SPECIALLY RIGGED FOR DRUM RETRIEVAL
October 1st 2004

BNFL Environmental Services problem of safely retrieving 10 500 partially corroded drums of uranium oxide and repacking them into new stainless steel overpack drums has been resolved with a special rig designed and built by B&B Attachments.

The equipment had to be such that it could be used with a Still forklift truck.

Components included a special mast with upper and lower lift, a sideshifting extender connected to a higher lift that can reach out to 2300mm and semi automatic drum tongs connected to the end of the extender. A Kaup 2T415 sideshifting drum clamp with special rubber arms is connected to the lower lift. The forklift is fitted with two cameras and split monitors.

John Miller, project manager for BNFL, says B&B Attachments has used its know-how and ingenuity to resolve a problem. During trials, the rig worked exactly as we had hoped and we have no doubt it will help provide us with a seamless operation for retrieval, remediation and removal of this historic material.
