Energy Sector
The energy sector plays a crucial role in the economy due to its high importance for a secure and reliable energy supply. Although different energy generation processes may vary, the maintenance processes and handling of turbines are independent of the plant type.
Challenges
Power generation plants involve high costs both during construction and maintenance. In environments with extreme heat, explosive gases, moisture, or dirt, rapid and safe maintenance or component replacement is critical to ensure uninterrupted power supply.
Over the years, modernized plants often offer limited space for new hoists, material flow, and piping. Technicians frequently have to work in confined spaces, surrounded by potentially explosive dusts such as coal or gases like natural gas and secondary by-products.
Our lifting solutions are specifically designed for such demanding conditions, enabling safe, efficient, and precise work even in extremely tight and explosive-prone environments.
Advantages and Benefits
Our pneumatic and hydraulic hoists, trolleys, and crane systems are designed as sealed, purely mechanical constructions. Materials such as stainless steel or galvanized components, as well as special coatings, are carefully selected for use in highly corrosive environments.
For explosive areas, we offer certified hoists with spark resistance to ensure a safe and reliable solution at all times. Learn more about hazardous area classifications here.
Compared to electrical devices, our pneumatic and hydraulic solutions are often more reliable, cost-effective, and flexible. Installation only requires an air connection, which can be completed in a short time using standard tools.
Thanks to multiple configurations based on the same hoist drive, a wide range of applications is possible – for example, in low headroom, confined spaces, or big-bag handling. The consistent use of base components ensures maintenance-friendly processes, shared spare parts, and noticeable savings in maintenance time and costs.
