Truck lift for concert hall

How “The Silo” Concert Hall in the port of Marseille relies on its MotoSuiveur-secured truck elevator for the logistics of its shows.

The Customer

The CEPAC Silo is a 2000-seats concert hall in Marseille with a diversified program of ballets, concerts and theater. This grain silo built in the late 1920s became a concert hall in 2011.
“Our truck lift is equipped with MotoSuiveur units, a product developed by SIGUREN, which has made it possible to secure our equipment under load since 2011. The two MotoSuiveur units that we have been using have given us great satisfaction.
The Siguren Technologies team has been able to guide us and provide us with technical support when we, or our maintenance provider, had specific requests.
The professionalism and availability of this team has enabled us to deal with unforeseen events and provide solutions.”

— Alexis Benoit, Technical Director of CEPAC Silo

Hoisting challenges

Crucial hoist.

The truck elevator platform is a vital part of the customer's operation, with no back-up platform. Hoist has to be reliably available.

Delicate load.

The trucks being handled should not experience strong deceleration in case of hoist failure and emergency arrest.

Open-air marine conditions.

The truck lift operates in the sea port of Marseille and is exposed to a salt air marine environment all year round.

You are one retrofit away from operating a fail-safe hoist.

The MotoSuiveur Solution

The following MotoSuiveur Solution was selected and configured for integration to the hoist:

Benefits of the MotoSuiveur-Secured hoist

20 mm emergency arrest.

If the MotoSuiveur-Secured hoist undergoes any fault condition that puts the load into free-fall (such as a mechanical rupture, power failure, control failure, etc), the MotoSuiveur Unit instantly self-locks and absorbs the kinetic energy to safely and smoothly arrest the load within 20 mm of load descent.
Moreover, overspeed is prevented, it cannot occur.

Redundant kinematic chain.

The hoisted trucks remain always safe and never stuck. The MotoSuiveur Unit is designed to serve as a redundant and completely independent load path. This capability is unique to MotoSuiveur-Secured hoists and provides unmatched resilience and safety in cases of hard hoist failures such as power failure or mechanical rupture of the main drive chain.

Robust and sealed safety solution.

With an hermetically sealed enclosure and no exterior moving parts, MotoSuiveur Units are ready to serve in difficult external conditions including dust, humidity and extreme temperatures.
