RH45 For Radioactive Waste Management

Redesigned our RH45 electric forklift truck for radioactive waste management of a former nuclear plant managed by Sogin.

Sogin is a public company responsible for the decommissioning of Italian nuclear plants and the management of radioactive waste. Since 2012 our collaboration continued with the delivery of some AC250-8 120V - 25000 kg forklift trucks at 800 mm centre of gravity. The last order included the configuration of our RH45 - 4500 kg at 500 mm for the handling of bins and tanks with radioactive waste.

The peculiarity of the project and of the type of load to be handled has foreseen the redesign of our RH45 model.

From the operator\'s point of view the cabin has been completely sealed through the use of special steels to protect it from possible radiation. At the same time the windows have been integrated with shielding glass. Two infrared video cameras have been inserted at the front and rear. The electronic distributor with mini-fingers and the Grammer seat offer maximum comfort to the operator.

The handling of drums, bins and tanks containing radioactive waste requires the use of a clamp with arm with fixed extension. In order to compensate for any vibration and stress we have reinforced the axle and fixed the mast with a load stabilizer.

Our RH45s have a 90° turning radius which makes it easier for the operator to move in tight spaces. Especially in this particular situation, a further advantage is the agility achieved due to the type of load to be handled, reducing possible manoeuvres and conditioning.

RH45 belongs to the range 4 - 7 tons of the RH series. A line of trucks recognized to work in heavy situations and in multiple shifts. RH forklifts are used in the sectors of paper, recycling, logistics, timber, steelworks, concrete and now in the management of special waste.

Our peculiarity is to provide you with a trolley tailored to your needs, preferences. Like a tailor would do by making a dress for you.
