precise load
movement using one
crane, improving
safety, operating
speed and control.

SHS-Series, SyncHoist Load Positioning

SHS-Series 4-Point SyncHoist System

Accurate Hoisting
and Load Positioning
Enhancing a Cranes
Capability
Synchronous Hoisting
Enerpac SyncHoist is a unique crane
product for below-the-hook positioning
of heavy loads that require precision
placement. The SyncHoist system may reduce
the number of cranes needed and reduce the
costs of multiple picks.
Functions
High precision horizontal and vertical load
positioning
Pre-programmed positioning, tilting and
aligning.

High precision load manoeuvering, vertically and horizontally using

one crane
Reduces the risk of damage from oscillations of wire rope due to
crane jogging and sudden starts/stops
Vastly improving worker safety, operating speed and control
Weather conditions play less critical role
PLC-controlled hydraulics turn lifting into high accuracy hoisting and
load positioning system
Double-acting push/pull cylinders with load holding valves for added
safety in case of hose rupture or coupler damage
Cost reduction compared to conventional load positioning methods.

Applications
Positioning of rotor, stator and propeller
blades of wind turbines
Positioning of roof sections, concrete
elements, steel structures
Positioning of turbines, transformers,
fuel rods
Precise machinery loading, mill rod changes,
bearing changes
Precise positioning of pipe lines,
blow out valves
Positioning and aligning of ship segments
prior to assembly.

Options for system management & control:

Manual control: system warning functions
Automatic control: fully PLC-monitorized system with programmable
functions using touch screen and system warning functions.
Bridge segments are hoisted from the ground,
being positioned with a 4-point SyncHoist
system with fully monitorized cylinders.

The Enerpac SyncHoist system was used with

one hydraulic cylnder to level and position
the 95 ton, 115 m diameter rotor assembly of
wind turbine.

An 4 x 110 ton SyncHoist system used to align steel

blocks of the ships control tower sections allowing
gradual lift of the load and dynamic adjustment in
relation to the centre of gravity during the lift.

SyncHoist - High Precision Load Positioning

What is SyncHoist?
Enerpac SHS-Series SyncHoist is
a hydraulically operated auxiliary
attachment for high precision
load positioning for cranes.

Two options for system management

and control
Contact Enerpac for the following options,
or other customised stroke, capacity and
control configurations.

The automatic version with PLC-controlled

hydraulic pump monitors and guides the
powerful double-acting push-pull cylinders
integrated into the lifting points above the
load. The SyncHoist system can be used
for pre-programmed positioning, tilting and
aligning of loads.
Patented system
Complete system tested in compliance
with Europenan lifting directive and
safety requirements.

1. Manual control
Valves with manual levers
Warnings for thermal motor protection
Visual check: oil level, filter indicator.

SyncHoist improves safety, operating

speed and control of load movement
Geometric positioning of heavy loads
in a horizontal and vertical plane are
frequently done using more than one
crane. Synchronising movements between
cranes are difficult and risky. The lifting
inaccuracy can result in damage to the load
and support structures and puts workers
at risks. The SyncHoist system can be
used for controlled hydraulic horizontal and
vertical material handling.

2. Automatic control
Load and stroke monitoring,
and stroke control
PLC-control and touch screen
Solenoid valves with pendant
Pre-programmable motions and
data recording
System warnings for:
maximum cylinder load control setting
stroke and position control
thermal motor protection
oil level and filter indicator.
