New Enerpac Multi-Functional Synchronous Lifting System Uses Digitally-Controlled Hydraulics for Enhanced Operation and Safety

The multifunctional EVO-Series can be used with standard 10,000 psi single- or double-acting cylinders and is offered with a 5 HP or 10 HP hydraulic power unit with 66 gallon reservoir. The system also offers eight standard hydraulic control modes and can control 4, 8 or 12 points with one hydraulic power unit.

Enerpac’s synchronous lifting technology monitors and manages lifting, lowering, weighing, alignment and load transfer procedures of non-uniformly distributed heavy loads. Incorporating a variable frequency drive motor with PLC capabilities ensures precise synchronization of oil flow, cylinder stroke and speed. With this ability to oversee lifting operations, as well as input parameters for load and stroke tolerance, users can safely and efficiently perform challenging lifting applications.

“The EVO-Series System allows one device to control the entire lifting operation while providing status updates at every point of the process, without the need for manual monitoring,” said Al Hamdan, Global Marketing & Innovation Leader at Enerpac. “By digitally monitoring and controlling lifting operations, users enhance safety and eliminate costly downtime vs. manual operations.”

For superior visibility and control, the EVO-Series offers network capabilities to link up to four hydraulic power units to a single master control and features a user-friendly interface with easy-to-use menus for simplistic navigation. Additionally, the system can be programmed to record and store operation data at user-defined intervals to continuously monitor the pressure and position of every lifting point for safe, accurate control.
