Alternative heavy-lift services for the offshore industry
Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift & Shift is a leader in providing innovative solutions to lift and shift tasks. It is recognised that traditional methods may not be the most efficient in certain situations and alternative approaches may be required to achieve the desired result. Often, these solutions translate to considerable savings in both cost and time for customers.
Modular hydraulic jacking system
One of the alternative methods available is the 1,100t capacity modular hydraulic jacking system (MHJS). This system is the latest technology in gantry lifters and offers the following features:

1,100t maximum capacity
Up to 400t to a lift height of approximately 12m
Powered side shifters for maximum placement accuracy
Fail-safe hydraulic systems
Fully automated electronic control systems with load read outs
Supreme level adjustment and automatic compensation
Half-day set-up for most jobs

Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift & Shift can also offer jacking and skidding solutions with capacity in excess of 1,000t.
Self-propelled transporters
Out of the over 250 axle lines of hydraulic platform trailers that Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift & Shift operates, 126 lines can be configured into self-propelled mode. These trailers are commonly referred to as self-propelled transporters or SPTs. The fleet operated by Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift & Shift currently has a combined capacity in excess of 4,000t technical capacity.
The trend towards modularisation during fabrication and construction is increasing in major industry. With the ability to offer SPTs, Tutt Bryant Heavy Lift & Shift is well-placed to assist in the handling of these larger and heavier types of modules or equipment.
The propelled axles in the SPTs are fully motorised to provide tractive movement in any direction. The motorised units also overcome the requirement for ballasted heavy-duty prime movers, thus improving overall safety, manoeuvrability and flexibility while reducing the need for complex coordination.
