Repair in Place (RIP) Jacks

Repair in Place (RIP) jacks: Whiting Lifting Equipment 

The Whiting Hydraulic RIP/One-Spot Lifting System can be engineered and arranged to maximise the efficiency of the lifting application at your repair facility. The hydraulic jacks are equipped with ratchet-type safety devices in addition to standard hydraulic safety devices.

Installation can provide side jacks for lifting both ends of the wagon simultaneously resulting in faster throughput. The use of this equipment also leads to increased wagon utilization as the workflow in end of wagon operations, such as changing out draft gear, is now completed in a shorter time period.

Hydraulic In-Floor Jack Installations Include:

65-tonne Outside Jacks at each side for lifting wagon, bolster, and side frame for repacking, removal of the bogie, and repair of under rolling stock members.

135-ton Centre Jack for jacking under the centre sill of special wagons, which cannot be handled with outside jacks. This allows roller bearing, axle, and wheel assemblies to be removed, permitting repacking, spring replacement, etc.

Operator Control Console so the operator does not need to be close to the freight wagon during the repair operation.

Features:

Remote control

Operator’s safety

Great lifting capacity
