Belgium based mostly REM-B Hydraulics has developed a hydraulic shackle release powerpack based mostly on Enerpac’s cordless XC-Series hydraulic pump for connecting and releasing 1000 tonne, 85 m high, offshore wind turbine bases during quayside lifting onto a pontoon.

REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for worldwide steel building firm, Smulders. The self-contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer different to lengthy lengths of hydraulic hoses related to a quayside pump.
Lifting เกจวัดco2 fabricated turbine bases from the quayside on to a barge for transport offshore requires shackles to connect the turbine base to a three-point lifting body and crane. Engaging and releasing the shackles is done using a double performing valve association powered by quayside pump connected by long hoses. เกจวัดco2 was in search of an easier and safer methodology of partaking and releasing the shackles with out the necessity for long hoses.
Attached to every leg of the lifting body, the REM-B Hydraulics’ system removes the requirement for lengthy hoses by utilizing a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to function a bi-directional valve linked to a cylinder that strikes the pin connecting the shackle. The whole system is contained in a compact metal case with an external aerial linking each unit to a wireless controller. For elevated security, the shackle pins are activated sequentially.
Weighing 9.9 kg, the Enerpac XC-Series hydraulic pump is supplied with an efficient electric motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering exceptional velocity and run time and is designed for remote outdoor places.
