Frequently Asked Questions
- Q1 Is it easy to maintain?
- The belts are the only consumable items. In the event of failure, the belt reel units can be replaced individually through the top of the box.
- Q2 Doesn’t dirt or water build up in it?
- During cargo work, the lid is kept adequately tight by tensile force provided by compressed air. Any water that enters it during sailing will be expelled via its drain outlets.
- Q3 Is the installation work troublesome?
- No. It’s just a matter of fastening the box to the deck and fitting up a branch tube from the ship’s compressed air tubing.
