In wastewater treatment plants, maintenance is critical to minimize downtime and ensure safety. Jib cranes are essential for handling submersible pumps and mixers efficiently.
Jib cranes help safely lift submersible wastewater pumps and mixers from tight spaces. They reduce manual handling, improve safety, and save time. Davit cranes in wastewater treatment plants are essential for lifting and lowering submersible wastewater pumps, , choppers, motors, mixers and various equipment parts. They support a wide range of routine maintenance and repair operations, including filter replacement, equipment cleaning, and valve servicing.
Submersible pumps and mixers can weigh anywhere from under 100 kg to over 1,000 kg. Ensure the crane has a safe working load that covers your heaviest equipment with an added safety margin. Goliath's submersible pump lifting solutions offer load capacity of 150kg, 200kg, 300kg and 500kg.
Depending on your preference, you can choose a coated, galvanised or stainless steel crane. Stainless steel offers the best protection. Make sure to choose 316L as this offers the best protection, 304 stainless steel will corrode over time as well. Goliath cranes are made fully out of 316L stainless steel.
Ensure the boom length and swing range cover your working area, including pits and wells.
The chosen material will have the greatest impact on the costs associated to your purchase. Stainless steel ist the most expensive, whereas a galvanised davit crane is the most economical version. Goliath davit cranes offers you multiple options for your winch, allowing you to choose cost-efficient or premium winch solutions depending on your needs, making the Goliath davit cranes the most economical crane on the market.
Due to our cranes modular design, these can fit on a standard europallet, keeping shipping costs to a minimum. Larger orders and cranes are shipped free of charge within Europe.
The choosen foot also has an impact on cost. Embedded foot solutions have higher installation costs than floor and wall mounted setups that are simply bolted to the floor / wall.
If you’re unsure how the wastewater crane system will be used—such as when maintenance on your wastewater pump may be performed by an external company—it’s important to choose a flexible solution. Goliath’s in-house developed pulley system lets you operate the crane with the supplied winch or with a manual or electric hoist.
Additionally, select a supplier that provides easy access to spare parts for all components, including tubes, winches, and cables. This ensures quick and efficient replacements when needed. Goliath offers you a full range of spare parts for all davit cranes.
