Grosvenor Power Services opts for safer panel handling

High Voltage electrical installation specialist Grosvenor Power Services is using a CTE Pianoplan battery powered tracked load carrying machine to handle heavy and bulky electrical panels safely and efficiently into buildings and through doorways where alternative equipment or manual handling is impossible or inappropriate.

Pianoplan is a novel battery powered tracked load carrier that is capable of handling items weighing up to 600kg. Three different models are available with horizontal and vertical platen plates to provide users with complete versatility and flexibility for all types of load.

The model used by Grosvenor has a hydraulically actioned sliding top platen that can be powered between the horizontal and vertical positions. This allows loads to be strapped to the vertical plate and then lowered down to the horizontal position so that they can pass through doorways. Two 65Ah batteries and twin controlled drive motors enable the Pianoplan to climb up to 50 floors between recharges.
