KINECTRICS REMOTE LIFT VEHICLE

Since late 2025, Rokion has been working with Kinectrics, a Toronto, Ontario-based nuclear engineering and lifecycle management services company, to build a custom solution for Ontario Power Generation (OGP). OPG needed an efficient way to transport heavy duty reactor equipment throughout their nuclear generating station, replacing the current method of manually towing an apparatus throughout the facility.

Our solution is the Remote Lift Vehicle, a modular, remote-controlled work platform.

The Remote Lift Vehicle includes multiple handling devices specifically designed to safely transport different pieces of equipment and is built to lift 42,000 pounds (21 tons) as high as 10.5 feet. When it isn’t handling large-scale station equipment, the unit functions as an aerial work platform with 145 square feet of available working space.

The design phase of the Remote Lift Vehicle project challenged our engineering team to apply their expertise in battery powered vehicles and heavy electric mining equipment to the nuclear power generation sector. This custom solution utilizes proven electrical control systems from Rokion’s R100 and R710. The R100’s combined Battery and Master Control Module powers and controls the entire machine, while the R710’s electric motors and planetaries drive the Remote Lift Vehicle’s four independent wheel assemblies.

The Remote Lift Vehicle marks Rokion’s first venture in supplying specialized equipment for the nuclear energy industry. As part of the project, Kinectrics conducted a thorough commercial grade survey of our facilities and confirmed that Rokion has the capabilities required to manufacture equipment for the nuclear sector. We look forward to continuing our work with Kinectrics and delivering the first of two Remote Transporters to OPG’s Pickering Nuclear Generating Station later this year.
