To move the structure two synchronised\u00a0<strong>heavy duty industrial carts\u00a0<\/strong>were clearly going to be needed to support each end of the blade. In the past nobody had ever moved a wind turbine blade with two synchronised modular transfer carts without using a rigid structure to support the blade. This was a new challenge. In addition, the carts had to move both inside and outside the plant and the client required a lifting mechanism on the carts. The carts also required sufficient power to travel to the port and down the pier where the blades would be loaded onto a ship.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 30px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">THE SOLUTION<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>To resolve this challenge MORELLO proposed and built two synchronised SPMTs (modular self-propelled carts) with the following characteristics. The carts communicated with each other using their own wi-fi network to synchronise speed, acceleration, braking and steering positions of the individual wheels. A newly developed software programme was required to synchronise the movement as there was no rigid structure between the two carts, which operated at a distance of 80m from each other! This was a unique development. The carts were equipped with hydraulic suspension for each axle line. The battery powered vehicles with electric traction and steering ensured a completely green, environmentally friendly operational solution. This technology also ensures lower energy consumption and extremely low maintenance costs for a very cost-effective end result.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/RT1oaovO6NE<\/div>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 40px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16934,"menu_order":36,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"content-type":"","rank_math_lock_modified_date":false},"prodotti-case-study":[135],"industria-case-study":[105],"capacita-case-study":[111],"class_list":["post-14561","case-studies","type-case-studies","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","prodotti-case-study-wheels-based-battery-electric-flatbed-trolleys-omnidirectional-steering-omni","industria-case-study-wind-power","capacita-case-study-capacity-51-100-t"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/morellogiovanni.cmsone.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-studies\/14561"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/morellogiovanni.cmsone.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/case-studies"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/morellogiovanni.cmsone.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/case-studies"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morellogiovanni.cmsone.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/morellogiovanni.cmsone.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"prodotti-case-study","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morellogiovanni.cmsone.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/prodotti-case-study?post=14561"},{"taxonomy":"industria-case-study","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morellogiovanni.cmsone.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/industria-case-study?post=14561"},{"taxonomy":"capacita-case-study","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/morellogiovanni.cmsone.info\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/capacita-case-study?post=14561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
