Irizar Heavy Industries designs and manufactures a complete range of tank jacking equipment for aboveground storage tank construction, maintenance, repair, and modification projects. Our product range includes different jacking systems, capacities, and configurations to suit the requirements of each tank and construction method. Whether the project involves erecting a new storage tank, lifting an existing tank for repairs, replacing tank bottoms or annular plates, or performing major tank modifications, Irizar can provide a jacking solution engineered for the application.
Model 12 MT - 3000 & Model 25 MT - 3000
Are used to construct API 650 and API 620 Welded Steel Tanks and Bolted Tanks. The construction process is top-down [rather than the traditional bottom-up]. Our system eliminates the need for large cranes. Scaffolding is minimized. The roof is built over the first ring. Tank shell plates are fed at floor level, increasing productivity because personnel at the job site work inside the tank under the roof cover. The process is performed at a maximum height of 6.50 m and encompasses assembly, tack welding, circumferential and longitudinal welding, inspection, and repairs.
Application
Tank Construction:
- API 650 Welded Tanks for Oil Storage
- API 620 Welded Low-Pressure Storage Tanks
- LNG Double-Wall Tanks
- Bolted Tanks
Tank Repair & Modifications / Alterations
Climbing Jacks
Step Jacks, also known as Climbing Jacks: They are synchronized lifting devices designed to raise field-erected storage tanks in accordance with API 650 and API 653. The tank is lifted from the outside to allow Annular Ring Replacement, Annular Plate Restoration, Tank Foundation Removal, and Tank Bottom Plate Replacement. Step Jacks temporarily lift and support existing storage tanks during the repair or replacement of annular bottom plates located beneath the tank shell. These systems allow damaged annular plates to be removed and new plates installed while minimizing downtime and project costs. The equipment is also used for major rehabilitation projects, such as tank bottom plate replacement, in which all or part of the tank floor is removed and replaced due to corrosion, leakage, settlement, or structural deterioration. In addition, it supports tank foundation removal and rehabilitation activities, including foundation replacement, settlement correction, annular ring restoration, and tank relocation projects. Together, these systems provide a comprehensive solution for storage tank maintenance, repair, reconstruction, and life-extension projects, ensuring safe, efficient, and cost-effective execution of critical tank repair operations.
Tank Dismantling Jacks
Tank Dismantling Jacks are designed to safely and efficiently lower storage tanks during dismantling operations. They are suitable for both API field-erected welded tanks and bolted tanks. These jacks are specifically designed for controlled lowering during tank removal and are not intended for lifting applications.

Experience
Irizar Tank Jacking has been used to construct over 5,000 API-620 & API-650 field-erected tanks worldwide, including oil refineries, petrochemical plants, fertilizer plants, power generating stations, petroleum product installations & depots, and liquid storage terminals at ports.
Features:
- Construction Procedure: Tank erection occurs from the top course downwards.
- Efficient: Reduce the overall tank manufacturing time
- Cost-Effective: Expensive, large cranes are no longer required
- Minimum use of scaffolding is needed
- Workplace Safer: Assembling and welding at ground level
- Erection Safe: Even during power pack failure, electrical power shutdown, or hose rupture. The tank is held in place and does not slip
- Flexible: Equipment can be split for the erection of smaller tanks or expanded to build larger tanks
- Temperature: Reliable at minus 30 degrees Celsius
- Application: a) Tank construction, b) Dismantling tanks, c) Replacing annular plate or foundation repair, d) Expanding tank capacity by adding an extra shell in the bottom.
Service
- Jack Selection Software: For selecting the jack model and the number of jacks per tank, Irizar Heavy Industries Inc. has developed a sophisticated, unique software that ensures the lifting jacking system will withstand tank load, snow load, wind load, and seismic load for a specific construction site. The following factors are considered: 1) Tank Diameter (m), 2) Tank Height (m), 3) Tank Weight (MT) not including bottom shell or base plate, 4) Number of roof column(s) support (if applicable) & roof weight, 5) Construction Site, 6) Snow Load (MT), 7) 3-second gust Wind Speed (km/hr). In accordance with ASCE 7-10 or the National Building Code, 8) Seismic Geometric Data from USGS or the National Building Code.
