POWER WORKS: ADVANCED HYDRAULIC LIFTING SOLUTIONS FOR MINING EQUIPMENT

In mining, where reliability, safety, and efficiency are crucial, Powerworks stands out as the leading provider of advanced hydraulic jacks. Powerworks offers a specialized range of lifting solutions, including our Powerlift, Hydralift, Yak, and Mammut models, each designed specifically to handle the demanding requirements of open cast haul trucks, articulated dump trucks, and underground mining equipment. Where low ground clearance poses a consistent challenge, Powerworks delivers dependable solutions engineered for the mining industry’s toughest tasks.

Built for Extreme Mining Conditions

Mining is a relentless industry, with equipment constantly exposed to challenging terrain, heavy loads, and severe conditions. Powerworks hydraulic jacks operate on a universally accepted air-over-oil system, designed to deliver smooth, reliable lifting power even under harsh conditions. Our jacks come in various configurations—single, multi-stage and low-profile, as well as electric-over-oil and petrol-over-oil models. Thus, ensuring they meet our customers’ specific requirements i.e. jacking points, closed heights and ground clearance of their mining equipment.

Constructed from high-quality materials, Powerworks jacks are built for durability and longevity. This resilience makes them ideal for mining environments, where durability translates into lower maintenance costs, reduced downtime, sustained performance, offering a greater return on investment.

Industry-Leading Tri-Safety Valve Technology

As safety is at the core of everything we do. Our hydraulic jacks are equipped with an innovative tri-safety valve system, which provides three layers of protection to ensure operator and equipment safety even in extreme situations. This tri-safety valve feature is essential for guarding against potential catastrophic failures caused by external forces, overstroking, or shock loading, which could otherwise compromise operator safety and equipment integrity.

In addition, Powerworks jacks controls are positioned away from the lifting points, ensuring operators maintain a safe distance from the load at all times. Eliminating the need for operators to crawl under heavy machinery, our jacks significantly reduce the risk of injury and enhance peace of mind during every lift.

Patented Hi/Lo Ground Clearance System for Ease of Operation

Powerworks jacks deliver ease of operations, assisting the smooth running of any workshop. All Powerlifts are fitted with our patented Hi/Lo ground clearance system, this feature optimizes positioning and manoeuvrability even under the lowest-clearance vehicles. This innovative system allows for single-person operation, reducing labour costs, saving time, and allowing quick repositioning for various types of mining equipment, with minimal effort.

This system is indispensable in mining environments where every second counts, ensuring faster setup and lifting times, along with better overall productivity.

Choose Powerworks for Proven Reliability and Performance

When you choose Powerworks, you’re investing in more than just a hydraulic jack; you’re choosing a trusted partner with 47 years experience in mining.
