CLIENT PROBLEM

Electricity North West were transporting Forst tracked chippers as part of their fleet. The tracked chippers helped them in maintaining and looking after the power lines across the North West. However, the process required to strap down and secure the tracked chippers onto the trailers was proving inefficient and time consuming for them.

THE DISCOVERY

With our Rhino Plant Trailer, we already had a solution for strapless loading. The system, called LoadSentry, successfully provided a solution for securing diggers to the trailer without the need for multiple ratchet straps.

Having proven the system at Milbrook Testing ground we were confident in using this system and adapting it to work with other pieces of equipment. Therefore, we were approached to look at a potential option for applying the same principle to the Forst Tracked Chippers.

THE SOLUTION

Working with Forst, Electricity North West and our in-house engineers, we developed an adaptation to our Load Sentry strapless digger system to work in conjunction with the TR8 tracked wood chipper.

The solution involved a stop bar being fitted to the chipper in order to ensure that the chipper was always loaded correctly and in the right position for weight distribution
