Specialist lifting, jacking and skidding
With a fleet of skidding systems, jacking systems, hydraulic gantries and cranes, Allelys are perfectly positioned to support lifting and installation projects.
Having the flexibility to engineer bespoke solutions for individual customers needs is a strength that flows through the Allelys business. Investing in the most up to date equipment gives us the ability to overcome the most challenging problems and perform to the very highest standards. Technical support comes from our in-house engineering team, who listen to the customer’s requirements and engineer the most practical, cost effective and safe solution.
Lifting
Our lifting capabilities range from Versa Lifts, Franna cranes and mobile cranes, through to hydraulic lifting gantries with 900te capacity. The Allelys lifting equipment is utilised as part of an engineered project solution, but is also available to hire within our specialist equipment hire range. To provide customers with as much flexibility as possible, our cranes are available to hire on a crane hire agreement or contract lift basis.
If your project has restricted access, meaning that it’s not possible to install a permanent overhead structure or that cranes cannot be used, then hydraulic lifting systems are particularly beneficial and can be used in conjunction with skid tracks to lift and skid the load.
Jacking and skidding
Alternatively, jacking systems can be used to lift loads and within the Allelys fleet of equipment we have climbing jacks, cylinder jacks and strand jacks.
Climbing jacks are hydraulic and allow a heavy load to be raised or lowered under control. Cylinder jacks are used to raise loads to a position where the climbing jacks can be placed underneath the load to continue the lift. Or to complete a lift by lowering the load to the ground level once the climbing jack has been removed. Strand jacks are a hydraulic cylinder which is used to move a cable through the jack to lift or lower the attached load.
Heavy lift skidding systems are hydraulically controlled to enable precise positioning. They comprise of two main components, skid shoes and skid beams. The load and the skid shoes are then moved along the skid beams using a self-locking hydraulic propulsion system.
