subject: Diverse Applications Of Loading Platforms [print this page] The co-founder of a US lifting company has long been speaking about a few of the more revolutionary applications of lifting solutions.
Lifting devices like shackle load cells and beam load cells are normally used in heavy lifting jobs like cranes and mechanical plant.
Despite this, one US expert believes that they can be employed for something a lot more more diverse the equivalent to twelve or more elephants.
Wheelift System's Mel Terry, a specialist in equalising suspension systems, Wheelift Systems Group, an expanding leader in ultra-heavy capacity transporter systems which are revolutionizing tasks across market sectors.
Mr Terry, who has developed loading devices to relocate oil rigs in Alaska , has been looking to create a method to transfer air bearings, given the troublesome nature of transferring these kinds of structures .
He has developed a wheel-based technological innovation which could offer similar loading plus all-directional steering capabilities.
The system is an equalising suspension axle product to specifically be used in intense industrial conditions and challenging manufacturing procedures.
Wheelift's loading appliances are utilised in aircraft and ship assembly, mining operations, nuclear spent fuel transport and pretty much every other heavy manufacturing or industrial operation needing incredibly heavy load transport.
"We manufacture a totally new version of self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs)," Mr Terry said.
"Wheelift's new technology offers equally heavy load capacities as traditional systems while being much smaller and more flexible than European built SPMTs."
"Industries seeking safety and precision over cumbersome, traditional methods will benefit from investing in our product. It is that simple."
Wheelift's transporters are made in Iowa and are provided with load capacities perfect for holding as much as 500 tons.
Transporters can overcome a variety of surface irregularities which includes grating, drains, old in-floor rails, open expansion joints and ramps without the chance of injury and instability inherent in conventional techniques.
