can be pre-set or altered at will by
pressure control valves on the panel.

All pumping pressures to each jack, and each jack's secondary hydraulics pressure, are
displayed on panel gauges.

Further electronic monitoring can display number of lift strokes completed and individual
stroke positions on each jack.

Similar control and monitoring facilities can also be positioned remote from the power
pack to fully computerized systems, including automatic lifting and lowering capabilities.
