ABS type approval
Model IBC-1 holds ABS Confirmation of Product Type Approval (Tier 3) for offshore on-board lifting of IBCs, FIBCs and pallets. The Product Design Assessment (24-2511006-PDA) is valid to March 16th, 2029, and the Manufacturing Assessment and Product Quality Assurance are valid to July 1st, 2030. Each unit requires ABS unit certification.
BPC Multi-Purpose Offshore Bulk Lifter
The BPC Bulk Offshore Lifter is a multi-purpose lifting device designed specifically for safe handling of:
The unique design incorporates the concept of “full load containment” for both IBCs and FIBCs. The IBC design protects against potential lateral loading when transporting fluids in totes by having the lift frame swallow the load encapsulating the IBC tote. In FIBC Mode, the lifting frame is designed to allow usage of a simple cargo net that enables dropped object protection in the event FIBC bag handles were to break.
- Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC)
- Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC)
- Palleted Loads
Key Design Features
- The upper lift frame is lowered down over the IBC tote to contain the load and mitigate risk of lateral loads resulting from sloshing fluids.
- Vertical slings sets are suspended from weld-on excavator hooks designed for easy on easy off to switch between lifting modes.
- Vertical sling sets with locking hooks are easy to inspect in the field and easily replaced if damaged.
- Multiple lengths are available to easily switch between IBC lifting and Pallet lifting.
- Weld-on excavator hooks are facing inward to protect the hook from damage during lifting activities in the offshore environment.
- Integrated “green” handles for safe hand placement if a load needs to be manipulated.
- Multiple size Cargo Nets are available to best match the various FIBC sizes on the market.
- Rigging available in both Crosby and Van Beest options based on customer preference.
