Safe aluminium transport
During transport the lifting bed is mechanically locked for safe transportation. For discharge of the metal in the furnaces the vehicle is parked alongside the front of the furnace and stabilized by hydraulic jacks. After stabilizing, the discharge launder is extended into the furnace and the ladle start tilting to empty via the launder. The tilting speed is adjustable and “set” to a safe maximum level to prevent overflow.

Special attention has been taken to ensure good visibility and safety of operation when reversing in order to permit easy and safe operation at loading and unloading areas.
