INDUSTRIAL LIFTS FOR POWER PLANTS

Every power plant is striving towards:

• Increasing plant output
• Improving efficiency
• Increasing availability
• Reducing operating costs to a minimum

It is of paramount importance to identify potential sources of failure to provide preventive maintenance and – should an unplanned production stop occur – being able to quickly respond to the failure.

To install a lift is often the least expensive way to decrease downtime. ALIMAK's industrial lifts are reliable, efficient, durable and offer a low cost of ownership.

ALIMAK RACK AND PINION DRIVE SYSTEM

The ALIMAK Rack and Pinion drive system offers a number of advantages over wire rope and hydraulic lifts that can be translated into substantial economic benefits. They are designed for demanding industrial environments. No expensive machine room is required as the lift carries its own machinery and no load bearing lift shaft is required. Installations can be inside or outside buildings and also on curved or inclined surfaces.

The lifts can easily be retrofitted to existing structures and have a very narrow and streamlined profile, which is invaluable where space is at a premium. A simple drive principle means easier maintenance and lower service costs and there is practically no restriction in lifting height. The car can be brought down by gravity at controlled speed in the event of a power failure.
