Engineered for the safe reorientation of oversized cylindrical components, this 20-ton hydraulic upender provides a controlled 90-degree tilting solution for large-scale industrial fabrication. The system features a massive reinforced platform with an integrated V-groove, specifically designed to secure pressure pipes and vessels with diameters ranging from 2,500mm to 7,000mm. Driven by a high-torque 11kW power unit and quadruple hydraulic cylinders, it ensures exceptionally stable movement for extreme loads. This custom solution is essential for heavy manufacturing and energy infrastructure sectors where the precise and secure positioning of heavy-gauge steel structures is critical.

Pressure Vessel Fabrication: Facilitating the safe 90-degree reorientation of large-scale pressure vessels and tanks during welding, internal inspection, and assembly phases.
Energy Infrastructure Manufacturing: Essential for handling heavy-gauge pressure pipes used in nuclear, thermal, and hydropower projects, where diameters reach up to 7,000mm.
Heavy Machinery Production: Used for the orientation of large industrial cylinders, housings, and structural rings that require precise positioning for machining or painting.
Oil & Gas Pipeline Fabrication: Providing a stable tilting solution for thick-walled pipes during the installation of flanges, valves, or specialized coatings.
Large Boiler Manufacturing: Managing the vertical and horizontal movement of massive boiler shells and cylindrical components in high-capacity energy facilities.
Industrial Steel Mill Logistics: Efficiently flipping heavy-duty steel coils or large structural cylinders to facilitate downstream processing and storage.
For this heavy-duty series, we can engineer load capacities up to [300] tons, with platform dimensions and lifting heights customized to your operational envelope. Requirements exceeding our standard engineering matrix will undergo a Finite Element Analysis (FEA) by our engineering team to ensure structural viability before proposing a solution.
To initiate the engineering proposal, please provide the following baseline data:
Rated Load Capacity
Maximum Lifting Height & Closed Height
Platform Dimensions (L x W)
Duty Cycle (e.g., operational cycles per hour/day)
Environmental Conditions (e.g., indoor/outdoor, washdown, explosion-proof)
Pit depth or overhead clearance constraints
Yes. The control systems can be equipped with standard communication protocols (e.g., Profinet, Modbus, Ethernet/IP) utilizing [Siemens / Allen-Bradley / Omron] PLCs. This ensures seamless I/O signal synchronization with upstream/downstream conveyors, AGV/AMR units, and your central control room.
Every custom unit undergoes a mandatory Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) prior to dispatch. This includes continuous operational testing at 100% rated load, static overload testing at [120% / 125%] capacity, and the physical triggering of all mechanical anti-fall and hydraulic safety interlocks. FAT documentation and video proof are included in your engineering package.
Upon final approval of the General Arrangement (GA) drawings, the manufacturing lead time is typically 4 to 8 weeks. Oversized structural components are engineered with a modular design to fit into standard shipping containers (20FT/40HQ). On-site assembly utilizes pre-engineered bolted flange connections and heavy-duty aviation plugs, strictly eliminating the need for field welding.
We provide a standard [12/24]-month warranty covering the structural frame and primary hydraulic/electrical components. To minimize operational downtime, a comprehensive set of standard consumables (e.g., cylinder seal kits, travel switches, relays) is shipped alongside your equipment. During the warranty period, replacement parts for non-human-induced failures are dispatched via priority air freight (DHL/FedEx) within 48 hours.
Beyond the warranty, we guarantee lifetime engineering support. Your custom equipment's CAD drawings, electrical schematics, and BOM (Bill of Materials) are permanently archived in our system. This ensures you receive uninterrupted remote troubleshooting, maintenance guidance, and exact spare parts matching for the entire lifecycle of the equipment.
