Industry hydraulic cylinders used on a variety of different projects in different environments.
Mining: Replacing a Bearing in a Stacker Reclaimer： A stacker reclaimer is a huge piece of mining machinery used for handling bulk materials. These systems move several thousand tons of aggregates per hour, and so require regular maintenance.
The above shows cylinders being used when a bearing needed replacing on a 470-ton stacker reclaimer. The project involved lifting the unit to a height of approximately 400 mm (15.74 inches).
Oil & Gas: Lifting a Coker for Base Repair Maintenance: Coker units are large structures that play a key part in the oil refining process. The project here involves a Coker weighing 600 tons and measuring 40m (131ft) tall, and 9m (29.5ft) diameter. The objective was to stabilize the foundation, which meant the Coker needed to be lifted approximately 100mm (4”). CLRG-Series High Tonnage Hydraulic Cylinders were used with an EVO Synchronous Lifting System.
Marine: Slew Bearing Replacement on a Ship Loader：Replacing the slew bearing on this 40-year-old ship loader required the upper structure to be lifted 300mm (12”) to provide adequate clearance during replacement. An EVO Synchronous Lifting System with CLRG-Series High Tonnage Cylinders and RR-Series Double-Acting Cylinders were used for the 12-point lift.
Agriculture: Repairing the Foundation of a Tilting Silo: When part of a silo foundation dropped 4 inches, it caused the silo to tilt dangerously. The solution involved lifting and leveling the 308-ton silo, and structurally supporting it while the foundation was restabilized. RC Cylinders were used with a Z Class pump.
