RC Hydraulic Systems

We at RC Hydraulic Systems have designed a hyraulic jacking system for the large grain tanks and silos that are being built today. We can build the largest size projects on the market today including the 105's, 135's and the new 156's. We can do this safely and quickly.

Our jacks are built for stability even under conditions that will stop most other jacks from operating. They are mounted securely to the floor and using the massive cylinder as a beam, will support the structure even in high wind loads.

Each jack has it's own 24 volt power supply, hydraulic pump, reservoir, computer and radio. They are all linked to a central computer that controls all aspects of the jacking operation. There are no hoses or electrical cables connecting the jacks. Everything is done via a wireless controller.

Each jack is capable of lifting 30,000 pounds which allows less jacks to raise a tank. That coupled with a large 4 1/2 inch clearance from the tank wall gives the workers plenty of extra room to quickly insert sheets.

In operation, the Jacks are attached to the wall, the computer automatically loads the jacks, then lifts the structure holding tolerances within 1/16 of an inch. The jacks fold back from the wall during retraction.

This system raises a 32" sheet in 5 minutes.
