Abstract:
1. A system for positioning a transportable and relocatable equipment comprising: (i) at least four walking assemblies attached to a transportable and relocatable equipment; wherein each walking assembly comprises: (ii) a rotatable motion gear assembly disposed around the lift assembly; (iii) a motor for actuating the rotatable motion gear assembly; (iv) a pivoting collar disposed around the rod for receiving a first fluid from a controlling means and dispensing a working fluid, and wherein the pivoting collar comprises: (v) a push pull travelling system for receiving the working fluid, wherein the push pull travelling system further comprises a push pull traveling system first side secured to one side of the roller tread housing and a push pull traveling system second side disposed on an opposite side of the roller tread housing; wherein the push pull travelling system is a member of the group consisting, a set of hydraulic pistons, a set of rack and pinion system, a set of pneumatic pistons, a set of linear actuators, or a set of magnetically operable sleds, and wherein the push pull travelling system is adapted to extend a specified distance causing movement of the equipment in a first direction; vi. controlling means with a processor for receiving a second fluid from a fluid source and flows out the first fluid to the collar stationary segment and flowing a third fluid to the lift assembly enabling the walking assemblies to raise, reorient, lower, and travel of the transportable and relocatable heavy equipment in a second direction using the treads; and vii. sensor means secured to each flange in communication with the processor for providing orientation feedback from each walking assembly.
