Special Solution - Automated Steel Element Transport System

The system is designed for transporting sheet piles and long steel elements, ensuring safe and efficient handling in processes that involve transporting lengthy steel components.

Transporting sheet piles, which are long steel elements used for creating waterproof barriers, demands not only an efficient but also a reliable solution. This process required the development of a specialized solution based on the tandem operation of two overhead cranes, equipped with column winches with electromagnets mounted on oscillating links. The operation of the devices is coordinated using both automation and mechanical coupling, allowing them to work either separately or in tandem, facilitating the transport of sheet piles up to 30 meters long.

FEATURES OF THE AUTOMATED SHEET PILE TRANSPORT SYSTEM

• The solution is based on a configuration of two large-scale manipulators, designed as column overhead cranes working in a tandem system.
• Flexible configuration - both manipulators are equipped with telescopic winches, which support lifting beams with electromagnets mounted on oscillating, rotating links.
• Efficient and effective transport - the oscillating links of the electromagnets enable a single-line or double-line configuration depending on the number of transported sheet piles. This allows for the handling of loads up to 6.5 tons and lengths of up to 30 meters.
• The devices can operate both independently and in tandem. Their precise operation is enabled by mechanical coupling and an automatic communication system between the devices.
• Safety guarantee - the installation includes a work area limit system.
• Convenient control - system operation is managed autonomously, from a cabin or remotely via a radio system.
• Transport options include handling single sheet piles or paired bundles.
• The system can be customized in various size configurations.

BENEFITS OF THE SYSTEM

• Increased efficiency in transporting long steel elements, whether single or bundled.
• Improved process accuracy.
• Automation of the retrieval process for single sheet piles or bundles of sheet piles.
• Simplified installation due to the two-girder crane-based construction.
• Enhanced workplace safety.

APPLICATION

• In the transport of sheet piles, I-beams, metal strips, etc.
• In the transportation of metal elements in long sections, either single or bundled.
