The ongoing project design and construction combined the know-how of
various business units at Boxtel. "In addition to components, we

Mulders. "This saved our customer a lot of work."

Ceramax coated and custom-designed hydraulic actuators were designed and manufactured at Bosch Rexroth B.V. Cylinders in Boxtel, (The Netherlands). There is a unique hydraulic interconnection of the two hydraulic actuators.

Once the tower tumbles at +/- 60 degrees angles, the oil supply occurs at the rod side because less force is needed to maintain the tumbling of the Topple Tower. The main advantage of this feature is that the tumbling
