New supply of n.12 generator sets with 500 KVA power mounted on a special towing trolley for sandy surfaces.
We have been chosen again by our client, one of the main global operators in the Oil & Gas sector, whom we have had the privilege of serving for decades.
This project of ours, born about 25 years ago, was immediately successful.
However, there have been numerous technical updates over the years, considering that our first supply dates back to 1999!!
In the depicted photos, you can see these evolutionary dynamics of the product, with a constant common denominator: the quality and reliability of the product.
The structure of the machine, created to operate in harsh conditions, is robust and resilient in every part, and among its main features boasts a high axle height to allow towing with special vehicles suitable for traveling on sandy surfaces.
- Below we list some distinctive features of the towing trolley:
- Towing drawbar with a 1-meter high spherical eye from the ground.
- Leaf spring suspensions suitable for rough terrain.
- Special tires for sandy surfaces.
- N.4 stabilizing feet.
- Manual parking brake.
- Ladder to access the walkway that surrounds the machine.
- Lighting and signaling in compliance with the Road Code, with protective grids.
- Marechal electric socket with 600A power from which the entire power of the machine is drawn.
Special attention in the construction of the machine has always been given to the maintenance aspect, such as creating wide side doors in the enclosure for access to the engine and alternator compartment, to make maintenance as easy as possible for the operator. In recent years’ supplies, an additional inspection door on the roof has also been created to access the top part of the engine, with related steps recessed in the enclosure for climbing up/down.
Lastly, the enclosure is completely liftable using n.4 hooks located on the roof, thus allowing extraordinary maintenance operations, such as the replacement of main components and/or engine overhaul.
Mainly used in the Sahara desert, the largest hot desert on Earth, with an area of 9,200,000 km², located in North Africa and crossed by the Tropic of Cancer, with ambient temperatures reaching up to 55°C. For this reason, high ventilation has been created inside the machine, through large grids placed on the enclosure, also protecting the internal shell with anti-sand filters.
Think that the first machines supplied in 1999, which you see in the photos, are still in operation despite the numerous hours of active work.
