MOOG delivered its 500th Under-Bridge Equipment
The 500th under-bridge unit left MOOGs’ facilities in the South of Germany and was driven to the WEICO company in Italy in February 2015.
The anniversary unit was a model MBI 110-1,2/S – one of the most commonly sold MOOG platform units.
The under-bridge unit was mounted on a MAN truck chassis and was adjusted according to the customers’ requirements as follows:
This mid-range unit has a horizontal range of 11.0 m under the bridge, which can be increased to 13.0 m by using the platform extension ordered with the unit. The maximum lowering depth of 7.2 m is achieved by using the whole tower length of the unit during operation without any manual moving of cylinder pins on the telescopic cylinder. This is accomplished by the installation of a roller guide instead of a slide guide on the tower, which is normally only used on our bigger units. Also the ability to cross sidewalks of 3.3 m was an optional item added on to this MBI 110-1,2/S unit.
The final inspection and training took place at the MOOG facility in the beginning of February 2015 and was successfully completed.
The above referenced special options on this under-bridge unit showcase how MOOG strives to meet the customers’ requirements and therefore fully satisfies its clients.
With the ever increasing high demand for under-bridge access equipment MOOG starts into its 35th year in business and proudly looks back to 500 delivered under-bridge units that are all still in operation today.
