Advantages of Using A Hydraulic Jack Up System in The Construction of Storage Tanks

Today, more and more construction companies are choosing to use hydraulic jack up system instead of manual jacking to complete tank jacking. What factors play a role in making people spend time and money learning a new technology instead of traditional methods.

• Time cost

• Lowering Project Costs

• Safety assurance

Time cost

With the development of science and technology, advanced machines will gradually replace manpower, in the field of tank construction is no exception.

LYT-type hydraulic jack up system is composed of one-stage double-acting hydraulic cylinder, pulley block, load-bearing chain and oil way etc. Moveable pulley is used to enlarge chain stroke, i.e. traveling distance of the cylinder is 1/2 of lifting distance of the chain.

The lifting speed of hydraulic jacking is much greater than that of manual jacking. Manual jacking requires many people to exert hard action on the tank siding at the same time. A slight error will cause the siding cannot rise to the upper layer accurately, which will cause the loss of time. And there would be no this problem, using hydraulic pressure bumps up our hydraulic roof have equal to the function of the jack-up, rising to the top of a hydraulic speed is slow, other hydraulic roof to slow or even stop the jack-up to achieve the effect of a jack-up at the same time, without the interference of external factors, only the mechanical movement can quickly achieve the objectives of the top of tank wall.

Lowering Project Costs

Hydraulic jack up system offer a significant advantage in terms of construction speed. Traditional methods of constructing tank roofs often involve manual labor, which can be time-consuming and labor-intensive. In contrast, hydraulic roofs utilize automated systems that allow for faster installation and adjustment. The hydraulic mechanism enables swift and precise movement, reducing the time required for roof assembly. This advantage translates into accelerated construction progress, enabling project completion within shorter timelines.

The adoption of hydraulic jack up system for storage tanks can lead to substantial cost savings. Firstly, the accelerated construction progress mentioned earlier reduces labor costs, as fewer man-hours are required for roof installation. Additionally, the simplicity of hydraulic jack up system operation minimizes the need for specialized skills or extensive training, reducing training costs for personnel. Moreover, hydraulic jack up system are often designed to be lightweight, resulting in reduced material costs. The combination of these factors contributes to overall project cost reduction, making hydraulic jack up system an economically viable choice.

Safety assurance

The hydraulic jack up system of the storage tank is a device that realizes the lifting of the top of the storage tank through the hydraulic system. It can raise the top of the storage tank to the required height for installation, maintenance and cleaning. Compared with the traditional high-altitude operation method, the hydraulic jack up system of the storage tank has the following significant advantages.

First of all, the hydraulic jack up system of the storage tank can effectively reduce high altitude work. In the traditional storage tank installation process, workers need to perform various operations at high altitudes, such as welding and installing pipes. Not only is this a security risk, but it can also lead to inefficiency. The tank hydraulic jack up system can raise the top of the tank near the ground, so that workers can operate in a safer and more stable environment, thus greatly reducing the need for high-altitude work.

Secondly, the hydraulic jack up system of the storage tank makes the construction process safer. In the storage tank installation process, workers need to carry out a variety of high-risk operations, such as welding, cutting, etc. The tank hydraulic jack up system can raise the top of the tank near the ground, so that workers can more easily access and operate the tank, thus reducing the chance of accidents. In addition, the hydraulic jack up system of the storage tank can also provide a stable working platform, so that workers can better control the working environment, and further improve the safety of construction.
