Case Study
Twin Hoists for Hollow Core Slab Lifting
CASE STUDY United Precast Concrete (UPC) is one of the factories behind the flow of building materials that are central to construction projects in the Middle East. With factories in Bahrain, Qatar, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, UPC produces precast concrete elements such as hollow core slabs, foundations, columns, beams and wall panels. For their production facilities in United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi and Dubai), UPC sought quality lifting equipment to support a reliable production process. AROUND-THE-CLOCK HEAVY LIFTING United Precast Concrete's production process relies heavily on overhead cranes to lift precast elements of varying sizes during 24-hour operating days. Heavy parts like hollow core slabs with spans of up to 21 meters have to be lifted and transported safely. DUAL-HOIST SYNCHR
