Inuktun MaggHD Magnetic Crawler Reaches New Heights

Operations & Maintenance

MaggHD™ magnetic crawler developed by Inuktun, a Canada-headquartered manufacturer of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and modular robotic systems, has recently delivered a wind turbine inspection of an 80m high tower in France.

“When you consider the options for wind turbine inspection, the MaggHD really just makes the most sense. I’m convinced of that especially after this inspection in France. The crawler held itself so well above expectations even in the windy conditions,” said Julien Massé, Business Development Manager for Inuktun Europe.

The miniature magnetic crawler is a standard product offered by Inuktun to the wind industry, both onshore and offshore, according to the company.

Brian Storie, managing director for Inuktun Europe: “Our crawler perfectly demonstrated its capabilities in performing this inspection. We believe that this highly versatile system will become a valuable resource for wind turbine inspections and many other applications.”
