Custom-solution sorts out 'snags' at STW

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.
