HTC’s million dollar plus investment in the DURAPAC SYNCMASTER Syncronous Lifting System was prompted by the need for a sophisticated lifting solution to aid in the repair of earthquake damaged infrastructure in Christchurch and to revolutionise the way structures are lifted in New Zealand.

Following its initial use in a SCIRT/Fulton Hogan bridge-raising project to allow for the replacement of damaged abutments, the system has been in heavy demand. The variety of problems that can be solved by the Syncronous Lifting System, which allows for up to 4 power packs to be controlled by one master
unit giving up to 40 individually controlled cylinder lifting points, has even surprised the team at HTC.
