Step Jacks
Heavy Lifting & Transportation Systems
A Step Jack is a Hydraulic Cylinder, fitted with a square foot plate, which wooden beams can support. By stacking beams and operating the Cylinder, objects can be lifted and supported up to heights of 2-3 meters. They are often used for Storage Tank lifting, to execute maintenance on the tanks
A Holmatro (oil) Step Jack, Storage Tank Lifting system usually contains:
• A set of Step jacks with a capacity of 25, 35-, 50-, 100-, or 200-Ton cylinders
• A set of hydraulic hoses
• Hydraulic pump unit: split flow (high oil tank capacity), including flow panels/control handles to manage the load in a safe & controlled way.
Two types of step jack configurations are commonly used for storage tank lifting:
• Circular set-up
• 4-quadrant setup.
A step jack system will preferably be equipped with flat-face hydraulic quick couplers. These couplers provide a secure, quick connection and are easy to clean because of their flat connecting surface. The required hoses can be supplied in two different colors: orange for the pressure side and green for the return side. All orange hoses will be fitted with male couplers, and all green hoses will be fitted with female couplers. This ensures an easy, user-friendly & safe connection of all hoses and components.
