Solutions for Energy & Water Management

HYDROPOWER PLANT

To ensure continuous operation of turbine generators with a total output of 330 megawatts, maintaining a consistent water flow is essential — achieved by damming the Kishanganga River.

MAINTENANCE IN HYDROPOWER PLANTS

A major modernization project at a hydropower facility was successfully completed using STAHL CraneSystems CraneKits. The new crane handles multiple heavy-duty lifting tasks, including raising 220-ton rotors for maintenance without the need to dismantle the stator poles.

NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION

For a filter replacement in a natural gas refinery in Saudi Arabia, Columbus McKinnon developed a customized ATEX-compliant solution. The winches and lifting systems from Pfaff-silberblau meet the strict requirements of ATEX Directives 94/9/EC and 99/92/EC, ensuring safe and compliant operation in explosive environments.

BIOGAS

Pfaff-silberblau winches are the ideal solution for use in biogas plants. Thanks to their robust design and reliable performance, they ensure efficient operation even under the demanding conditions inside fermenters.

OVERHEAD LINE CONSTRUCTION

The YaleERGO360® UT is our safest ratchet lever hoist, equipped with a patented safety locking system. In this application, the lever hoist was used for tensioning conductor cables before installing the insulators — ensuring maximum safety and precision during setup.

WIND TURBINES

Our MERKUR series provides the ideal solution for opening and closing maintenance hatches on wind turbines — safely and reliably, even in stormy weather conditions.
