  • Page 34 USING THE TOWER AS A MECHANISM. The tower behaves like a machine when lifting a load making use of the winch as a lifting element. In this case all the parts of the tower behave like a mechanism that uses pulleys, cables and guides to be able to execute the elevation of a load at a certain height.

  • Page 35: Dynamic Overlap

    DYNAMIC OVERLAP Thanks to the continuous development of new solutions for the lifting towers, FANTEK Industrial, has developed and patented an ingenious solution that increases the resistance of the towers and reduces the deflection of these. Dynamic Overlap makes each tower section overlap with the previous one at different distances.

    On the one hand, lifting towers adopt designs and materials to achieve a high degree of safety in quantities such as supported load, equilibrium, resistance to friction, etc. Thus FANTEK Industrial lifter towers DGUV V17/18 certified assure the user that they have passed strict controls during design, choice of materials or load checks and effort.
