Fans glide into place

Posted on Friday 1 January 2010

Hatton Systems is able to move 2.5t of machinery to be moved around a workshop with just one hand thanks to equipment provided by Movetech UK.

Hatton Systems supplies equipment for testing new vehicles, including cooling fans to test emissions and engine performance. The cooling fans, which are used to simulate air flow, weigh up to 2.5t each, and were previously very difficult to move into position.

Movetech UK has provided Hovair air skates that mean that instead of requiring two employees to heave the equipment into place, one person can easily glide, and lock the fan into position. Air skates provide omni-directional capabilities, meaning that a load can be moved in any direction without the need for complex turning manoeuvres.
