Rad Tolerant Handling Equipment
TensileTruss Technology
PAR Systems’ TensileTruss technology utilizes a custom Mobile Tool Platform (MTP) which serves as a stable platform for remotely operated tools.
Our TensileTruss application is composed of two triangular shaped platforms, upper and lower, connected by six wire ropes and positioned by six hoists. The hoists raise and lower the platform and can sustain significant horizontal loads and torque generated by tools. This rigid platform provides an ideal delivery system for remote tooling that is required in long-term projects like the dismantling of the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant.
A unique platform for the movement of materials & equipment.
Key features & benefits include:
- High side load capability
- High overturning moment resistance
- High rotational moment resistance

What is TensileTruss?
The TensileTruss is a multi-axis equipment delivery platform that is based on an inverted Stewart platform but uses cables instead of struts. It offers the ability to work in very large workspaces while providing high stiffness and 6 degrees of freedom for the lower platform that typical cranes or telescoping masts cannot offer.
