VertiDrive, established in 2008, designs safe, environmentally friendly and cost-effective robotic solutions. Their client base extends across many industries, such as the maritime shipping, offshore and petrochemical sectors. With a wide range of products to fit every application, VertiDrive has the solution to your surface preparation and cleaning needs. Their products help increase the safety and efficiency of your process by allowing remote operated semi-automated cleaning of large steel surfaces such as ship hulls, cargo holds, storage tanks.
VertiDrive – Magnetic Robotic Crawlers for Tank & Hull Cleaning
VertiDrive is the world‑leading innovator in magnetic robotic crawlers engineered for steel surface preparation, industrial cleaning and high‑pressure blasting. Their robots adhere to steel using a patented magnetic drive system, allowing them to move up, down, sideways and even overhead, all while operators stay safely on the ground
Engineering That Delivers Safety, Speed & Cost Savings
VertiDrive robots are designed to replace manual blasting and washing with precise, remotely operated systems that reduce risk and increase productivity. Their technology is built for ultra‑high‑pressure (UHP) water jetting, abrasive blasting, wet blasting and more. Key strengths include:
- Magnetic crawler adhesion – Robots cling to steel surfaces and move in any direction, including overhead
- Hydroblasting & UHP blasting capability – Ideal for water jetting and high‑pressure cleaning applications
- Abrasive blasting support – Wet or dry blasting for coatings, rust and heavy buildup removal
- Up to 7× faster surface preparation – Dramatically increases productivity on large steel surfaces
- Improved operator safety – Keeps workers on the ground and away from hazardous blasting zones
- Lower labor & downtime costs – Automation reduces crew size and speeds up project timelines
VertiDrive’s engineering focus is simple: make heavy‑duty industrial cleaning safer, faster and more efficient.
