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 29 ft. 6 in. under the bridge and a lowering depth of up to 19 ft. 8 in. The total weight is 12,540 lbs 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 3 ft. 3 in. platform extension was added which increases the maximum horizontal range up to 32 ft. 9 in. 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.
