TNT developed a counterbalance beam for the installation and removal of components into or under structures where there are dimensional restrictions that prevent the use of a crane or gantry system. The TNT system is a custom-design device which offers three-dimensional control and includes enhanced safety controls to prevent load loss.
The counterweight held with a crane to assist in moving and positioning the load and controlled using a diesel powered hydraulic system. An operator maintains stability using a wireless remote. The key innovation of the TNT counterbalance beam is the use of an automated braking system for the counterweights and custom extensions. The auto set brakes prevent the counterweights from shifting and lock automatically if the beam comes out of level by 15 degrees.
