Product Overview
The Interlift flywheel extractor is a semi-automatic device dedicated to the removal, handling, and installation of flywheels and shafts of specific sizes on machines. It uses linear actuators, a motor-driven hydraulic lifting platform, and a movable trolley to achieve semi-automatic operation through an integrated electrical and hydraulic control system.
Powered by a dual 12V/24V battery system with onboard chargers, the extractor requires no external power during operation — making it ideal for on-site engine maintenance, marine engine rooms, and industrial workshops where mobility is essential. A laser pointer provides precise centre-line alignment with the flywheel, while a 4-position pendant control (E-stop, UP, DOWN, IN, OUT) gives the operator complete command from a safe distance.
With a Safe Working Load of 250 kg and a robust steel construction, the flywheel extractor improves safety, reduces manual handling risks, and speeds up flywheel removal and installation in demanding maintenance environments.

Key Features & Benefits
Laser Alignment
Cross-line laser pointer for precise centre-line alignment with the flywheel, ensuring accurate positioning every time.
Battery Powered
Dual 12V/24V battery system with onboard chargers — fully mobile operation without external power.
Hydraulic Lifting Platform
Motor-driven hydraulic platform raises and lowers the flywheel smoothly with automatic stop on full load.
Load Limit Protection
Load switch (LS1) disables the UP function after loading to prevent overloading and ensure safe operation.
5 Lock Mechanisms
Platform locks, trolley locks, and turn-table lock secure all moving parts for safe transport and operation.
Pendant Control
5-function pendant (E-stop, UP, DOWN, IN, OUT) allows safe remote operation from a distance.
Turn Table
Rotating turn table with lock (LK3) enables positioning of the flywheel for extraction and re-installation.
Counterweight Balance
Integrated counterweight maintains stability when lifting heavy flywheels at full extension.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Safe Working Load (SWL) of the flywheel extractor?
The standard unit has a Safe Working Load (SWL) of 250 kg. The equipment is designed for flywheels of specific sizes — please contact us to confirm suitability for your application.
Does the flywheel extractor require an external power supply?
No. The extractor runs on a dual 12V/24V battery system with onboard chargers. It can be operated entirely on battery power, making it fully mobile. Charging is via a standard 230 VAC 16 A plug.
How does the laser alignment system work?
A 12 VDC cross-line laser pointer projects a centre line onto the flywheel, allowing the operator to align the extractor precisely with the shaft centre before engaging the linear actuator.
What is the function of the linear actuator?
The 24 VDC linear actuator pushes the flywheel shaft out of the machine and pulls it back in. It is controlled via the IN and OUT buttons on the pendant.
What safety features are included?
The extractor includes a load limit switch (LS1) that disables the UP function after loading, up and down limit switches (LS2, LS3), five lock mechanisms (LK1–LK5) for all moving parts, and an emergency stop on the pendant.
Is training required to operate the flywheel extractor?
Yes. Operators should receive operational training and understand the structure, performance, and working principles of the equipment. The operation manual includes a full inspection sequence and step-by-step operating procedure.
Do you provide maintenance and spare parts?
Yes. We offer full installation support, commissioning, ongoing maintenance services, and 24/7 technical support with spare parts availability.
