Automatic Load Leveling System

Transporting oversized loads often necessitates moving beyond standard solutions and developing a dedicated device with a broader range of functions and capabilities. For transporting large turbine rotors requiring stable, horizontal positioning during movement, an innovative transport system has been developed, based on a box-type spreader concept, supplemented with self-leveling systems.

FEATURES OF THE AUTOMATIC LOAD LEVELING SYSTEM

• The system is designed as a box-type spreader, minimizing the mass of the device itself.
• The device is equipped with semi-automatic pin adjustments with drives, used for suspending the main wire slings.
• The pin drives are controlled to three settings corresponding to the suspension points for the rotors.
• Installed drives adjust the sling deviation, changing the load's center of gravity relative to the crane hook's axis.
• The self-leveling system operates within a specified range compatible with the rotor's center of gravity placement.
• Wire slings are used for load suspension, permanently attached to the rotor bed.
• Additional equipment includes two manual chain hoists that move along the spreader on a chain-driven trolley.
• The system can be made in various size and load configurations.

BENEFITS OF USING THE SYSTEM

• Increased efficiency of the transport process by replacing standard solutions with a device specifically developed for the process.
• Enhanced precision in load positioning during transportation and installation.
• Automation of the positioning process, reducing the need for operator intervention.
• Compactness—a ready-to-use system for quick deployment.
• Increased workplace safety.

APPLICATION

• In the transportation of turbine rotors during production and installation.
• In processes requiring precise positioning of large, heavy loads.
