In March of this year, STRKAN s.r.o., which designs and manufactures equipment for transport technology manufacturers, completed the installation of another set of scissor platforms for the welding shop of ŠKODA TRANSPORTATION, a.s. This set consists of a total of 16 modules assembled into two bridges of 32 m length.
The lift of the bridges is 600 – 3500 mm and is hydraulically secured. The walkway width is 800 mm with the option of extending it to 1150 mm thanks to electric driven extensions. The platforms can be controlled as a whole or individually, from the central desk or by remote control.
“So far, we have supplied scissor platform to two customers in the Czech Republic, with ŠKODA from Pilsen being their biggest user. Thanks to step-by-step deliveries and regular contact with the technology and welding shop staff, we can implement improvements on each subsequent delivery in order to increase user comfort, work safety and speed up the production process. We are very happy that ŠKODA invited us to cooperate in equipping its new welding plant. In addition to the mentioned scissor platforms, we also supplied several rotating plate positioners with a load capacity of up to 3 t for welding parts of tram cabins,” says Ladislav Tříska, CEO of STRKAN s.r.o.
