Cross Site Transport (XST): Supply of Tugs, Trailers and Battery Charging Units.

Magnox Ltd decommissioning sites are required to retrieve, package, condition and store various Intermediate Level Waste (ILW) types. This process includes the delivery of waste storage containers to the sites, storage of the empty containers prior to use, filling the containers, processing of waste, waste encapsulation and storage of filled packages. This requires the use of package handling and cross site transportation equipment to load and off-load, and to move the packages between areas. The scope involves manufacturing design and supply of XST tugs (up to 5), trailers (up to 8) and battery charging units to transport waste packages on private roads around sites as well allowing waste operations with the waste container left on the trailer. The XST constitutes a low speed industrial type towed and towing vehicle for secured and unsecured load and will comprise a battery powered electric tug unit with a separate trailer fitted with failsafe pneumatic brakes.
