Three different unit models were delivered to BMS A\/S, a longtime customer of MOOG who is located in Denmark. These units had working ranges from 16 ft. 5 in. up to 36 ft. 1 in. under the bridge.<\/p>\n
The smallest of the three delivered under-bridge units was previewed at the BAUMA exhibition in Munich in April this year and was handed over to the customer afterwards: It was a MBI 50-1\/SR mounted on a crawler chassis. This unit is ideal for operation on a narrow sidewalk, pedestrian bridges or sidewalks with low load capacity restrictions. Its total weight of 6,600 lbs is equally distributed on both crawler tracks and the transport height of nearly 9 ft. 6 in. allows standard transport on a common car trailer. With a transport width of 5 ft. 3 in., a horizontal range under the bridge of 16 ft. 5 in. and a lowering depth of 13 ft. 1 in. this machine is very functional – but with help of the following optional equipment ordered by the customer, it is even more versatile:
\nThe special erection function (excavator erection) enables erection of the unit between e.g. catenaries in railway areas or on truss bridges. With this function the platform can be rotated 90\u00b0 before setting up the tower and can then be placed into the bridge construction. The unit was delivered with a remote control which enables a better overview of the work area – particularly for those areas which are hard to see – and provides the user the necessary mobility by operating the unit with a wireless control. A scaffold which enables access to the top completes the optional equipment added to this unit.<\/p>\n
The next under-bridge unit handed over to BMS in May was a MBI 70-1\/S mounted on an IVECO chassis. The machine has a maximum horizontal working range of 22 ft. 11 in. under the bridge, which can be extended by a platform extension giving the unit up to 26 ft. 3 in. of working range under the bridge. The overall weight is 13,200 lbs. In keeping with the customers\u2019 request the unit was equipped with a steel ring, which lifts the upper structure and thereby enables a wider crossing over of sound barriers. The customer also requested an additional camera system to be installed on the unit. Finally, a scaffold on the platform enables the access to e.g. box girders.<\/p>\n
The largest of the three delivered platform units was handed over to the customer in January 2016: A MBI 110-1,2\/S mounted on a MAN chassis. This machine has a maximum horizontal range of up to 42 ft. 8 in. under the bridge (36 ft. 1 in. standard without using the 6 ft. 6 in. platform extension ordered with this unit). It was also equipped with a steel ring for wider crossing over of sound barriers of up to 9 ft. 2 in. In addition a telescopic rotation frame was installed, which enables a wider sidewalk clearance of up to 10 ft. 10 in. The customer also requested the installation of the excavator erection and a remote control for this unit. A scaffold with 5 ft. 7 in. standing height and the installation of night lighting completed the special equipment added to this unit making this machine very versatile on a job site.<\/p>\n
All three units are currently operating in Denmark.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”4110,4115,4120,4125,4130,4135,4140,4145,4150,4155,4160,4165,4170,4175,4180,4185,4190,4195,4200,4205,4210,4215,4220″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
