The award recognises the company's development of battery powered remote controlled tracked carriers, designed to transport loads of up to 4,000kg in confined spaces. The machines can operate in areas as narrow as 750mm and handle gradients of up to 45 degrees. The machines are currently operating across railway maintenance, construction, forestry operations, heritage site conservation and emergency services sectors.
