Glass on a Fast Track
Mini jacks put to work in Canadian biosphere

It wasn't that the 4-inch-thick glass plates were that heavy, or even that the placement was difficult. The floor was the problem. "It just couldn't support very much weight" says Jean Lesage, Mega Lift Canada, "because the sensitive velodrome floor could only support 8,000 lbs., the simple possibility of using a crane or forklift was ruled out."

The problem facing general contractor Baillargeon Express, of Montreal, Quebec, was how to move $750,000 worth of Japanese manufactured glass plates to a beluga whale pool and beaver pond, on a narrow elevated track system that turned, twisted and even descended. Their answer was to call Mega Lift Canada, Inc., St. Therese, Quebec. The solution was to build a track system and use mini jacks to lift up the 4-inch-thick glass plates for the beaver pond and beluga whale pool. After a 15-minute journey down the tracks, the mini jacks arrive at the beluga whale pool. At this point, the glass plates are lowered and installed on the tank. The mini jacks were the only system that the consulting firm, Janin Engineering of Canada, would approve for the job.
