Vertical Lifting Wedge, 16 Ton, 0.83" Lifting Height
Enerpac LW Series hydraulic vertical lifting wedges provide a convenient way to lift large, heavy objects for which floor clearance is limited.
It features a built-in single-acting hydraulic cylinder and is powered by an external hydraulic pump (user-supplied).
The minimum access gap (clearance between floor and bottom edge of object) is only 0.39 inches [10 mm] for each LW Series model.
The maximum lifting capacity is 16 tons [157 kN]. For the LW-16, optional Enerpac AM Series split-flow manifolds allow either 2 or 4 wedges to be used simultaneously to lift 32 or 64 tons [314 or 628 kN] respectively.
The lifting jaw surface of the wedge contains a series of steps. Any of the steps can be used to support the tool's full rated load.
The unique interlocking wedge design of the LW Series helps reduce the possibility of the wedge slipping out from under the load and also helps prevent the bending of the wedge's first step.
The built-in return spring automatically retracts the wedge when hydraulic pressure is relieved.
