Industry: Energy / Substation
Components: 87,000 lbs. Transformer
EQUIPMENT
200-ton Jack and Slide System, 270-ton Hydraulic Crane
SCOPE OF WORK
Tasked with the offload and set of an 87,000 lbs. transformer at a local substation.
CUSTOMER CHALLENGE
The install of the transformer had a few challenges that wouldn’t allow for a simple crane offload and set. The site of installation had overhead obstructions as well as the location was too far for a crane to reach.
OUR SOLUTION
We offloaded the transformer with a hydraulic crane and placed it on our Jack and Slide system. This allowed us to overcome the issues with reach and overhead obstructions. We then slid the transformer into place and used jacks to set in its final location.
