General Information

1.5. Liability

In the risk analysis conducted by Enerpac, intended usage and reasonably
foreseeable incorrect usage of the SBL portal lift system were assessed. The
instructions in this manual came into being based upon this analysis.

It is expected of the user of the SBL portal lift system that he or she has read and
understood this manual.

In cases of doubt about the use or application of this machine, always make contact
with Enerpac for advice and recommendations.

Unauthorised alterations to the machine may have a deleterious effect on the
characteristics of the machine and may disrupt the control functions. Unauthorised
alterations therefore annul any resultant damage claims against the manufacturer.

1.5.1. Limitations of liability:

We accept no liability whatsoever:

- for damage as a result of this equipment;

- to objects and third party equipment;

- to vehicles;

- for personal injury.

1.6. Appropriate use

The SBL1100 hydraulic portal lift is a four point lifting system. All four units must
always be used when lifting or transferring various objects. The centre of gravity
(C.O.G.) of the load must always remain within the four feet and under the header
beam.

The machine has been designed to be controlled using the associated Intellilift
remote control. Using this, the user can and must remain outside the range of the
machine while working with it.

Additional possible applications for the machine with the associated warnings are to
be found in Chapter 8, “special applications”.

The machine must not be used in potentially explosive environments.

1.7. Application limits

The application limits for the capacity, lifting height, skew, wind and environmental
influences are the maxima either calculated or tested by the manufacturer. During
practical applications, you must bear in mind that, through influences these
characteristics may exercise on each other, they may reinforce each other, and must
then be appropriately altered. Enerpac can advise you on this point.

used because they may lock up.

1.8. The basic principle

Each lifting unit consists of a basic frame with its own drive and octagonal telescopic
masts. In each telescopic mast there is an extending hydraulic ram.

The internal propulsive force is provided by a hydraulically driven roller track system.
This reduces the basic loading in comparison with conventional wheels. Moreover, the
resistance when bridging rail systems is reduced. It is impossible for wheels to slip
through!

One of the unique characteristics of the SBL1100 portal lift is the integration of the
power source into the basic frame. In contrast to conventional systems, this means
no separate power source and no hoses or data cables between power source and
units.

The beams across the top of the units create a portal.
The load is affixed to the beam by means of a side shift module or lifting anchor.

1.9. General Specifications

Each separate unit has a load carrying capacity of 2,670 kN.
The exact permissible loading is described in detail in Chapter 3.
The hydraulic pumps have a fixed stroke capacity. The machine's speed is variable
thanks to the built-in frequency controller.

Specification of the power source:

Voltage.......................................................................... :360 to 480 V AC/ 3-phase

Current.......................................................................... :16 A per unit

Safety

2. Safety

Points that must be followed are covered not only in this chapter; in other chapters
too there are specific safety directions that must be read and followed.

It is very important to inspect the condition of the SBL system before every individual
start-up, given the fact that the slightest defect may have disastrous, and in some
cases fatal, consequences.

Keep your equipment clean. Badly maintained equipment can cause time wastage
and lead to permanent damage to the equipment and/or it surroundings.

Do not use equipment, whether loaded or not, while people are in the vicinity of the
equipment or object. The SBL series has been designed for used without manpower
inside the range of the portal lift, and must be operated according to the instructions.

Only operate the SBL system if you have been certified by Enerpac as an authorised
operator.

Only use original Enerpac spares to repair machine faults.

Maintain concentration during the work. Carelessness may result in serious injuries to
others, and possibly even death.

Additional lifting gear and accessories such as hawsers, shackles etc. must comply
with the legal requirements imposed in the country of use.

Enerpac is not liable for improper use of such accessories in combination with the SBL
system.

Adhere to the checklists during all work activities: during
preparation for the lifting operation, system construction, and for
lifting the load.
Failure to adhere to the checklists may result in serious injury to
the user, possibly even death.

Safety

2.1. Mandatory protective gear while working with or on the system

Ensure that you and other people in the vicinity and during the operation of the portal
lift wear a safety helmet and that the applicable safety regulations are observed.
Wear safety footwear, safety goggles, and, when not using the remote control, safety
gloves*.

