1. What kind of terrain can the CrewMate handle?
Currently, the CrewMate can handle irregularities in the terrain (like ruts and potholes) and the variability in terrain. CrewMate works on grass, dirt, mud, slopes and rolling terrain.
2. What kind of panel arrangements can the CrewMate handle?
Currently the Crewmate can handle single portrait installation. Supporting other installation configurations are being explored and should be supported in the future.
3. What is torque tube or rack heights are currently supported?
CrewMate can support the torque tube height ranges between 5 to 7 feet. We are developing the gripper that can further ease the panel placement for taller torque tubes.
4. What is the maximum reach horizontally?
The arm has a 12’ reach radius with the base vehicle is 6’ wide, so the reach of the arm is 9’. Typically the vehicle has about 3’ of spacing to the panels installed.
5. How does CrewMate navigate?
CrewMate uses lidar to follow the pilings and torque tubes to navigate down the rows. Simply hold the “Go” button to advance the vehicle at set intervals based upon panel width.
6. Is the CrewMate available for rent, or purchase?
CrewMate will be available for on-site Demonstrations in North America starting in Summer of 2024, with rental and machine purchase preorders coming early in 2025. Please contact Moog Construction Team for Pricing and availability.
