Heavy Industry/Crane Control Background Information: HSLT CraneHydraulic Synchronizing Lifting Technique (HSLT) Frame Crane Designed for Oversize ComponentsFrom a report by Tongi University, Shanghai Engineering Technology Research Center of Construction RoboticsIn 2002, Data-Linc wireless Ethernet modems were selected to provide a reliable, cost-effective data communication solution for an oversized component shipbuilding application. Data needed to be transferred between two central monitoring/control stations and the new-concept HSLT (Hydraulic Synchronizing Lifting Technique) frame crane. The greatest challenge was to send and receive data in spite of electric sparking and RF interference. In addition to overcoming the inherent and imposed interference, the installation required error-free continuous operation 24 hours a day for five successive days at a time. (See application note and diagram.) Below is background information on the HSLT technology from a report and photographs provided by Tongi University, Shanghai. Hydraulic Synchronizing Lifting Technique features and benefits
HSLT Technology
The key to the Hydraulic Synchronizing Lifting Technique is a set of hydraulic equipment comprised of a load-supporting system (flexible strands or rigid rods) hydraulic riggers, a sensor measuring system, a computer control system and an electro-hydraulic servo-system. This equipment (integrated by Mechanism Electronics, Hydraulics, Sensor, Computer and Control Theory) automatically executes the various functions and operations, such as lifting or lowering synchronization, uniform load distribution, position-verification, stress-control, anti-error-operation, parameter-display and fault-warning. High profile projects utilize HSLT frame craneThe Hydraulic Synchronizing Lifting Technique frame crane has been used in a number of high profile projects in China: |

A Hydraulic Synchronizing Lifting Technique crane was used in the Shanghai Oriental Pearl Broadcasting and TV Tower project where the steel antenna was lifted in its entirety to a height of 350m on four lifting points by 20 500KN jacks and 120 steel strands. The antenna mast has a height of 118m and weighs 450 tons (April 1994). | ![]() |

In Beijing, the completed steel arch over the main gateway of Beijing Western Railway Station was lifted to a height of 43.5m on eight lifting points by sixteen 2000KN jacks, eight 500KN jacks and 336 steel strands using an HSLT frane crane. The arch is 45m long, 28.5m wide and weighs 1800 tons (December 1994). | |||
The steel frame of a Shanghai theater was also constructed using an HSLT crane. The entire steel roof structure of Shanghais Great Theater was lifted to the height of 26.5m on four lifting points by forty-four 2200KN jacks and 792 steel strands. The structure is 100 meters long, 90 meters wide, and weighs 6075 tons (July 1996). | ![]() |

Two 600 ton gantry cranes of Shanghai Waigaoqiao Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. were both lifted and installed by an HSLT frame crane with the rigid legs and flexible legs providing two bearing points. The topmost level, rail width, and weight of the main girder are respectively 86 m, 185m (155m) and 2900 ton (2200 tons). The rigid leg was used as command lift point, while the flexible leg provided the following lift point and was reinforced by two 2000KN jacks and guy ropes. The main girder was lifted synchronously by twenty 2000KN jacks (In cooperation with Shanghai Port Machine plant in June and November 2001). | ||

An HSLT crane also managed the placement of the steel roof of a four-bay airplane hangar at Capitol Airport and the construction of Shi Tong Kou Power Plant with an installation of six 240m steel funnels. | ||
The dismantling and installation of Baosteel Group Corporations two converters were successfully carried out by a Hydraulic Synchronizing Lifting Technique frame crane. The replacement of the two converters, which weigh 300 tons, involved pre-spreading, incising, synchronizing continuous descent, overturning, synchronizing continuous lifting and joining (In cooperation with Sjamgjao Baosteel Metallurgy Construction Corporation, August, 2000 and March 2001). | ![]() |

ConclusionIn China, the Hydraulic Synchronizing Lifting Technique crane has received formal recognition for scientific and technical progress in the form of prestigious awards from Shanghai Administration, The State Education Committee, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Mechanical Engineering , The Shanghai Administration Office for New High Technical Achievement Projects, as well as others. The Hydraulic Synchronizing Lifting Technique frame crane, which is a part of the National Hi-tech Research and Development Program of China (863 Program) handles oversized components in dismantling, building and construction projects with relative ease. The hi-tech HSLT crane provides numerous features to meet the various functions and challenging operations in this industry of mega-giants. |
