System Safely Raises, Lowers Heavy Loads
Without Crane Assist
Engineered Rigging’s new Pipe Modular Lift System (PMLS) is
claimed to eliminate the hazards of suspended loads, impacts
from wind, and reliance on cranes by employing a platform that
mechanically raises and lowers heavy components. According to
the vendor, it provides a safer, faster method of lifting equipment
and materials up and into elevated locations based upon site-specific
needs. The system offers lifting capacities of 400, 800 and
1,200 tons at a vertical travel distance of 50 ft or more depending
on the application, with exact height tailored to match project
requirements. The standard column section can be increased in
10-ft increments or customized to meet client needs. It can be
constructed in square, rectangular and round layouts based on
site-specific conditions. It is designed for 5% side loading with
clear span openings configurable to 50 ft or larger. The PMLS
ships in 12 standard ground transportation trailers without wide
load or heavy load requirements. With a lifting speed of 20 in. per
minute, Engineered Rigging’s PMLS is twice as fast as strand jack
systems. If the PMLS loses power, the load remains safely in place
on the secured platform until power is restored. The PMLS is
designed to withstand 120 mph (193 km/h) winds and operates
in winds up to 50 mph.
