I was going through a project recently where they had to lift an absorber tank weighing around 300 tons for an FGD system, and honestly, it’s not as simple as just lifting it.

They use hydraulic jacks, but the interesting part is how slow and controlled the whole process is. The tank isn’t lifted in one go it’s raised little by little, making sure everything stays balanced. Even a small tilt could cause problems, so the team keeps checking alignment and load at every step.

Tank lifting hydraulic jacks rated at 12-MT under dynamic load are designed to handle real-world conditions where the load isn’t perfectly static—like slight shifts, wind effects, or uneven distribution during tank erection. The “dynamic load test” part basically means the system has been proven to perform safely even when forces change during operation.

In practical terms, these jacks are used in tank jacking methods, where the structure is lifted in stages so new shell courses can be added from ground level. This reduces work at height and improves consistency in welding and alignment.

Overall, the key value isn’t just lifting capacity—it’s controlled, stable movement under changing loads, which is critical for large storage tank projects.
