industry company can negate any delays by switching to electric-only mode when being used indoors. In addition, Cometto says, its hybrid SPMTs have exceeded the contractually agreed electrical-only range of the hybrid PPU by double. Another plus, Cometto says,
is reduced noise levels. The noise levels are now below 80 dB(A). This
means that, according to Danish law employees can work in the hall for up to eight hours without requiring hearing protection in the immediate vicinity.
“Using hybrid technology, it is
now possible to drive completely emission-free within the hall with the battery pack and the electric motor,” says Cometto sales manager Joachim Kolb. “And when the transport combination arrives outside, the driver can switch to the diesel engine at the touch of a button and then drive the long distances with the combustion engine. And if even more power is required, the diesel engine can be additionally boosted by the electric motor – just like in Formula 1.”
SPMT/CRANE HYBRID The increased need for the safe and efficient transportation of wind turbine components has led N.C. Nielsen, a
The HH Mobile Straddle Transporter (MST) can move items such as wind turbine towers, single lifts of nacelles, heavy elements or machine components – and can run over the load if it needs to be moved to a place where space is limited, such as on RoRo ships
Scandinavian supplier of forklift trucks, terminal tractors and special machinery, to develop a completely new type of machine. Named the ‘HH Pick and Carry’ the machine is, N.C. Nielsen says, a hybrid between an SPMT trailer and a crane and is the first of its kind in the world. The HH Pick and Carry is available with lifting capacities from 200 to over 500 tonnes making it possible to handle heavy loads in areas such as factories, warehouses and ports. The HH Pick and Carry is designed so that its chassis legs can be shifted in width. This, says N.C. Nielsen, makes it ideal for handling wind turbine towers
The HH Multi Handler is the world's first of its kind
The HH Tower Mover can transport wind turbine towers,
concrete pipes, ships or large machine components. It can be operated from the ground, platform or cabin
