Challenge

Moving a pressure tank is never a simple task, especially when dealing with an 18,000 lb Urco 2 pressure tank. The company faced a complex logistical challenge: how to relocate such a massive piece of equipment without compromising safety, precision, or productivity. Traditional methods would have required significant manpower, coordination, and time. Beyond the physical weight, the pressure tank represented a high-risk move due to its sensitivity and the strict safety measures required in such industrial environments. Every hour of downtime would have cost the company valuable production time and revenue, making efficiency just as important as safety.

Compact, maneuverable, and designed specifically for handling heavy industrial equipment, the Solo 10 provided the ideal solution for moving a pressure tank of this size. With the support of trusted partners Les Entreprises de réfrigération LS and GROUPE PMI, the project was executed smoothly.

Its compactness meant it could navigate tight areas, and its remote-control technology gave operators precise control, ensuring the tank was moved safely at every step.
