Hi-Jack System™
Installation of MW class turbines is often hindered by the excessive costs of large cranes. For small farms and difficult locations, mobilization/demobilization efforts can exceed 10% of project costs. Further, in remote locations, the scarcity of crawler cranes for major component repair exposes projects to unacceptable economic risk. The Hi-Jack™ is rapidly deployable anywhere in the world with minimal effort at a cost that is easy on the budget. In fact, the Hi-Jack™ System is so cost effective, that project owners are keeping Hi-Jack™ Systems on wind farm sites as a convenient maintenance risk mitigator.
The Advantages of the Hi-Jack™ System
• Small and remote wind farms are now financially feasible due to an 80% reduction in crane mobilization costs for erection and maintenance.
• Difficult sites requiring multiple crane teardowns will no longer reduce project margin points. The Hi-Jack™ System is transported between turbines on standard flatbed trucks, and due to its small size typically is moved in an assembled state.
• Taller towers are no longer tied to crane capacity. The Hi-Jack™ System erects 100m tower and turbine systems as easily as 80m. Combined with the economics of the Space Frame tower, 100m height revenue gains are now financially justified.
• Turbine heavy-maintenance lifting expenses are reduced over 50% per incident. It no longer makes sense to idle turbines and lose revenue while waiting for multiple failures to justify high crane deployment costs.
The Hi-Jack™ System is no Lightweight
Although nimble, light, and shipped with ease, the Hi-Jack™ System is no lightweight. Capable of lifting the heaviest 1 to 2.5 MW turbines, the Hi-Jack™ is ready today. With double redundant safety systems, the Hi-Jack™ provides the convenience and safety you’ve long awaited.
