100 tonnes, one operator

Movers for heavy diesel engines
August 28th 2008

Solving has been installing air film Movers for several years in many of the world’s largest diesel engine manufacturing plants. A Mover has now been developed by Solving to handle diesel engines weighing up to 100 tonnes.

Being both remote- and tape guided this Mover is able to move and position engines through production with millimetre accuracy, controlled and supervised by one single operator.

Depending on the length of the engines they are placed on one or more load pallets. Wheels are used for no-load transportation, whilst air bearings are activated when the Mover is loaded with a diesel engine. The Mover is also fitted with a built-in hose reel and electrical drive units. Wärtsilä is an important customer of Solving’s in this field of business.
