# 60T Floating valve station

### Objective

Aker Solutions in Malaysia invested in a Solving Mover on air bearings to handle 47-ton XMT valve stations between the assembly and test areas. The valve stations are placed on load pallets under which the Mover drives on ‘no-load’ wheels. The air bearings are then activated and the load is lifted up and moved to the required destination.

### Advantages

Due to the low friction between the air bearing elements and the floor, the traction force required is minimal. A radio remote-control unit enables the operator to supervise the move from a safe position. A movable brush guard around the Mover also reduces the risk of injuries and prevents harmful debris from entering the air bearing area, which might damage the air bearings.

### Result

The investment in a Solving Mover on air bearings ensures safe and flexible handling of the valve stations between the assembly and test areas. The Solving Mover is low-profile, small, and light compared with its relatively high load capacity, and no cranes or other external lift devices are required to transport the valve stations around the production area.
