SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TRANSPORTING A STRUCTURE

摘要

A system and method for lifting and moving a structure comprises at least two bolster assemblies configured to engage substantially opposing ends of the structure, a plurality of tensioned components extending between the bolster assemblies, applying a compressive force to clamp the bolster assemblies to the structure, and applying a lifting force to the bolster assemblies to lift the structure.

主权项

1. A lifting system, comprising:
at least two bolster assemblies each configured to engage a lower portion of a structure to be lifted, and substantially opposite one another; at least one tension component configured to span between the bolster assemblies adjacent a lower portion of each bolster assemblies in a tensioned condition; each bolster assembly comprising at least one attachment point configured to engage a lifting assembly; and a lifting assembly for each bolster assembly comprising at least one force actuator configured to apply a force to the bolster assembly, the applied force creating a compressive force between an upper portion of the bolster assembly and the lower portion of structure to be lifted and increasing the tensioned condition in the at least one tension component.
