Project Description
PROJECT DETAILS
How did SIT & sister company, Hydraquip, Inc. get involved with this project?
Our involvement began when a long-standing customer for whom we supplied hydraulic components expressed interest in upgrading their fleet to a more advanced Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) and Control Panel Unit (CPU). Recognizing the opportunity to deliver added value, we knew we could provide a complete turnkey solution to meet their needs.
What did SIT & Hydraquip, Inc. provide for this project?
We supplied a 60HP ATEX Zone 1-rated Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) along with a separate 12-function control panel.
Challenges and Outcomes:
This project required strict compliance with ATEX Zone 1 ratings and DNV approval, presenting a unique set of challenges. Additionally, the control panel was designed to integrate and consolidate two existing panels into a single streamlined unit.
To ensure alignment and success, we implemented multiple review checkpoints throughout the project. These checkpoints allowed us to gather customer input and confirm that all requirements were being met. This proactive approach prevented issues during Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) and field startup.
In the end, HYD and SIT delivered a fully compliant, turnkey solution that met the customer's expectations and elevated their operational capabilities.
