EBI’s jacking systems are engineered for heavy-duty performance across offshore, marine, industrial, and specialty lifting applications. Originating in the liftboat industry, EBI’s legendary 12-tooth pinion design has become a global standard for reliability, strength, and speed.

With more than 600 GB82 planetary gearbox units in service worldwide, EBI jacking systems power everything from small elevating structures and telescopic crane booms to liftboats—including several vessels in the EBI fleet.

Built for More Than Liftboats

While EBI’s jacking systems are well-known for raising liftboats safely above the waterline, the same technology is used across a wide range of industries, including:

• Inland and marine construction
• Bridge and dock elevation projects
• Barges and modular platforms
• Shipyards and vessel maintenance
• Industrial platform lifting
• Temporary or permanent elevating structures
• Energy sector lifting and stabilization

If you need to elevate, stabilize, or precisely position a structure, on land or water, EBI can engineer the system to do it.
