Ship parts propelled to replacement May 1st 2010 Air operated lifting equipment from
J D Neuhaus is reported to have a
proven pedigree for operation in the
shipyard and offshore industries,
with a range of hoists and winches
which provide sensitive positioning
controls with rugged, safe and
reliable lifting capabilities.
In a recent application of this type,
a 34t starboard propeller on the US
aircraft carrier Enterprise has been
replaced. The operation was successfully
carried out underwater in
Francisco Bay using three JDN Profi
air hoists, each with a capacity of 50t.
JDN lifting equipment also has an
Ex rating as standard, making it
suitable for refurbishment work on
vessels that may previously have been
carrying hazardous or potentially
explosive cargo.
The JDN equipment available
includes the Profi range of hoists
with lifting capacities from 250kg up
to 100t. These are equipped with
mounting lugs for overhead rail
mounting using manual, reel chain
or air-motor operated trolleys. More articles from J.D.Neuhaus Limited: |
