EVO-Series, Synchronous Lifting Systems

Enerpac’s family of EVO synchronous lifting systems provides precision control suitable for most lifting/lowering applications.

What is Synchronous Lifting?

To achieve high-precision movement of heavy objects it is necessary to control and synchronize the movements of multiple lifting points.

The PLC-control uses feedback from multiple sensors to control the lifting, lowering and positioning of any large, heavy or complex structure, regardless of weight distribution.

By varying the oil flow to each cylinder, the system maintains very accurate positional control. By eliminating manual intervention, the sync lift helps maintain structural integrity and increases the productivity and safety of the lift.

PLC-controlled synchronous lifting systems reduce the risk of bending, twisting or tilting, due to uneven weight distribution or load-shifts between the lift points.

Features

Managing lifting operations from a central control system improves safety and operational productivity
Lifting system to control 4, 8 or 12 lifting points (12 points for Standard EVO only)
Intuitive user interface provides easy set-up and control with multiple lifting options
Accuracy of up to 1 mm between leading and lagging cylinders
For use with standard single- or double-acting cylinders
Built in warning and stop alarms for optimum safety
Available with several flow options for optimal lifting speed

Applications

16-point Enerpac SyncLift system and 39 hydraulic jacks were used to lift a historic building in Tbilisi, Georgia

Lifting a Historic Building for Renovation
The 16-point SyncLift system allowed the operator to control all hydraulic jacks from a single touch-screen controller, while lifting the building, in Tbilisi, Georgia, 3.4 meters onto pylons for renovations.

Synchronously Lowering an 80-ton Yacht
The uneven distribution of weight made lowering the yacht a challenge. The EVO-W Serie’s stage lift mode and touch-screen were used to monitor and control stroke and center of gravity as the yacht was lowered 100mm at a time. The entire operation was safely completed in two hours.

Lift and Weigh of a Jack-Up Rig Cantilever and Drill Floor
The EVO-W Series synchronously lifted the cantilever and drill floor a total of a few millimeters over multiple increments. Once lifted, the EVO-W weighing feature monitored, calculated, and recorded the exact weight during the lift.

Replacing Bridge Bearings without Interrupting Traffic to the Second Bosphorus Bridge
An 8 point Synchronous Lifting System and 20 CLP-Series hydraulic pancake locknut cylinders were used to jack the deck sections in order to remove and replace 400 bearings on the Sadabad Viaduct.

Lifting a Reclaimer Stacker for Bearing Replacement
Controlled by a four-point EVO system, four hydraulic cylinders lifted and lowered the stacker 400 mm. The operation was accomplished from a central control unit with a touchscreen display interface, located 30 meters from the load.

Slew Bearing Replacement on a Ship Loader
A 12 point EVO Synchronous Lift System and CLRG and RR-Series cylinders were utilized to maintain the balance of the ship loader during the lifting and lowering operation.

Synchronous Lift System Launches 43,000 ton Offshore Oil Platform
Controlled by a synchronous lifting system, 352 compact 300-ton hydraulic cylinders were grouped into active skids to lift and skid the offshore oil platform onto a ship.

Undecking an Electric Rope Shovel
The synchronized lift system reduced the possibility of damage to the shovel by bringing control of all four jacks to a single operator station. Delivering P&H MinePro-Chile a safe and productive lifting solution.
