One World Trade Center

Svendborg Brakes is very proud to have worked together with FKC-Lake Shore and delivered the brake systems for the construction hoists used to build the new One World Trade Center also called the Freedom Tower.

There are a total of 4 x construction hoists, and each hoist has a brake system consisting of both a low speed and a high speed brake for increased safety.

For the low speed brake, Svendborg has delivered 1 x BSFI 3100-S-200 and for the high speed brake Svendborg has delivered 1 x BSFI 207-S-106. All brakes are failsafe direct acting brakes for maximum performance and durability.

The project is unlike any other, and represents the freedom of America, and the new One World Trade Center will be a symbol of this.

The project is being lead by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and is expected completion in 4. quarter 2013.
