Repaired not Replaced

This 67m long, 17m wide bridge’s abutments and piers had moved significantly during earthquakes leading to the bridge deck dropping and twisting. Repairs required the installation of temporary abutments and the use of high precision, computer controlled lifting equipment to straighten, level and raise the bridge deck. Durapac’s syncMASTER System provided an array of five […]

A Lift with the Lot

A Forklift Service Company needed to lift forklifts of different sizes, shapes and weights AND to simplify the lifting gear required. The Durapac range of KPL-Series high pressure, Kevlar® reinforced air lifting bags were offered. These were to replace 95% of the mechanical jacks typically used. The mechanical jacks were heavy, slow to rise, handles […]

3, 2, 1 Bridge Launch

This project was for a bridge launching system where 4 x RSLC-1504 Durapac cylinders were required to jack up the bridge to align to the joining abutment. A Durapac split-flow pump PEMS4054 was used to synchronise the jacking of the 4 cylinders to ensure correct alignment. 2 x RD-15032 Durapac pushing cylinders were used to […]

Safe D Lock: The Work Horse

At this site, the Durapac Safe D Lock jack was used for repetitive work changing dump truck tyres. Carrying out multiple lifts throughout the day. The CAT789B dump truck (pictured) with a net weight of just over 123 tonne was no problem for the single Durapac™ Safe D Lock™ jack # SDL-15096, 150 ton capacity […]

Perfect Tension

When a customer required a simple and accurate method of applying the correct clamping force on a long installation of pipeline, Durapac DBS-Series Hydraulic Bolt Tensioners were the perfect choice to perform this tensioning test on a polypropylene pipe with specially cast concrete pipe clamp. The tensioners also guarantee an even clamping force. The project required the tensioners […]

DANGER (Overhead) High Voltage!

For this transformer change out; 4 x RG-258 Durapac 25 ton cylinders with stabilising bases, four way manifold and an electric pump were required to manoeuvre the transformer into position. The transformer was loaded onto rated I-beams which were slowly driven into the yard with a remote controlled caterpillar track machine. 30 ton load skates were used […]
