Case study
Lifting solutions for photovoltaic ground-mounted systems
Our sister company Traction Levage supported a customer operating in the renewable energy sector who was involved in the construction of a ground-mounted solar farm.
Challenge – Technical and Safety-Critical Requirements
The customer was faced with the demanding task of installing the load-bearing frames in a single, synchronized lifting operation. The key priorities were:
-
Structural stability
-
Occupational safety
-
Precision during lifting
In addition, the work was further complicated by the basic site conditions in an open outdoor environment, where only a limited range of lifting aids and support equipment was available.
As a result, a robust, flexible, and easy-to-deploy lifting solution was required.
Solution – Use of the POWERTEX PAPH-S1 Aluminium Wire Rope Hoist
To carry out the lifting operations, the POWERTEX PAPH-S1 aluminium wire rope hoist was deployed. This lifting device proved to be a key success factor for the project.
Key features and benefits:
Flexibility
Easy rigging options on load-bearing frames and at various attachment points
Operational comfort & precision
Smooth and synchronized lifting operation
Lightweight design
Low dead weight for easy transportation and flexible positioning on site
