The hydraulic strand jacks lifting technique originates from the concrete post tensioning principle. A strand jack can be considered a linear winch. In a strand jack, a bundle of steel cables or strands are guided through a hydraulic cylinder; above and below the cylinder are anchor systems with wedges that grip the strand bundle. By stroking the cylinder in and out while the grips are engaged in the anchors, a lifting or lowering movement is achieved.
Strand jacks are an essential tool for precision-heavy lifting operations, enabling safe and efficient handling of extremely large loads. Hi-Press Hydraulics Ltd. is proud to offer a comprehensive range of hydraulic strand jacks that deliver unparalleled performance, leveraging advanced technology from leading manufacturers like Enerpac.
Strand jacks operate as linear winches, using a bundle of high-strength steel cables (strands) to lift or lower heavy loads. The strands are guided through a hydraulic cylinder, with anchor systems gripping the strands at the top and bottom. This precise mechanism allows for the synchronous movement of loads, even in challenging environments such as construction, offshore oil and gas projects, and bridge-building operations.
Enerpac strand jacks, for example, can lift loads from 17 tonnes up to a staggering 1,400 tonnes, while maintaining precision through automated control systems. They also feature robust anti-corrosion coatings, making them ideal for use in marine and industrial environments.
Hydraulic strand jacks are used in a wide variety of industries, including:
