Lifting unit developed for nunclear plant

This lifting yoke was custom-made for a specific unique "container". Here, the lifting beams are form-fitted with 3D tapered lifting points around the four "carrying steps". The position and shape of these (billet-shaped) carrying steps even had to be measured with a 3D scanner.
High safety requirements were imposed on the product for both the application and the environment. Here, several self-locking interlocks were engineered while maintaining ease of operation.
Thanks to its special worm gear transmission, the tilting mechanism is capable of rotating a 6.5-tonne container 0 to 80° degrees by one person within the required minute. At this tilted position, the container can be filled and emptied three metres underwater. Partly for this reason, the tilting yoke is made entirely of stainless steel 316(L) and Duplex.
