Towers
The PHOENIX repair system is equipped with pulling towers
that can be positioned 360 degrees around the machine.
The system can accommodate up to two additional towers.
All towers feature telescoping heads, adjustable collars,
and a unique roller assembly that not only secures the
tower to the bottom of the machine but also allows for 360
degree movement around the machine.
Also unique to this system are the “Sure-Lock” force
clamps that secure towers to circular pinning holes along
the outer edge of the mainframe. The force clamps secure
towers to the mainframe while removing stress from the
roller assemblies.
Tower pulls can be set up quickly and are controlled by a
hand-held pendant, which controls the flow of hydraulic
pressure, and individual tower valves which control the
flow of oil to each tower. Lateral and elevated pulling angles
can be made or changed in just a fraction of a minute.
CAUTION:
The 1/2 inch (13mm) tower chain
has a WLL: 20,000 lbs. (89kN).
To Operate Towers
1. Step on “Sure-Lock” release handle to unlock
“Sure-Lock” force clamp from mainframe,
