The most powerful machines in the world at another level

Road zipper

Did you know that the average Los Angeles motorist will spend over 100 hours stuck in traffic every year? There’s simply no way to get around traffic congestion in cities during peak hours.

In saying that there is a way to ease that congestion while making motorists safer at the same time. The road zipper movable barrier system was installed on the golden gate bridge in 2015.

Since it was installed there have been no head-on collisions. Before it was installed there were over 100 between 1970 and 2015.

The road zipper carries and moves lane dividers to ease traffic during peak hours or even when parts of the road are under construction. Its undercarriage has a conveyor that lifts and moves barriers weighing almost 1,000 pounds each from one side of the road to the other. It is also incredibly fast.

Being able to move up to 10 miles of barriers in as little as an hour. One operator will sit at each end to control the road zipper and will make sure all the barriers are put in place properly. Some even have rubber feet to resist vehicle impact if the car were to hit one.

Mototok

Maneuvering and ground handling aircraft have never been the most straightforward task.

Just think about it you’re trying to tow a massive plane and you need multiple people to help with that task to make sure it ends up in the right place. But this machine Mototok is a game-changer.

It is one machine with one operator and it does all the hard work for you. Mototok is a remote-controlled machine that can tow and push an aircraft weighing up to 195 tons.

You can use it from the rear or front of the nose wheel and there is no need for tools, bolts, winches or straps. All you have to do is drive

The moto to talk to the nose wheel raise the nose wheel and secure it in place with the hydro-pneumatically operated wheel securing system. There is no need for a tow bar of any kind at any time.

When in place the nose wheel is positioned between the moto talk’s two drive wheels. Resulting in incredible ground contact pressure. Therefore it operates correctly in all weather conditions. Whether it’s raining, snowing or icy.

It can make tight turns that other ground handling systems can’t and it’s available in four different models to suit various aircraft and weight capacities.

Search and rescue equipment

No one ever wants to find themselves in a situation where they need to be rescued. But if you are in such a situation you want a search and rescue team that has some of the best machines and equipment. You may be surprised at what’s now at the average rescuer’s disposal.

They can use special cameras that both search for and detect life. There are even thermal cameras now available that seek out the heat of bodies. This type of technology proves convenient if someone is lost in dense vegetation or forestry.

Perhaps one of the greatest inventions was the seismic sensor. This piece of tech comes with wireless sensors with a 330-foot range.

You could put these sensors into say rubble and sense movements and sounds like screaming scratching and hitting. If you detect something you can then purchase a camera on a reel that’s designed to be dropped down into hard-to-reach areas to see if there’s someone down there that you need to rescue.

Dogs have long been a valuable tool to rely on in search and rescue operations. But it’s hard to deny the convenience of these new technologically advanced search and rescue machines.
