So far I am thinking of four cylinders per each saddle with pinned end connection to relief rods from reaction moments (sketch attached but without accurate relative dimensions). Also for the hydraulic circuit I will add LHV (Load holding valve) with a directional valve to ensure safety and...

The task is to lift it 500 mm while transportaion on the SPMT so the task here is not picking it up.

Totally agree, clearly explained!

Hi Jrmichler, It is not a home work, it is an acutual adjustment to spmt (Self-propelled modular transporter) with two saddles lifting 1500 T wind turbine monopile. Thanks for the answer, it is unpractical idea but if cost was way less than hydraulics then I would try to go further with it.

Hi everyone, I am in concept phase of designing a lifting mean for 750 ton, I have many ideas using hydraulics which I could cost estimate online. However, one of the ideas is using rack and pinion combined with lead screw with its sizes determined from rough stress calculations. So, does...
