When engineers involved in
a major Ajman (UAE)
STW contract were closing
down the final few snagging items,
REID Lifting was asked to explore
solutions for lifting blower motors
installed in acoustic enclosures.

The Reid solution, a customvariant
of its Porta-Gantry range,
was designed such that the blower
motors could be removed without
dismantling the acoustic covers. The
lifting gantry, being lightweight
aluminium alloy, is portable and
easily manually assembled. The
design maximises every millimetre of
headroom within the enclosure and
includes wind-up jack legs that allow
both coarse and fine adjustment in
the height of lift. The system will be
used across the suite of six blowers
within the plant-room.

The equipment is installed and
ready to use within 10min by just
two maintenance operators and can
also be used on other lifting tasks.
