Energy sector
Solving’s handling equipment is designed to suit a wide range of handling requirements in the energy sector.
For nearly 50 years, customers have relied on our solutions to address their specific handling needs.
Our offerings for this sector include Air Film Movers, wheeled Movers, and
Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), all tailored to their intended applications.
In the transformer and wind energy industries, Air Film Movers are predominantly used, although
customized wheeled forklifts are also installed in certain cases. For the nuclear and hydrogen industries, we conduct feasibility studies and provide AGVs to ensure efficient and safe handling processes.
In the oil and offshore industries, Solving trolleys are primarily supplied for use on oil platforms, while
Air Film Movers are utilized for managing large and heavy components at onshore production facilities.

Transformers
Solving provides a variety of transporters for handling transformers, windings, cores, and other
parts. Air film technology is particularly well-suited for moving transformers weighing several hundred
tonnes efficiently and smoothly through production areas, test facilities, and into vacuum ovens. Air Film
Movers provide the necessary freedom and flexibility to transport complete transformers
weighing 500 tonnes or more. With electric drives and integrated batteries, these Movers can operate independently of hoses and cables when unloaded, requiring connection only when moving a
loaded steel pallet.
In some cases, wheeled Movers are a more appropriate solution. For example, telescopic wheeled
Movers have been installed to ensure the smooth handling of transformer bushings, particularly in
factories with narrow layouts.
3 reasons why
1
State-of-the-Art control systems
Our latest control system technology enables optimal energy consumption, improving efficiency and performance.
2
High-capacity, compact Mover
The low lifting height of the air bearings, combined with the compact design of the Air Film Mover, ensures that the overall height of the handling equipment remains very low.
3
No floor wear
Air bearings distribute the load over a large surface area, resulting in very low point loads.
There is no friction and, consequently, no floor wear, because the Movers float on a film of air.
Wind power
Solving provides a wide range of handling equipment for the wind power sector. Customized Solving Air Film Movers are used in the production of large and heavy wind turbines, while Automated Guided
Vehicles, AGVs, are implemented in assembly lines for wind power gearboxes and components.
We tailor our solutions to meet specific customer requirements, delivering efficient handling systems for heavy and bulky loads.

Cables
Various types of Solving Air Film Movers are installed to handle cables, cable drums or
umbilicals for heavy electrical and offshore applications. With capacities of up to 1000 tonnes or
more they allow both exact positioning and safe handling.
Nuclear
Electricity produced at nuclear power plants generates radioactive nuclear waste, and the waste
must be taken care of in a way that does not harm the environment. Solving AGVs are used in this
respect to transport disposal canisters safely in disposal facilities.

Oil /Offshore
We provide equipment for moving heavy machinery both offshore and onshore, i.e. on oil and gas
platforms as well as in facilities on land.
Solving air film Movers and modular air bearing systems (MLS) are used for flexible handling of
modules, cables, subsea pumps, and other heavy and bulky loads – either onboard oil platforms and
gas rigs or in production facilities on land.
Solving pneumatic trolleys are used mainly for exchanging large and heavy components during
maintenance on oil and gas platforms. They are specifically designed and approved for EX
environments according to ATEX in zones 1 and 2, and if required certified to meet
the safety requirements set by the offshore industry.
Solving battery-powered trolleys are certified for ATEX in zone II for category 3G, IIBT3.
Hydrogen sector
Within the hydrogen sector separation and purification equipment are produced for the process and
emerging fuels sectors supporting global decarbonization goals. Solving automated guided vehicles
(AGVs) are installed to handle such separators along an assembly line.
