Question 1

How is the cap lifting device installed on a PV271 drill?

Accepted Answer

The device is installed onto the receiver tank using side brackets, straps, and lifting brackets. A pre-assembled structure is positioned using a crane and secured through existing tank support locations with supplied fasteners.

Question 2

What is required to install the cap lifting device?

Accepted Answer

Installation requires a minimum of 2 personnel, basic workshop tooling, lifting equipment such as a crane, sling and shackle, standard PPE, and compliance with site procedures.

Question 3

Does installation require modifications to the drill?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, the device installs onto existing structures. However, minor alignment adjustments may be required, such as repositioning eyebolts or adjusting tank orientation to achieve correct fitment.

Question 4

How does the cap lifting device operate?

Accepted Answer

The device uses a foot-operated lifting jack connected to a vertical shaft and lifting arm. The system raises the lid in a controlled vertical motion, allows safe manual rotation, and then lowers it back into position without manual lifting of the lid.

Question 5

How much weight does the device handle?

Accepted Answer

The device is designed to safely assist with lifting compressor tank lids weighing more than 100 kilograms, reducing manual handling risks for operators.

Question 6

Does the device eliminate manual lifting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The cap lifting device is designed to remove the need for operators to manually lift the compressor cylinder cap, improving safety and reducing manual handling exposure.

Question 7

Are there any safety requirements when operating the device?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Operators should follow site isolation procedures, use appropriate PPE, keep clear of pinch points and crushing hazards, avoid standing under suspended loads, and operate the device from the correct position.

Question 8

What happens if the tank lid is stuck or bonded?

Accepted Answer

In some operating conditions, heat can cause the gasket between the tank and lid to bond them together. If required, a pry bar can be used to break the seal before operating the cap lifting device.

Question 9

Does the device require maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The cap lifting device requires periodic lubrication. Recommended relubrication is once every 4400 hours or every 6 months, using Shell Gadus S3 V220C grease or equivalent.

Question 10

Can the device be installed on all PV271 drills?

Accepted Answer

The device is designed specifically for Epiroc PV271 drills, based on an installed PV271 RCS5 configuration. Minor variations between individual machines may require small alignment adjustments during installation.

Question 11

Can NBS customise this solution for other drill models?

Accepted Answer

Yes. NBS can engineer similar lifting solutions for other drill models, configurations, and site-specific requirements.
