The construction of a forklift designed for the management of nuclear waste is a highly specialized project, dictated by the critical nature of the materials being handled.

The engineering process involves a complete redesign focused on the following key areas:

Operator Safety & Environment

• Radiation Protection: The operator cabin is entirely sealed using specialized steels to provide a robust shield against radiation.
• Shielded Glass: All windows are integrated with high-density lead-shielding glass to ensure maximum visibility without compromising safety.
• Advanced Vision Systems: For enhanced maneuvering and safety, the vehicle is equipped with dual infrared cameras positioned at both the front and rear.

Handling & Mechanical Stability

• Specialized Attachments: To handle drums, barrels, and radioactive containers securely, the forklift utilizes a custom clamp mounted on a fixed extension arm.
• Structural Reinforcement: To mitigate vibrations and mechanical stress, the axle is reinforced, and the mast is secured with a dedicated load stabilizer.
• Superior Maneuverability: A 90° steering radius allows the operator to navigate through tight spaces with ease. In these sensitive environments, this agility is a crucial advantage, reducing the need for complex maneuvers and minimizing risks during transport.
