Demountable crane

Project objective:

In this project, it was required to design and manufacture the hydraulic and control system of a jib crane used to maintain building roofs.

​

The system was to consist of a winch for the boom angle, a winch for lifting the cable, the hydraulic control system and the control itself. The system had to be completely disassembled and transportable by hand so that it could be brought to the roof by the building's elevators.

​

A wireless controller should also be able to control the system.

​

Main challenges:

• System modularity

• Minimize the weight of modules

• Ensure safe and gentle control
