The customized transport system

Manual transport systems: Customized cart design and mounting fixtures

CustomTrack carts are fully adapted to your requirements thanks to a tailored cart and layout design. In particular the direction change systems increase the flexibility of the transport process. There are four different types of chassis available for the change of direction.

CustomTrack: manual transport systems

Cross-type chassis

A dolly with a cross-type chassis is equipped with an additional chassis with cassettes. Compressed air cushions extend the additional chassis to permit transverse movement in crossing situations. In total, the dolly is lifted by approx. 20 mm. An external compressed air supply is required on the crossings or intake stations for this additional function. Primary use: many carts, few crossings. Advantage: the integrated lifting function is easy to expand into a transfer step for transport tasks.

Quadro-chassis

A dolly on the RoundTrack system makes it possible to manually push the component from one work area to the next. A dolly with a Quadro chassis has cassettes that can rotate in the dolly. A central lever or a single wheel pivot lever is used to make the switch. Primary use: many carts and many crossings. Advantages: extremely flat design and no external energy required for changing direction.

Flex-chassis

A dolly with a Flex chassis is equipped with an additional chassis like the cross-chassis dolly, however this chassis has fixed castors instead of cassettes. This separates the dolly from the rail, making it suitable to be used, for instance, in a simple empty dolly return concept. Advantage: makes flexible return of empty cart possible.

Without chassis

For applications that require a special cart design.

Customized transport carts

Let us develop the perfect cart for you: from consultation through design to production. The carts are customized for your processes and the transported products. Flexible factors include the cart design, load accommodation, track gauge and direction change technology. Various direction changing systems permit even complex travel paths.

Moving heavy loads with Mover

Your CustomTrack cart can also be equipped with lifting tables, rotary devices and many other accessories. One of these equipment options is the MoviMax: This moving system allows a single person to move weights of up to 25 t. Pushing and pulling transport is possible. The MoviMax is an economic alternative to fixed or automatic drives. We would be glad to help you find ideas for your CustomTrack.

Optional change of direction

Crossing elements (90°)

Cross chassis in the cart or turning stations integrated in the floor allow the transport carts to change direction easily. This makes it possible to reach any position on the job site. The cross chassis enables a change of direction in combination with crossing elements. The crossing element is installed together with the RoundTrack. Preferred use: few carts and many crossings.

Quadro turnstile (90°)

The RoundTrack crossing consists of individual quadro switches. The cassettes in the carriage are mounted on swivel bearings. In the case of a passive quadruple switch, the changeover is made by a manual switch lever or a swivel drive in the carriage. In the case of active quadruple points, the direction is changed by pneumatically driven quadruple points in the floor. Preferred use: many carriages with few crossovers, without inclines and without orientation changes. The advantage over the cross trolley: very low overall height of the trolley.

Turning station (0-360°)

The turning stations are manufactured individually according to the track width and cart size. The floor level turning stations can be turned manually or by automatic drive, as a result the orientation of the product is also changed. Preferred use: many carts, few crossings on inclined tracks or when changing orientation.

Handling of heavy loads with MoviMax

For the movement of dollies up to a total weight of 25 t on the Strothmann RoundTrack. Enabled the easy handling of heavy loads by one person. The transportation of the loads can be performed by pulling and pushing.

Economic alternative to fixed installation respectively automated drives

Economic alternative to fixed installation respectively automated drives
Handling by only one person
One drive for several dollies ”pulsing“ in series connection possible
Sensitive drive for precise positioning of the dolly
Bright drive roller prevented soil pollution
Low-maintenance

Special control (e.g. two person handling / safety concepts, if the route is not visible through the operator of the strothmann movimax)
