Innovation in video: remote driving of a VOLVO truck equipped with a bulk tanker

 

Listening to its customers, VRAC PLUS is always looking for innovations. Last week, Mr RECH, one of our Aveyron transporter clients, took possession of a unique set.

Our client, already equipped with a VRAC PLUStanker, was looking to easily position the recovery screw of his tanker without having to get off and on from his cabin. The recovery screw allows the recovery of feed in breeding easily and above all with a high flow rate.

Thanks to the dialogue between the radio control and the electronic interface of the chassis, driving the vehicle is possible outside the cabin: acceleration-deceleration, braking, parking brake, steering control, reverse, engagement of the power take-off... The positioning of the wearer is done in complete safety with respect to the external environment.

Our design office worked on the relay of the tank functions: lifting, orientation of the screw, stopping and restarting of the screws, etc. All the functions already present on the usual radio control. This radio control complies with safety requirements and compliance with Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, in particular the requirement for an emergency stop on the radio control.

 

 

The gain for the driver is directly perceptible: greater safety and ease of implementation.
