Marine Travelift promotes the ecological travelift
04-01-2013
Marine Travelift, whose distributor in Spain is Almarin, continues to lead the market in the development of gantries on wheels. The latest addition to its line of BFMII travelifts for shipyards and shipyards has the possibility of a Tier 3 diesel engine that operates on biodiesel, thus complying with the demanding standards of the state of California. In addition, with the AVT (Automatic Variable Throttle) option, rotations are increased when the hydraulic system requires more power, but adjusting this energy to its task. This leads to fuel savings and a reduction in CO2 emissions, as well as a lower cost of machine maintenance.
Nielsen Beaumont Marine Inc., which has a shipyard in San Diego, has been the first to acquire a 75Tn Eco Marine Travelift. This machine has been a key tool in its plan to improve its facilities and at the same time, preserving the environment. The ecological characteristics of the travelift were important when purchasing it, but other aspects were also taken into account, such as, in addition to the remote control, a complete driving cabin that does not depend on electronics, unlike other manufacturers. “In other manufacturers' equipment, if the transmitter is damaged or the battery dies, you lose the whole machine. On the other hand, with Marine Travelift you can operate the machine from the cabin, without loss of activity, ”says Nielsen.
