World’s biggest construction hoist is a Mammoth solution
28 September 2022Alimak, which designs and manufactures vertical access solutions for the industrial and construction industries, has laid claim to producing the world’s largest construction hoist.
The Alimak Mammoth can carry up to 5,500kg of material, including bulky materials and ready-made constructions such as large, prefabricated pods and external cladding panels, although the company says it can also be put to use in the oil and gas industry or even in mining.
The range comes in car sizes of 3m and 3.5m wide. Both widths are available with 4.6m and 5.0m lengths.
The hoist is a twin-masted system that offers a stable platform for multiple payloads and can be outfitted with additional construction hoists from the Alimak Scando 650 range to achieve a triplex vertical access system. This configuration enables the higher-speed hoists to transport passengers while the Mammoth transports materials separately.
Other key features include a customisable lifting height and capacity and a safety device brake.
