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

REM-B Hydraulics developed the powerpacks for international steel construction firm, Smulders. The self-contained, remote-controlled hydraulics powerpacks are a safer different to lengthy lengths of hydraulic hoses connected to a quayside pump.
Lifting 85m high fabricated turbine bases from the quayside on to a barge for shipping offshore requires shackles to attach the turbine base to a three-point lifting frame and crane. Engaging and releasing the shackles is completed using a double acting valve arrangement powered by quayside pump related by lengthy hoses. Smulders was looking for a less complicated and safer methodology of partaking and releasing the shackles with out the necessity for lengthy hoses.
Attached to เครื่องมือที่ใช้ในการวัดความดัน of the lifting frame, the REM-B Hydraulics’ system removes the requirement for long hoses by using a battery-powered, Enerpac XC pump to operate 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 wi-fi controller. For elevated safety, the shackle pins are activated sequentially.
Weighing 9.9 kg, the Enerpac XC-Series hydraulic pump is supplied with an efficient electrical motor powered by an industrial grade 28-volt, Lithium-Ion battery, delivering exceptional pace and run time and is designed for distant outside areas.
