Precise and safe positioning

The platform can be shifted horizontally by means of a hydraulic system, so that the klystrons can be accurately picked up. In addition, the machine is equipped with extendable stabilizers on both sides of the chassis. The stabilizers are just slightly above ground, so if the machine is in danger of tilting, the stabilizer will catch up. Also the stabilizers are hydraulically driven.
