Bridges and Locks
PMR Hydraulics designs and constructs custom-made, complex hydraulic systems, including systems for bridges and locks. From design to delivery and aftercare, we are here for you. Because continuity is crucial, we use high-quality components. Preventive maintenance on hydraulic systems minimizes unplanned downtime. With regular inspections, we can quickly assess the condition of the system and identify any upcoming issues. You can also rely on us for the repair or revision of cylinders. Thanks to our fast service, we can achieve short lead times for repairs or modifications.
An example of our achievements is a project where we developed and supplied the drive including control on behalf of a well known bridge builder for a double-deck bridge in Canary Wharf, London. Our engineering department designed the system based on the requirements of the customer. Ultimatly a turn-key solution. The project included, among other things:
​
-
Total installed power: 2 x 22kW
-
Lifting cylinders (2 units installed): 275 tons each (2.7 Mega Newton)
-
Maximum power of hoisting cylinders (2 units installed): 30 tons each (295 KiloNewton)
-
Remote control
-
Self-correcting lifting movement using 4 inclinometers (digital spirit levels).