*We strongly advise against wearing safety gloves while using the Intellilift remote
control.

Preparation for a lifting operation

3. Preparation for a lifting operation

In this chapter, the essential preparations for a lifting preparation are
comprehensively described.
Before this preparation can be started, certain information must be known:

• Mass of the load.

• Centre of gravity of the load.

• Dimensions of the load.

• Maximum lifting height.

• Allowable pressure on the subsoil before subsidence happens.

First, the position of the load’s centre of gravity within the units should be
determined. Then the maximum lifting height is determined.

Thereafter, it is checked whether the following details are adequate:

• Lifting capacity of the most heavily loaded unit.

• Capacity of the side shift.

• Capacity of the header beams.

• Load capacity of the subsoil.

Finally, the maximum acceptable wind speed should be calculated.

This preparation results in:
A checklist for use while setting up the machine.
A checklist the operator must follow during use of the machine.

It is of the utmost importance to read this whole chapter
carefully before setting up the machine.

Failure to prepare correctly for a lifting operation may
result in total loss of machine stability during use.

3.1. Lifting capacity of the units

Determine the maximum for the lifting height needed for your lifting operation.

3.1.1. Maximum load

The portal lift system comprises four units. Given the fact that each unit is
provided with a telescopic hydraulic ram, the capacity varies according to the
phase. The working pressure for each step is around 350 bar. This results in the
following lifting capacities:

st

1

stage: 2670 kN, → lifting height: 0 mm to 2934 mm

nd

2

stage: 1750 kN, → lifting height 2934 mm to 5698 mm

nd

3

stage: 1000 kN, → lifting height: 5698 mm to 7632 mm

Theoretically, this means that the maximum loading is
this is only applicable if the load is evenly distributed over the portal lift. In other
words, if the centre of gravity is positioned in such a way that each lifting units
carries exactly the same load. This is naturally a situation that never arises in
practice. In order to prevent overloading of the portal lift, the loading table must
be used.

Dimensions of the units, beams, side shift, and skid tracks.
may be found in Appendix D to G.
This information can be used to determine the required lifting
height.

to the portal lift.

The coloured cells in the load chart correspond to the
lifting units in the figure

Page 15

The stability of the system is such that if the COG is positioned in
the centre of the machine, then any movement of the COG out of
the ideal centre will result in reduced stability of the overall
system.

The table on the next page should always be used before and
during side-shift operations.
During this kind of work, the load's centre of gravity (COG) shifts
from one point to another. After this kind of shift, one or two
units will bear more of the load, and the other two will bear less
of it. In order to ensure that the maximum permissible load is
not exceeded for any of the units, it is necessary to consult the
table before each operation.

Use the load chart to fill the maximum force per unit occurring
during the lifting operation into checklist A

(Only for the unit under the heaviest load)

This table must always be used for side shift operations. During this kind of work,
the load's centre of gravity (COG) shifts from one point to another. After this kind

less of it. In order to ensure that the maximum permissible load is not exceeded

3.1.2. Minimum load

Due to friction in the hydraulic cylinders, it is possible that the extension order of
the first and second step may not be followed properly, due to insufficient loading
of the units. In other words, the units also have a minimum lifting capacity. The
total minimum loading is 50 kN. In most cases, the header beams’ own weight is
sufficient.

3.2. Capacity of the Side shift or Lug

The force on each anchor point cannot under any circumstances be greater than
the capacity of the side shift unit or lug. The capacity of the side shift or lug is
indicated on the documentation provided on delivery.

Use the load chart to fill the minimum force per unit occurring
during the lifting operation into checklist A

(Only for the unit under the lightest load)

Always determine the force on each anchor point. Even for
relatively light loads. This can be done using a centre of gravity
calculation.

The preparer is expected to possess this skill. In case of doubt,

3.3. Capacity of the Header beam

The force on each anchor point may not in any case be greater than the capacity
of the header beam. The capacity of the header beams is shown in the beam load
chart.

