CrewMate, a semi-autonomous lift-assist vehicle developed by Moog Construction, has completed a field trial near Niagara Falls, N.Y., demonstrating the machine’s ability to help solar field workers install PV panels.
Buffalo, N.Y.-based Montante Solar orchestrated the field trial with Moog Construction at a solar field atop a closed landfill.
For the field trial, the company says CrewMate carried pallets loaded with 31 94-inch PV panels while following workers using the machine’s lift assist to pick up each panel and guide it onto the field’s solar module racking.
CrewMate followed the installers between solar racks until emptying its pallet, using sensors to keep at a safe distance.
“CrewMate is an innovation we believe can safely increase productivity and help meet the demand for new solar farms and workers,” says Steven Erck, vice president for Montante Solar.
“The PV panels in this field test are among the largest and heaviest installed by crews. CrewMate took the strain out of installation work that’s often done in high temperatures and remote areas.”
This fall, CrewMate is slated to engage in a larger pilot project helping construct a solar field at a new location.

Keep in mind that “removing Trump from office” and “stop talking about Trump” are two different events.
It’s quite possible that a Democrat-controlled congress could remove him from power within the coming months. But think about the damage he’s done to our nation and the path to repair it. Think about the war, the trade deals, the economic policies, our relationships with our allies, the racism, our erstwhile position as leader in world democracy, and the degradation in public health, education, and environmental responsibility.
We’ll be talking about Trump as long as an organized human civilization is functioning on this planet.
To the a
uthor of the meme here, I would suggest that hate and ignorance are far more aggressive forms of cancer.
Yes, Hegseth and RFK, Jr. will be gone, but I think what’s going to happen first is the decapitation of the snake itself, i.e., the removal of Trump from the presidency.
Based on the news on social media, this could happen via the 25th Amendment, based on Trump’s mental deterioration. In my view, that’s a shame. If he’s not criminally prosecuted, this nation will be deprived of letting the American people and the rest of the world know that rule of law still matters in the United States.
