The Solution
Numet's mechanical and electrical design teams worked in parallel to develop a compact cart in order to meet the client’s limitations on space available to access the vessel locations.
The cart is a self contained powered vehicle complete with power distribution, drives and motors. Operator controlled, by a pendant box, the independent drive wheels allow the cart to turn about it’s own center!
A lift mechanism is provided to raise and lower the vessels prior to relocation by the cart. A set of mechanical brakes, independent of the drive system, provides emergency braking and parking.
Operation of the cart is intentionally manual so that the safety issues associated with automatic equipment are not introduced.
