Case study
Relocating a 15,000 kg rubber mixer is a critical challenge for any manufacturer. For American Biltrite, minimizing downtime was essential to avoid costly production losses. Discover how the Foxtrot Solo 20 delivered a safe and efficient solution, reducing downtime and ensuring a smooth equipment replacement.
Challenge
American Biltrite needed to move its 15,000 kg rubber mixer to replace it with a new unit. Because the mixer was essential to production, the operation had to be completed quickly to limit production stoppages and avoid significant financial losses. The challenge was not only the weight and size of the equipment, but also the urgency to execute the move with maximum safety and minimum disruption.
Solution
Foxtrot deployed the Solo 20, a powerful and compact remote-controlled mover designed to handle heavy loads with precision. By using the Solo 20, the relocation was carried out smoothly and safely, even with the mixer’s considerable weight. The operation required no complex reorganization of the workspace and was completed much faster than traditional methods. As a result, machine downtime was reduced by 13 hours, providing American Biltrite with substantial savings and productivity gains.
