Belgium primarily based REM-B Hydraulics has developed a hydraulic shackle launch powerpack based on Enerpac’s cordless XC-Series hydraulic pump for connecting and releasing a thousand tonne, 85 m excessive, offshore wind turbine bases throughout quayside lifting onto a pontoon.

REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for worldwide steel development company, Smulders. The self-contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer different to long lengths of hydraulic hoses connected to a quayside pump.
Lifting 85m high fabricated turbine bases from the quayside on to a barge for transport offshore requires shackles to attach the turbine base to a three-point lifting body and crane. Engaging and releasing the shackles is finished utilizing a double acting valve arrangement powered by quayside pump related by long hoses. Smulders was on the lookout for a simpler and safer method of engaging and releasing the shackles with out the necessity for lengthy hoses.
Attached to every leg of the lifting body, the REM-B Hydraulics’ system removes the requirement for lengthy hoses by utilizing a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to function a bi-directional valve related to a cylinder that strikes the pin connecting the shackle. The whole system is contained in a compact steel case with an exterior aerial linking each unit to a wi-fi controller. For increased security, the shackle pins are activated sequentially.
Weighing เพรสเชอร์เกจnuovafima , the Enerpac XC-Series hydraulic pump is equipped with an efficient electrical motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering exceptional velocity and run time and is designed for remote outside locations.
