Customer Specification
A customer undertaking a complex caisson destruct operation required a reliable heavy-lifting air hoist hire solution to support the safe and accurate lowering of internal lifting tools through a deck hatch. The lift involved high-capacity lifting equipment and built-in contingency to avoid downtime.
The specification called for the hire of two 60 tonne pneumatic hoists with a 15 metre height of lift, along with a third unit prepared to the customer’s requirements. This unit was kept on standby with a longer height of lift of 29.5 metres in case the project requirements were to shift during operations. This was to ensure seamless continuity should any issues arise.
Air Hoist Hire Solution
Red Rooster Lifting supplied and prepared two 60 tonne air hoists for the operation. The hoists were deployed to manoeuvre and lower the internal lifting tools through the deck hatch with controlled precision.
To strengthen operational continuity, a fully prepped standby hoist was made available on site. This proactive approach allowed for immediate equipment change-out if required, helping the customer maintain schedule integrity throughout the lift.
Equipment Purpose
The pneumatic hoists were used to:
- Lower and position two internal lifting tools into their final location within the caisson.
- Hold the lifting tools securely in place during the destruct phase of the operation.
This arrangement enabled accurate load handling and ensured the lifting tools were safely supported throughout the critical phase of work.
