Overview
These robust MGVs are engineered to lift and traverse 40,000 lbs and are built for the energy industry. These units also have the capacity to act as automated guided vehicles when the need arises.
Features
Engineered and manufactured to lift and precisely position massive engines for assembly and maintenance purposes, Handling Specialty’s 40, 000 lb. Manually Guided Vehicles employ modular traction/steering drives that are bolted to a fabricated steel frame. The traction/steering modules simplify the operation and maintenance of the engine transporters.
The Traction/Steering modules provide the force to move the MGV. Each module consists of two polyurethane wheels, each driven by a servo brake motor. These servo motors provide differential speed steering control to the module angle and provide traction. Each module is equipped with an absolute encoder to monitor the angle of the module.
All models feature traditional steering as well as crab steering capabilities. The engine transporters also feature Zero Turn Radius (ZTR) steering, which allows the transporter to turn about its center. All of these steering modes are available in both unloaded and loaded conditions offering maximum flexibility of use.
All models have an e-stop button on the corners of the mainframe as well as amber strobe lights and audible signals that indicate the transporter is going to start moving and is in motion.
The 40, 000 lb. models feature an integrated hydraulic lift function that allows the transporter to pick up engines with the assistance of a specially designed tooling fixture.
The 100,000 lb AGV model features a tandem ability to carry up to 200,000 lbs.
