A total of 22 plane trusses were lifted by the SLU jack system, and the truss was then rested on the hydraulic jack at the truss bottom chord for connecting works of the truss.<\/p>\n

The SLUs were transferred to the next lifting position when the truss vertically transferred the load to the hydraulic jacking system.<\/p>\n

The maximum weight of the truss is 108 tons and it is 30m long. The highest lifting height was about 20m.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Features & Advantages<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Available in differing capacities 10t to 500t
\n\u2022 Speed possible up to 15m\/hr with high oil delivery pump
\n\u2022 Direct load reading via pressure gauges
\n\u2022 Less mounting space required
\n\u2022 Mechanical locking with wedges on anchor block
\n\u2022 High safety factor \u2013 normally above 2<\/p>\n

Limitations & Disadvantages<\/strong>
\n\u2022 Strands as consumables. Can be damaged during operation. Requires change after < 50 times of operation
\n\u2022 Wedges have to be cleaned and changed after < 20 lifts
\n\u2022 Speed may not be as fast as winches<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
