Reference # : Model No : KT-30 & KT-15
KT-15 and KT-30 are track mounted mobile telescopic boom type machines that can be equipped with a variety of head attachments to perform dismantlement or demolition work. Both equipment can be powered by electricity or diesel fuel. During the demonstration at Florida International University - Hemispheric Center for Environmental Technology, the KT-30 with a UP6 cutting shear dismantled I-Beams, pipes, barricades, drainage pipes and pipe hangers from a concrete structure. As the metal structures were being cut, the KT-15 also equipped with a shear, held pieces that were being cut and safely removed them to a designated location. Once this operation was complete, the UP6 cutting shear was replaced by an oxygen lance manipulator attachment. The KT-30 then cut a steel plate, tank, and shaft with magnesium oxygen lance rods while KT-15 was holding the pieces and safely removed them to a designated location. Two operators operated the KT-30 and KT-15 respectively through two hand-held pendant boxes. In addition, a poured concrete structure was demolished by the KT-30 with a UP6 cutting shear and the KT-15 with a hydraulic hammer simultaneously.
Dimensions of Tech Model (LXWXH):
KT-30: 19'3" X 6'10.5"X7'11"
KT-15: 15'5"X4'9"X5'4"
Weight of Tech Model (lb):
KT-30:26,000 lbs
KT-15:12,000 lbs
Benefits
-Designed for tough demolition projects, the equipment has powerful and well-protected hydraulics.
It has the ability to handle an attachment in excess of 3,000 lbs and still remain mobile working on track, making it a robust,versatile, and reliable machine.
-Remote control system protects worker safety
-Generates no secondary waste
-KT-30's unique, double pivot design keeps the overall profile height low (7'11") but unfolds for maximum reach when needed.
-The equipment has been tested and used extensively in industrial sector.
-The vendor is able to design, manufacture and ship customized attachments in approximately 3 weeks.
Limitations
-Use of magnesium oxygen lance generates a considerable amount of potentially hazardous smoke.
-Respirators need to be used, especially when operation is conducted in a confined space area.
-The size of the equipment does not allow its use in an extremely confined space area.
