Overview
A total of 84 catalytic converters are installed on two levels of a power plant. The individual elements of the converters are transported from ground level to a height of 200 ft. or 215 ft. The hoist was used for the initial installation and subsequently for replacing the converters which weigh 5,500 lbs. The narrow installation openings are available for transport of converter cages safely over the various levels of the building. In view of the lateral clearance on the narrow side, the task required a non-rotating true vertical lift.
Solution
To solve the problem, Stahl selected a standard SH60 wire rope hoist mounted to a motorized trolley. The model selected is our two part double reeved unit with a standard drum. In the decision process, consideration was given to a high duty cycle and high lift speeds. This provided continuous service with short cycle times in a high ambient temperature environment.
Wrap Up
The entire project was carried through with Stahl, from the concept to supply. The SH60 has proven to be a practical, dependable solution for daily use since its late 2004 commissioning.
An international Engineering Company needed a reliable yet economical solution for a Power Plant client. They selected Stahl because the project could be accomplished with standard equipment in a timely manner.
