Supplier of power management and
intelligent switchgear systems,
Mardix, has taken delivery of a
custom-built ROBUR truck from
Stanley Handling.
The Mardix installation team often has to handle large switchgear cabinets, weighing up to two tonnes, in areas with restricted height. This used to require a high degree of manual handling by teams of up to six operatives and the need for a mechanical alternative was identified.
The solution came in the form of the ROBUR SBP/3030, effectively a pedestrian-operated, battery-powered straddle truck fitted with a clamping and tilting system. A special frame is attached to mounting points in the top of the cabinet enabling the ROBUR handler to engage with, tilt and lower the equipment to the horizontal where, once locked in place, it can safely and easily be moved.
