Jacking systems

Over the years, ALE has operated a number of jacking systems including strand jacks, which provide a cost-effective lifting and pulling solution for the fabrication and load-out of offshore jackets, platforms and modules. Our range of strand jacks varies from 15te to 900te capacity per jack. More recently, we developed the 40,000 tonne capacity Mega Jack system which enables jacking of large structures from a low elevation up to 30 metres. Although designed to assist with the onshore fabrication of increasingly large and heavy topside platforms for the offshore industry, its versatility means there is great potential for its use in other market sectors as well. The Mega Jack has both heavy and light jacking modes, and its modular set-up makes it suitable for a wide range of applications. A key difference between it and traditional jacking systems is that during normal jacking operations, the jacks remain at ground level and the steel jacking beams rise by each jacking step. This way all operations are performed at ground level and working at height is kept to an absolute minimum.
