Belgium primarily based REM-B Hydraulics has developed a hydraulic shackle release powerpack primarily based on Enerpac’s cordless XC-Series hydraulic pump for connecting and releasing one thousand tonne, 85 m high, offshore wind turbine bases throughout quayside lifting onto a pontoon.

REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for international metal construction firm, Smulders. The self-contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer alternative to long lengths of hydraulic hoses connected to a quayside pump.
Lifting 85m high fabricated turbine bases from the quayside on to a barge for transport offshore requires shackles to attach the turbine base to a three-point lifting body and crane. Engaging and releasing the shackles is finished using a double appearing valve association powered by quayside pump related by lengthy hoses. Smulders was looking for a much less complicated and safer method of partaking and releasing the shackles without the need for lengthy hoses.
Attached to each leg of the lifting frame, the REM-B Hydraulics’ system removes the requirement for lengthy hoses by using a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to function a bi-directional valve related to a cylinder that moves the pin connecting the shackle. เกจวัดแรงดันไอน้ำ is contained in a compact steel case with an external aerial linking each unit to a wireless controller. For increased safety, the shackle pins are activated sequentially.
Weighing 9.9 kg, the Enerpac XC-Series hydraulic pump is provided with an environment friendly electrical motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering exceptional velocity and run time and is designed for remote outdoor places.
