Abstract
Aspects of the disclosure relate to methods, apparatus, and systems for replacing a drive assembly. A system includes a bogie assembly comprising a wheel and a drive assembly configured to drive the wheel to roll on a top surface of a structure. The system further includes a translating cartridge movably mounted to a side surface of the structure. The translating cartridge pivots from a first orientation to a second orientation to couple with the drive assembly and decouple the drive assembly coupled to the translating cartridge from the bogie assembly.

A system for replacing a drive assembly, the system comprising:
- a bogie assembly comprising a wheel and a drive assembly configured to drive the wheel to roll on a top surface of a structure;
- and
- a translating cartridge movably mounted to a side surface of the structure, the translating cartridge configured to pivot from a first orientation to a second orientation to couple with the drive assembly and decouple the drive assembly coupled to the translating cartridge from the bogie assembly.
A method for replacing a drive assembly, the method comprising:
- moving a translating cartridge along a side surface of a structure while in a first orientation to an unloading position underneath a bogie assembly, the bogie assembly comprising a wheel and a drive assembly configured to drive the wheel to roll on a top surface of the structure;
- pivoting the translating cartridge from the first orientation to a second orientation;
- coupling the translating cartridge to the drive assembly while in the second orientation;
- and
- decoupling the drive assembly coupled to the translating cartridge from the bogie assembly.
A system for replacing a drive assembly, the system comprising:
- a bogie assembly coupled to an underside of a movable structure, the bogie assembly comprising a wheel and a drive assembly configured to drive the wheel to roll on a top surface of a stationary structure;
- and
- a translating cartridge movably mounted to a side surface of the structure, the translating cartridge configured to pivot from a first orientation to a second orientation to couple with the drive assembly and decouple the bogie assembly comprising the drive assembly coupled to the translating cartridge from the movable structure.
