Refurbished MBI 90-1/S to Chile
The company Freysinnet Chile bought a refurbished MBI 90-1/S, which was originally built for the US market in 1999 and was completely re-built at the MOOG Germany premises in 2015/2016. So now Chile owns one more MOOG under-bridge unit.
This machine was built as a trailer version and has a maximum horizontal range of 9.0 m under the bridge and a lowering depth of up to 6.0 m. The total weight is 5,700 kg only which suits our Chilean customer very much as the trailer can easily be transported due to its low weight.
The under-bridge unit was equipped with additional equipment to meet the customers’ needs of course: A 1.0 m platform extension was added which increases the maximum horizontal range up to 10.0 m and the delivered scaffolding enables access to box girders.
The training took place mid-September 2016 at the MOOG Germany facilities. The shipment to Chile then took place mid-November 2016.
This is a good example where MOOG under-bridge access solutions are not only extremely durable but also are very much demand – worldwide.
