Woodside concluded its Roborigger trial at Ranong Port, Thailand, as part of the Woodside Myanmar Drilling Campaign 2020/21. The trial involved lifting of 12m joints of 20″ casing at Ranong Bonded Yard, each weighting 2.4t, and loading the 20″ casing from the truck onto Pacific Grackle supply vessel.
Santos trialled the use of the HINGE-LOKTM transportation frame for handling screened casing. The system is attractive because the casing can be run directly from the racks and because it eliminates the need for long transport baskets. For full trial with Roborigger load control, watch here.
Roborigger is proving its reliability by entering the fifth month of service on the new Perth museum site. Our AR10 unit has been deployed since December and has performed above expectations . It is now attached to the crane for all operations and operating without tag lines has now become standard on the site.
Roborigger is a wireless load controlling system which uses gyroscopic and inertial forces to accurately rotate and orient crane loads. Roborigger allows lifting operation to be undertaken without using taglines or without personnel to be in the vicinity of the load. Roborigger has been site-tested for over 12 months with our development partners in commercial use. Rental units are now available.
TENSA’s Roborigger is a new wireless rotation device attached to the crane hook. In this operation, watch Roborigger being used to lift and install panels on a building at a construction site in Perth CBD without the need for taglines or people to be in the vicinity of the load.
In this operation, Roborigger rotates a 20ft container 180 degrees without the need for taglines or people to be in the vicinity of the load.
In this operation, watch Roborigger rotate a 10m tower crane mast to 180 degrees without the need for taglines or people to be in the vicinity of the load.
