Baudin Chateauneuf will replace hydraulic systems, press cylinders and accumulator cylinders in the Eiffel Tower’s west elevator, after being awarded a contract by SETE.
Verlinde Eurobloc VT 12.5-ton capacity hoists will remove the existing machinery and replace it with new equipment.
The press cylinders and accumulator cylinders of the Eiffel Tower’s elevators have been in service for one-hundred years, and this is the first time they will be changed.
They are to be replaced with systems that are technically as similar as possible to the original equipment.
Baudin Chateauneuf has installed a 17-metre gantry that enters the tower by a window through the metal framework.
Radio-controlled Verlinde hoists will handle the hydraulic systems, which are 16-metres long and weigh around 20 metric tons.
Eventually, both of the Eiffel Tower’s hydraulic elevators will be renovated in this way.
