Quality Engineered Products, Inc. has been designing and building devices and equipment to ship, handle, up-end, and "locally" move reactor coolant pump motors for many years.
We have built:
1.) On-site transporters for moving heavy RCP motors (up to 9,000 HP) around plant sites. Usually these transporters are manipulated with either a yard tractor, dry cask airplane mover, or even plant-owned boom cranes. Transporters have been designed to accommodate equipment hatch clearances and limited crane access situations. Some transporters have been supplied with air-operated hydraulic disc brakes that tie into the towing device's air brake system.
2.) Internal support spider devices to allow large motors to be up-ended for extraction or insertion through equipment hatch doors and for transportation over-the-road.
3.) Shipping frames with built-in up-ender pedestals.
4.) Weather tight shipping containers for shipping RCP motors. These frequently include internal stainless steel drip pans, internal motor anchor points, and external DOT placard mounting locations.
5.) RCP motor storage & test stands.
