TRAVELLING MONORAIL HOIST SYSTEMS

Houlder and Crane manufacturer Street CraneXpress (SCX) are upgrading the vehicle deck travelling monorail hoist systems onboard HM Ships Bulwark and Albion – the 18,500t Landing Platform Dock ships that form part of the Royal Navy’s amphibious assault force. Houlder is upgrading the vessels capability to safely lift, manoeuvre and quickly load equipment throughout the ships’ internal vehicle deck through the design, manufacture and supply of electric traveling monorail hoists. The hoists have twin ratings of 6t SWL for general loads and 4.5t SWL for handling ammunition at sea. Importantly, the hoisting systems will also be compliant with Joint Service Publication (JSP) 467 for Power Driven Lifting Appliances used for Handling Conventional and Nuclear Armaments. Houlder are the only supplier of JSP 467 compliant cranes to the MoD.