3.4. Surface loading for full support of the skid tracks

If it is not possible to have the underside of the skid tracks 100% supported,
Azobé wood and steel plates must be installed under the skid track – see section

3.5.

The surface load is defined as follows: the load due to the weight exerted on the
subsoil by the guide rails.

in appendix A

If the following requirements cannot be met: then the skid tracks
must be set up using filler materials.
In this case, the force on the subsoil is determined in chapter

3.5. Surface load with filler material under the skid tracks

If it is necessary to use Azobé
wood under the rails to
compensate for unevenness in
the subsoil, or to create a lower
surface loading, then a number
of matters must be borne in
mind!

The points of attention are
dealt with in this chapter and in
the chapter “Explanations of
Methods”. The preparer must
also go through and
understand section 4.3.

Geometrical requirements for the Filler material:

Only use filler materials in accordance with section 4.3.2
Read section 4.3.2 before proceeding any further in this section.

Preparation for a lifting operation

3.6. Maximum permissible wind loading

Another factor that must be taken into account when lifting is the sidewards
loading. During activities in the open air, the wind exerts a certain force on the
object lifted by the portal, which directly results in a sidewards loading. The
permissible sidewards loading is dependent upon a number of factors, namely the
size of the object, the wind speed and the height of the top beams (lifting height).
This means that, before every lifting operation, it must be checked that the wind
does not present danger.

The maximum wind speed is calculated in accordance with a calculation form for
loads; this form can be found on the CD-ROM supplied. The form shows the
maximum permissible wind speed in both directions under different
circumstances.
Under no circumstances whatsoever may lifting operations be carried out when
the wind speed is greater than the values given on the form.

On the left, you will find an example
of a fully completed form:

Only certain parameters have to be
entered. Enter the dimensions
referred to as the outline dimensions
of the object. These are the x-y-z
dimensions of the outline of the
beams and load. The foot
dimensions of the portal lift are
already entered and cannot be
changed. Always start from the most
adverse situation.

Do not forget that the wind speed
and direction may change during
lifting.

When lifting, always assume a worst-case scenario. The wind can
be unpredictable, quickly changing speed and direction. Do not
take any chances: if the wind is strong, that means it's a 'no go'!

Fill the maximum permissible windspeed into the checklist in

4. Explanations of Methods

This chapter provides detailed information about putting the SBL1100 system into
use. The preparations to be made for the working location, the portal lift etc. are
described here.

4.1. Storage

In storing the SBL system, you should distinguish between temporary storage and
storage for a long period. If you intend to store the system for a longer period, a
dry and preferably closed space is recommended.

During short-term storage, especially in
the open air, cover the units with a
tarpaulin in order keep electrical and
other moisture-sensitive components dry.

During storage in the open air, cover the units with a tarpaulin in
order keep electrical and other moisture-sensitive components
dry.

If the stroke meter gets wet, its functioning may be impaired. So
pay special attention to the encoder box.

The tarpaulin is not included in the delivery, but can be added as
an option.

4.2. Handling

Each unit is fitted with four lifting eyes, as shown in the figure below:

Always use all four of the lifting eyes

The lower section of the base is provided with two lifting openings for a forklift
truck:

Lifting eyes can only be used when the mast is in retracted position (horizontal
position). Use of the forklift trucks is permitted in both positions. Please note that
when using the forklift truck with the mast in extended position, the centre of
gravity (COG) of the unit is considerably higher, and therefore less stable.

Explanations of Methods

In extended position, only use the fork openings

In this setup, it is possible to use both the lifting
eyes and the fork openings.

In order to prevent damage to the wheels, all movements, in any direction, must
be executed at a height of 300 mm off the ground.

In order to prevent damage to the wheels, all movements, in any
direction, must be executed at a minimum height of 300 mm off
the ground.

• The unit can only be moved if the telescopic cylinder is

fully retracted.

• Movement of the unit is not permitted with the top beams

mounted on the top plates.

for lifting trucks to move the units.

Hold the mast of the lifting truck upright.
Leaning it too far back may cause damage to the roller tracks.
