Toughest-yet heavy tonnage cylinders safely meet the harshest lifting and maintenance challenges

Maintenance Matters

New generation Enerpac high-tonnage cylinders are engineered to meet demand for heavy lifts in some of the harshest land and maritime environments of Australasia, including remote sites encountered in the Christmas-New Year maintenance season.

Enerpac’s Summit Edition HTC models – in standard capacities from 50-1000 tons – are designed to provide optimum reliability, durability, cost-efficiency and safety for industries and far-flung projects that cannot afford downtime as operations staff work to complete projects within demanding time frames.

Summit Edition cylinders are particularly suited to industries including mining and energy, onshore and offshore oil and gas, construction and infrastructure, bridges and pipeline plant, heavy manufacturing, materials handling, process engineering and maintenance across diverse industries.

Backed by Enerpac’s extensive service and technical engineering network throughout Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea, they offer outstanding durability, longer service life, and greater side-load resistance for increased heavy lift capability and safety margins. Advanced bearing and sealing technology provides side load resistance up to 10 per cent

New HTC engineering incorporated into the cylinders includes advanced bearing and sealing technology to extend the boundaries for eccentric loads, while reducing cylinder maintenance intervals, says Enerpac National Sales Manager Mr Darryl Lange.

“The effects of corrosion and scoring are no longer a concern with the Summit ranges because of the cylinders’ black nitrocarburization surface treatment for improved load and wear resistance, plus corrosion protection.”

“Safety has long been a major feature of Enerpac cylinder designs, and these cylinders lift our outstanding safety record further,” says Mr Lange.

The Summit HTC range is complemented by Enerpac’s latest CUSP-Series and CULP-Series high-tonnage ultra-flat cylinders. The CUSP-Series - featuring an integrated tilting function with 10 to 1,000-ton capacity, 7-17mm stroke and maximum operating pressure of 700 bar – is designed for harsh conditions which require low clearance, especially for industrial maintenance and construction applications. The complementary CULP-Series has an integrated stop ring with 10 to 50-ton capacity, 6mm stroke and maximum operating pressure of 700 bar.

In addition to the standard range of lifting capacities, individual HTC cylinders can be custom-manufactured to capacities exceeding 1000 tons.

Summit Edition HTC cylinders are complemented by Enerpac pumping solutions proven throughout Australasia for applications prioritising speed, control, intermittent or heavy duty. Pumping solutions include P series Hand Pumps, XC series Cordless Pumps, XA series Air Driven pumps, ZU4 series portable electric pumps, ZE series Electric Pumps and SFP series Split Flow pumps.

Performance of Summit Edition cylinders can be further enhanced by the use of the latest Venturi Valve Technology with ZE and ZU pumps. Return Assisted Electric Pumps with Venturi Valve Technology provide faster retraction speed and improve the productivity of single-acting cylinders.
