Rental welding equipment : (AGW) Automatic Girth Welder

The Ransome Automatic Girth Welder (AGW) (or 3 O’clock Welder) performs x-ray quality horizontal welds up to 20 times faster than standard manual techniques, cutting in-field welding time for storage tanks by up to 40%. Operating at speeds from 4 inches to 105 inches per minute, the AGW can handle plates as thick as 2 inches and tank diameters from the largest to as small as 30 feet. The adjustable A-frame telescopes manually to handle 6 feet to 10 feet high steel plates.

Ergonomically designed for efficiency, convenience, and accessibility. The AGW Automatic Girth Welder is available as a single-sided or dual-sided mobile welding station completely equipped with welding heads, all controls, flux support belts and flux recovery units and welding power source.

The AGW straddles the tank shell plates, riding on serrated steel drive wheels that can be adjusted for tank diameter. The AGW operator platform is a sturdy and solid workstation with guardrails and all-weather curtains for operator safety and comfort.
