Key Features:

Unmatched Stability & Control: Chain systems offer inherent rigidity compared to wire ropes, minimizing sway and providing superior positional stability during lifting/lowering.

High Precision Synchronization: Advanced PLC control ensures all jacks move in perfect unison, maintaining level lift within tight tolerances, crucial for tank integrity and foundation alignment.

Enhanced Safety: Multiple safety features: overload protection, emergency stop, chain slack detection, mechanical locking nuts/pins, and redundant system monitoring. High-strength chains are highly resistant to shock loads and damage.

High Load Capacity & Compactness: Chain jacks deliver immense lifting force from a relatively compact footprint, ideal for confined spaces around tank bases.

Durability & Reliability: Engineered alloy steel chains and robust hydraulic components ensure long service life and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.

Smooth & Controlled Operation: Hydraulic actuation provides exceptionally smooth motion, essential for sensitive operations like setting tanks onto foundations or delicate supports.

Modularity & Scalability: Systems can be easily configured with the required number of jacks to handle tanks of virtually any size and weight.

Applications:

New Tank Construction: Lifting the completed tank shell off the ground after bottom welding to allow for annular plate welding and inspection.

Tank Relocation: Safely lifting and lowering tanks for moving them to new foundations or within a facility.

Tank Maintenance & Repair: Elevating tanks to replace/repaint foundations, replace bottom plates, or inspect/repair the tank base.

Foundation Replacement/Upgrade: Lifting the tank to allow demolition and reconstruction of the concrete ringwall or pad foundation.

Jacking for Roof Work: Providing controlled lift for roof installation, repair, or replacement.

Precise Setting: Final positioning of tanks onto piles, supports, or seismic isolation bearings with millimeter accuracy.

Widely Used In: Oil & Gas Terminals (Floating Roof Tanks, Fixed Roof Tanks), Petrochemical Plants, Refineries, Water/Wastewater Treatment Plants, Power Plants, LNG Storage, Large Silos.
