Finishing Touches to Kuli Hoist and Crab Unit

Finishing Touches to Kuli Hoist and Crab Unit

The specially constructed Crab Unit using a Kuli Foot Mounted Hoist Unit, were today in our workshop having the few remaining jobs completed before delivery to site. The Crab Unit was completed yesterday and the Hoist fitted to it this morning. The Kuli hoist was delivered on exactly the date agreed, so helping us meet our tight deadline. The wiring from the control panel to the motors were connected and the holes drilled ready for the buffers to be fitted. The hoist and crab unit will be delivered to site on Monday, where it will be fitted onto the 15.5 metre span Double Girder Crane Bridge, as mentioned in previous blogs.

The 12 tonne Double Girder Crane Bridge, which we have been fabricated for the last few weeks, was loaded on a Trailer on Saturday Morning.

Double Girder Crane Bridge Testing

Double Girder Crane Bridge Testing

Having recently received an order for 12 tonne Double Girder Crane Bridge, with a span of 15350mm, we decided to test the Crane Bridge for deflection with a Hydraulic Pump and Cylinder. We converted the PSI reading on the gauge of the pump to a KG force reading.

Double Girder Crane Bridge

Harrison Fabrication Lifting Limited was recently asked to convert two 6.3 tonne crane bridges, to lift 15 tonne by fitting a Double Girder Crane Bridge between them. The Crane Bridge was fitted onto the existing crane bridges with a 50 x 30mm rail welded on top of each bridge. The 15 tonne Double Girder Crane Bridge, fitted with two speed end carriages, was then positioned on the two 6.3 tonne crane bridges. The two 6.3 tonne crane bridges were connected together with a bar at each end, to make sure they were always at the same span. A Kuli 15 tonne wire rope hoist was fitted to the Double Girder Crane Bridge. Both 6.3 tonne crane bridges have Liftket hoist fitted them and they can be used as normal, although the two crane bridges are a fixed position from each other.
