The FAB AUTO is an innovative fully self-balancing personnel basket, designed for under-bridge operations.
Its advanced balancing system consists of three main components:
- A hydraulic actuator, which allows 360° (non-continuous) arm rotation, allowing it to function in under-bridge operations.
- A top-tier hydraulic control unit that grants perfect control of the actuator’s cylinders, while keeping the energetic consumption at a minimum;
- An electronic card that controls the balancing of the basket through the inclination sensors.
Our patented system’s greatest innovation lies within the hydraulic actuator, working with oil-immersed steel spheres which move inside the cylinders to adjust the inclination of the basket.
A safety lever installed on the actuator grants the possibility to manually lock or unlock the basket’s arm, if necessary. The hydraulic system is thus completely self-sufficient and independent from the machine on which the basket is installed.
The component that ensures the working of the system is the digital electronic card, which is in compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE and the technical Standard EN 13849-1 PL d.
This personnel basket is equipped with a gravity-closing entry gate, rubber side bumpers for hand protection and impact resistance, reflective stickers on the bottom and sides of the basket, an aluminum tool holder and a document case.
