Hoisting Post and Platform Specifications

For best installation of submersible pumps or mixers, a guide-bar is available. Use guide-bar systems together with lifting equipment for easy access for inspection and service. The guide bar system or hoisting post is installable in open pits and tanks. Available in combination with miscellaneous mounting equipment to adapt to different installation situations. The guide bar with the lifting device is pivot-mounted and can be locked at the designated angular position. The Hoisting post is equipped with a self-impeding winch to lift up or lower down the pump or mixer. 

A concreted floor in the tank is mandatory. When the tank or pit is already in use and filled, it is possible to use a spike instead of a bottom bearing. 

A sufficient number of cable retainers (one retainer each 80cm) prevent the electric cable from getting into the rotating parts of the pump or mixer (impeller/propeller). 

Platforms and ladder to be mounted at the top edge are available for elevated tanks to ease the operation of the hoisting post. Advise is to remove the ladder when not used to hinder unauthorized access to the platform.
