Why Altiscan

The most reliable and fastest crawler on the market

Altiscan inspects your storage tanks, spheres, ship hulls, and steel structures without scaffolding or rope access technicians. 7 kg on the wall, 70 kg of magnetic force. It stays where others fall off.

Adhesion 10× its weight

Military-grade magnetic wheels. سقوط rate without safety line: 1 in 1,000 tanks.

50 B-Scans per day

12 m/min speed. Up to 4 full tanks inspected per day. Ready to use in 10 minutes.

Operational everywhere

Foam, residue, rain, wind. Works on surfaces other crawlers cannot reach.

The range of the umbilical is 30 meters. Upon request, we can adapt it to your needs.

The equipment is not ATEX certified. However, thanks to the built-in circuit breaker, it can be used in such zones with an appropriate gas detector and by following the site’s safety guidelines and regulations. An optional add-on module is available, which allows the alarm triggered at the carrier (30 meters away) to be reported back to the operator’s computer and control software on the ground.
The recommended procedure in case the detector raises an alert is to secure the robot by positioning it to the side, regardless of its height, activate the circuit breaker, and evacuate the area.

Yes, we offer an equipment rental service. However, training is required before the first use to ensure safe operation.
