* No crane required
* Faster erection
* Lesser manpower required
Cost of the Hydraulic Jacking Systems / Equipments can be recovered after constructing 3 to 4 storage tanks or by erecting about 1200 tons of tankage. Hydraulic Jacking Systems / Equipments cost is around USD 50 per ton for 1200 tons. Example : Tank of 30 m diameter weighing about 300 tons needs 30 jacks of 12 ton each. Full cost of Hydraulic Jacking System / Equipment is recovered in 4 such tanks.
