Rigging with Alternative Equipment 4
What is Rigging with Alternative Equipment
• Alternative conventional crane & hydraulic gantry solutions
• New approach for specialized lift systems and rigging hardware
• Thinking outside the box during concept and engineering
• Rigging solutions with more flexibility built in – modular approach
• Safety at the core of the design
• Systems with higher lift capacities
• Cost savings through safety, installation & implementation
• Risk management

and 2400 tons
• Lifts heights of up to 250 feet
• Self-erecting configuration
• Free standing design: no guy wires
required
• System is shipped in standard
containers
• Set up on skid tracks

lifting
• Top side can slide sideways for
positioning of the lifted object
• Complete Tower can slide back
and forth, even when fully erected
• 100 Ton crane needed for base
erection
• 3 meters per hour self erecting
speed

Jack-up System (JS Line)
• Fully controlled and automated
jacking system that makes use of
base lifting frame and steel boxes
called barrels.
• Lift capacities between 125 tons
and 800 tons per lifting unit
• Jacking speed up to 20 feet per
hour
• Starting height as low as 6 feet
• Push-up height exceeding 80 feet
Rigging with Alternative Equipment 11
Jack-up System (JS Line)
• Barrels handled by forklifts onto
feeding tables
• System is fully automated. No
need to handle the barrels into
place
• 3 to 5 percent side loading
depending on model
• Ships inside standard sea
containers

Mega Jack System
• Innovative design engineered to
push up structures of staggering
weights and sizes
• 5,200 tons capacity per tower
• System uses multiple towers
operating together
• Control of the system is done by
computers
• 12-tower system gives net jacking
capacity of 60,000 tons
Rigging with Alternative Equipment 15
Mega Jack System
• Standard base dimension is
approximately 16 feet 6 inches by
16 feet 6 inches
• Each tower has 4 strong jacking
stools. Within each stool is a 1,300
tons hydraulic jack
• Hydraulic jacks have 49 inches of
stroke
• Beams automatically inserted using
the integral roller system

Travel Gantry (ETG)
• Combining the safety and
efficiency of gantries with the
SPMT technologies
• Expands from container size to a
footprint of 32 feet long by 16 feet
wide
• Safe working load of up to 60 tons
• Lift heights of up to 26 feet or 2
containers
• Travel speed of 1.5 mph
Rigging with Alternative Equipment 17
Travel Gantry (ETG)
• 7.5 ton auxiliary winch included in
the system
• Self contained hydraulics
• Telescopic cylinders
• All diesel driven hydraulics built in
design
• Steering modes: normal, crab and
carrousel
• Automatic foldable in less than
one hour

Scorpion System
• Frame uses friction to support the
crane on a single wall
• Wall clamping force is
continuously monitored by load
cells with digital readout unit
• No structural alterations or
modifications to the wall
• Eliminates the need for pre-
installed crane base or
counterweights
Rigging with Alternative Equipment 20
Scorpion System
• Frame extends vertically less than
4 feet from the top of the wall
• Compact design requires wall
length of less than 10 feet
• Independent downriggers
accommodate variances of wall
thickness
• 360-degree load handling capacity
• Installs in a single shift and
relocates as a single unit

Self Propelled Modular
Transport (SPMT)
• It is a 3 axle modular system
• Maximum configuration: 2 rows of
6 units
• Width of only 7 feet 6 inches
• Capacity of 60 tons per unit
• Height of 30 inches to 45 inches
• All wheels with individual drive
motors
• Steering modes: normal, crab and
carrousel
Rigging with Alternative Equipment 23
Self Propelled Modular
Transport (SPMT)
• Maximum ground bearing pressure
200 psi
• Equal wheel loading by using
intelligent hydraulic dispersion
• Wireless control system with
analog driving unit and directional
controls with the use of one
joystick
• Ease of connection of separate
trailers into one configuration

transporter system
• Configurations of 2 rows, each
with multiple 4 and 5 unit modules
• Width of only 7 feet 6 inches per
unit

Rigid Chain Technology
• Mechanical linear actuators used in
combination with chain technology
• A simple and robust system
• Designed to move heavy loads
over long strokes
• Can be used as horizontal push
system or vertical lift system
• Highly compact single block
design
Rigging with Alternative Equipment 28
Rigid Chain Technology
• Accuracy and repeatability of
positioning
• No spring effect when loads are
moved on and off the top deck
• The load is only exerted on the
ground and not on any other
structures
• Very light servicing and
maintenance

Shark Link Heavy Lift
System
• System consist of a support frame
and interlocking links designed to
work in conjunction with a
standard 2 or 4 leg hydraulic gantry
• The system required no complex
electronics
• Set-up and break-down can be
performed by a small crew with a
45 ton assist crane
Rigging with Alternative Equipment 30
Shark Link Heavy Lift
System
• Operation of the system required
only 4 persons and one operator
• Shark links are never handled by
personnel, as they are rocked over
into their storage racks
• Due to the low headroom
requirements of the system, both
the load and gantry could pass
through small openings
