700th Moog

German underbridge inspection platform manufacturer Moog has built and delivered its 700th underbridge inspection platform.

Serial number 700 is an MBI 110, which was purchased, along with an MBL 1750, by long standing customer Wemo-Tec.

The MBI 110 can reach 7.1 metres below the bridge deck and extend horizontally by up to 11 metres - or 13 metres with the two metre extension. The 1.2 metre wide platform has a maximum capacity of 500kg/ The unit takes up just 2.5 metres of bridge lane and has an overall weight of 18 tonnes.

The larger MBL 1750 can reach 21 metres below deck and up to 17.5 metres horizontally from the same space as the smaller unit, but the all-up weight is 32 tonnes.

Moog was founded in 1980 by Alfons Moog, who died in August 2006 in a tragic accident with one of his platforms in France. His wife, Rita took over the management of the business, before handing over to Christine Moog-Ganzenmüller, one of the couple's three daughters.

Moog celebrated the delivery of its 400th unit in 2008, and while the first 400 units took 28 years to produce, it has taken just 18 years to build and sell the subsequent 300.

Wemo-Tec purchased its first Moog platform over 40 years ago and has been a regular customer ever since. It is based in Eichenzell, northeast of Frankfurt near Fulda.

Christine Moog said: “We are particularly pleased that this anniversary machine is going to our long-standing customer Wemo-Tec. Our companies have enjoyed a trusting partnership for over 40 years, which we are very proud of.”

"Such milestones are far more than just a number. They represent trust, shared successes, and partnerships that have grown over decades.”
