Engineered Rigging adds 500-ton gantry to fleet

Engineered Rigging has expanded its heavy lifting equipment rental fleet with an additional Enerpac SBL500 hydraulic gantry. The SBL500 facilitates infrastructure projects at ports, railways, power and industrial plants – basically any civil or commercial construction application where traditional cranes will not fit and overhead cranes are not an option, the company said.

To enhance safety, trained technicians can remotely operate the lifting towers – either independently or as a group of two, three or four towers – wirelessly with the Intelli-Lift control system or, if site conditions dictate, via a control cable.

The 500-ton capacity hydraulic gantry features four legs with internal three-stage double-acting hydraulic cylinders, octagonal boom design for added strength, fixed boom and self-propelled steel wheels for travel on skid tracks. Each lifting tower is also equipped with a counter balance valve, stroke sensor and pressure transducers for use with the Intelli-Lift Wireless Control System.

“The addition of another 500-ton hydraulic gantry, the Enerpac SBL500, to our rental fleet demonstrates our commitment to providing customers with heavy lifting solutions for their biggest jobs,” said Christopher E. Cox, P.E., founder and president, Engineered Rigging. “We expect bidding on large infrastructure projects to increase in 2024, and we stand ready to assist customers with equipment rentals.”
