Nuclear Polar Cranes
For decades, PAR Systems has designed, implemented, and serviced specialty cranes for the nuclear industry. That expertise includes the design and installation of large polar cranes.
At PAR, we are experts in lifting and transporting extremely heavy loads to the most stringent compliance standards. We have over 60 years of experience designing and implementing high-performing cranes and equipment for the nuclear industry.
Our expertise shapes the installation of polar cranes for nuclear plants, incorporating multifunctionality that enables them to perform extremely heavy lifts with precision.
What are polar cranes?
Polar cranes are used in nuclear plants for the assembly and disassembly of reactor vessels during refueling operations. These cranes can be used for multiple tasks, and are made up of a main hoist and auxiliary hoist.
They operate on a large circular runway in the containment and/or reactor building. Their multipurpose function combined with their reliable performance make them an ideal choice for nuclear applications, where operating conditions and requirements are incredibly demanding.
