Tank Jacking System for Oil Storage Tanks
For companies handling oil storage tank construction and maintenance globally, lifting tanks efficiently and safely is a critical task. Bygging offers specialized tank jacking equipment designed for lifting oil storage tanks efficiently, ensuring safety and long-term durability. This equipment supports operations such as new tank construction, foundation replacement, maintenance, and tank installation across industries including oil & gas terminals, refineries, chemical plants, and water storage facilities.
Understanding Tank Jacking Equipment
A Tank Jacking System is a set of mechanical devices used to lift and lower storage tanks in order to either build or undertake maintenance of the tank. Bygging provides a range of jacks tailored to different tank types:
- Double-acting and single-acting jacks – commonly used for API 650 tanks in oil, gas, and petrochemical storage. These jacks allow controlled lifting and lowering of heavy tanks.
- Strand jacks – used for lifting horizontal tanks, vessels, de-aerators, and steel flues for chimneys.
- Telescopic jacks – ideal for grain storage silos and bolted tanks.
- Retractable jacks – used in conjunction with automatic welding machines or electrogas welding machines during construction or repairs.
This variety ensures that Bygging's equipment can handle different tank designs and lifting requirements safely, without causing structural stress.
