Narrow Aisle Rover (NAROVR) Lifting Device
Description
2023 NED Innovation Award Finalist
The Narrow Aisle Rover (NAROVR) can go places where no other lifting device could go before, reducing cumbersome and potentially unsafe lifting operations to routine tasks. At only 24-in. wide, it can squeeze into tight spaces and with its articulating boom, thread the needle to reach into a machine door or swing to the side to pick a component around a corner. It can lift and maneuver up to 500 lb. effortlessly.
The NAROVR is a battery-powered self-propelled crane available with either a walk-behind tiller handle or optional remote joystick control. The power source is 24V DC and the drive unit offers fully-variable speed control with smooth acceleration and automatic parking brake. Lifting is electro-mechanically operated for smooth, quiet lifting operation. The mast and boom articulation functions come standard in manual free rotation but can be upgraded to electro-mechanical powered rotation as well.
This revolutionary design is a customer-driven innovation purpose-built for hard-to-reach areas and tight machine access. It improves safety and saves time over potentially haphazard rigging or manual labor that may be otherwise necessary to reach areas with limited access.
