Once again MOOG was able to show a new customer the many advantages of MOOG under-bridge equipment: THEO.S \u2013 a service company for access technology of all kinds in Germany decided to buy a MOOG platform unit model MBI 170 with special equipment.<\/p>\n
The MBI 170 standard unit has a maximum horizontal range of 55 ft. 9 in. under the bridge. As THEO.S wanted to meet all demands in their service sector, the company decided to order a platform extension of 6 ft. 7 in. and another of 3 ft. 3 in. Thus the maximum horizontal range of the MBI 170 is expanded to up to 65 ft. 8 in. in a few simple steps.<\/p>\n
With help of the custom installed vertical frame crossing of sound barriers can be extended from 9 ft. 10 in. to 13 ft. 6 in. as well. The vertical frame can be operated continuously and while not in use it helps to extend the over-bridging of sidewalks from 8 ft. 3 in. to 12 ft. 4 in., big advantage in today’s ever changing bridge design market.<\/p>\n
THEO.S also ordered two scaffolds and a hydraulic lift to be delivered as additional equipment together with the unit. The two scaffolds with a stand height of 6 ft. 7 in. each and a working height of 13 ft. 2 in. each the inspection of box girders is not a problem anymore because the scaffolds can be used throughout the length of the platform. With the installed hydraulic lift heights of 21 ft. 4 in. become easily reachable.<\/p>\n
The customer also requested the unit be equipped with a pier inspection unit. This enables the easy inspection of bridges piers with help of a small platform, that can be lowered from the main platform by means of steel cables. With help of installed night lightning and a camera system on the platform including reverse camera with switchable display, the unit can be operated immediately and at any time of the day or night.<\/p>\n
Despite of the numerous optional items added to the unit the dry weight of the unit is still only 70,400 lbs.<\/p>\n
The training took place end of July 2014 at the facilities of MOOG.<\/p>\n
After the training the unit was directly driven to its first operation in Thuringia\/Germany.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”4755,4795,4790,4785,4780,4775,4770,4765,4760″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
