For tube mills serving the offshore oil  industry that manufacture down hole coiled tubing, there is a new option that can dramatically increase their productions within existing facilities.  By simply raising the stands to provide a 20” (500 mm) “tunnel” space.  One man can now drive one of these fully self-contained transporters into place under the stand, then lift and move it ANYWHERE in ANY DIRECTION.  Wheelift builds very low profile, self-propelled, self-loading, all-directional travel transporters that can enter and exit from either side or either end of the coiled strip stands.

For this type of application, transporters can be in the 80 to 100 tons capacity range.

The all-wheel drive transporters have a deck height of only 18 ½ inches and have six inches of vertical lift as part of their fluid equalizing suspension system.  The AC electric motor drives and HPU for the fluid suspension are powered by an ultra low profile LP gas engine driven generator power pack.
