Case: The jack system slides the Holbrook Canal into the designated position.

Horizontal bridge slide method! I was able to complete the slide in 52 minutes!

Minimizing the time that State Route 266 is closed was a primary objective during the reconstruction of the bridge over the Holbrook Canal. The new bridge was initially used as a detour while the defective bridge was being demolished, and once the old bridge was taken down, the new bridge needed to be slid into position at the original bridge's location. To slide the new bridge into the designated position, a lateral bridge sliding method was employed. We provided a hydraulic solution that could push the new 44.5-foot bridge structure into the designated position using the lateral sliding method with PTFE slide elements. We supplied two "RR series double-acting hydraulic cylinders," each equipped with a unique "ZU series hydraulic pump" and integrated pendant control. The pendant control allowed the operator to maintain individual control and manage any shifts in the bridge structure between the abutments or recover from wedging. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
