Custom solutions to transfer materials and components between departments and points of use. Towing carts are configured considering load, route, coupling method and compatibility with the towing vehicle.
Transferring materials between production points requires considering distances, quantities to be moved and frequency of trips. When the route involves several departments, the cart configuration must be assessed together with manoeuvring space and loading and unloading methods.
Towing carts for internal handling can be coupled in sequence to form a logistics train, according to the intended configuration. The project considers the material transported, total load, couplings and the vehicle used for towing.
The design goal is to develop a system consistent with the route and with how transfers are organized. The assessment starts from start and end points, passages, curves, flooring and conditions of use.
Configuring a logistics train requires assessing each cart as part of the system. Couplings, wheels and steering geometries must be considered in relation to the route and the towing vehicle.
To assess a system of towing carts, it is useful to know the dimensions and weight of the load, the quantity of material to transfer and the frequency of trips.
The route is just as important: width of passages, curves, flooring and any level differences affect the assessment. If a tractor is already available, its characteristics and the coupling system must be shared with the technical team.
This information makes it possible to explore the configuration and identify the aspects to verify before the project is defined.
Transferring materials between distant production buildings, along a route that connects separate departments.
Carts fitted with a tow hitch and fifth wheel, coupled in sequence to form a logistics train towed by an electric shuttle or an industrial tractor.
The transfer between buildings is carried out with carts coupled in sequence and towed by a single vehicle.
Tell us which materials you need to transfer, between which points and how often.
If you already have a towing vehicle, tell us its characteristics: they will help us explore the internal handling system to be assessed.
Describe the load, the route and the transfer methods. You can attach photos, drawings or a floor plan to make the request clearer.
Useful information: weight and dimensions of the load, points to connect, frequency of trips and towing vehicle available.
