Sichelschmidt’s offshore trucks are not only wholly compliant with ex-protection directives, but are also corrosion proof and thereby resistant to salt water. Even after prolonged exposure to the corrosive elements of this environment, the component protection package enables reliable operation with no unscheduled down time. For example:
- The pistons in all the hydraulic cylinders are chemically nickel and chromium plated.
- All painted components are treated with salt water resistant undercoat or with a corrosion proof double-pack paint.
- Special seals protect components such as hydraulic valves, handbrake and other operating controls from spray water seepage.
