The latest generation of Konecranes spent fuel nuclear cask transporters are designed to safely and efficiently handle most nuclear dry storage casks. To provide you with a high level of safety, load drop protection is standard, and the ergonomic controls simplify operation. Our transporters are available in both rubber tyre and track-driven designs capable of handling up to 350 tons and offer the smallest possible turning radius, including full rotational capability. They can be easily shipped to locations worldwide in standard shipping containers and are specially designed for simple assembly in the field in just one day.
You put your nuclear cask transporter operator in control of your valuable spent fuel containers, so we provide the comfort and ergonomic support he or she needs to operate with the speed and precision needed to manoeuvre casks. The joystick controls are ergonomically placed to provide easier operation. Our comfortable operator chair prevents fatigue and, most importantly, it is equipped with multiple interlocking safety features.
Due to their tremendous size and extreme mobility, track driven cask transporters have a reputation for damaging haul path surfaces and plant floors, which can result in expensive maintenance repairs. Konecranes solved this problem with a rubber tyre propulsion design, with aircraft quality tyres that are filled with foam instead of air. These 26-ply tyres are made from natural rubber and are resistant to dry rot and cannot go flat due to air loss. These tyres are suitable for use on asphalt, concrete and compacted gravel.
In the unlikely event of a lifting system failure, the cask transporter is equipped with a safety catching device that is integrated with the lifting system. This device, which is designed to be failsafe, can safely stop and hold the load in the event of a failure, such as a complete power loss.
Heavy-duty hydraulic motors provide high torque at zero speed which produces extremely fine driving precision without start-up lurching. The hydraulic drive system utilises synthetic oil and never requires changing under normal operation.
In addition to our standard transporter design, Konecranes offers a complete range of customised cask transporters employing rubber tyre and track driven propulsion systems suitable for virtually every configuration of vertical and horizontal dry cask storage system. Contact Konecranes and let our experts build the exact transporter you need to provide maximum productivity and safety for your facility.
