The Joint Venture of Max B\u00f6gl \u2013 Astaldi S.p.A. has ordered a customized under-bridge unit from MOOG for work on bridges on the new highway from Bucharest to Constanta and in particular the section Medgidia – Constanta which was the JV\u2019s part of contract. The biggest challenge for MOOG in this project, was to design a machine that will fit on bridge No. 20 over the Danube \u2013 Black Sea Channel as a lowering depth of more than 39 ft. 5 in. was required for the arch\u2019s end section at the pylons. At the same point it is necessary to reach up 29 ft. 7 in. from the end of the platform to inspect the areas behind the girders. The solution was a modification of MOOG\u2019s existing MBI 180 trailer mounted unit, on which a tower extension was installed to allow reaching 42 ft. 8 in. of lowering depth. Furthermore, the 59 ft. 1 in. long and 5 ft. 7 in. wide platform with a payload of 1,760 lbs., allowed the installation of a hydraulic lift that can reach up 29 ft. 7 in. and thus enables the operators to work at a height of 36 ft. 1 in. on the end of the platform.<\/p>\n
As the unit was not only ordered to serve as an access for inspection but also later on to complete repair work, MOOG installed a hydraulic crane on the trailer which allows the ever so easy moving of material or tools down to the platform instead of getting there through the access tower.<\/p>\n
Like all trailer mounted units from MOOG the machine is equipped with a Diesel Generator that delivers power for the hydraulic system, as well as the power supply for the electrical sockets on the platform. For emergency situations a petrol engine and a second hydraulic pump are installed. Stabilizers \u2013 are provided by standard truck axles – and the appropriate amount of counter weight to secure the stability of the machine in all positions. A hydraulic creep speed enables the smooth movement of the machine during operation and includes a steering function.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”5226,5221,5216,5211″ img_size=”large”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
