Enerpac range for A-to-Z solutions
Third Quarter 2019
Other technologies
Well-known for its power tools and compressor systems, Ingersoll Rand’s heavy lifting equipment is now also being introduced to South Africa by Mandirk Lifting, part of the Mandirk Group. Combined with its leading Enerpac brand, Mandirk Lifting can now offer clients in a diverse range of industries complete solutions based on the best brands and highest quality equipment to result in the lowest total cost of ownership.
“We are taking our two leading brands and combining them in complete A-to-Z solutions,” explains Mandirk Lifting GM, Jaco Vorster. Mandirk Lifting will focus initially on the Kinetic series of manual and lever hoists. These premium manual chain hoists are engineered for arduous environments, and deliver exceptional durability. The grade 100 electro-galvanised chain, cast hook latches, an all-steel construction, and extensive use of bearings all assist in minimising downtime. “We will also offer related lifting products from Ingersoll Rand such as electric hoists with motorised trolleys, pneumatic hoists, and spring balancers,” Vorster adds.
Enerpac has launched 14 products this year alone, from new products to upgrades. The former includes a new range of hydraulic cutters and pullers, as well as telescopic cylinders that can cope with a low collapse height and provide a lower base for a higher jacking point. Other new products include a 28 V battery power pack; and a new range of heavy lifting cylinders features a nitrous oxide coating for protection against rain to prevent rust and corrosion from compromising their integrity.
