Heavy-duty rail trolleys with adjustable width

Now, the intra-logistics specialist has expanded the system to include new transport trolleys with a telescopic loading area. Heavy-duty LOXrail trolleys manufactured for a modular timber construction company are designed for load capacities of up to four tons and can be extended from 2.5 m to 4 m wide in six increments.

This allows users to pick up payloads in different sizes without changing the track width and to move them manually. The trolleys, which also serve as working platforms, feature floor brakes attached to the side of the platforms that are engaged via a pedal to ensure a secure hold. The trolleys travel on rails with a 25-mm shaft diameter.

LOSYCO has equipped them with two patented AllRounder wheelsets each to facilitate lane changes between different production lines. Two rollers mounted at an angle can be rotated in opposite directions in order to realize effortless 90° turns at junction points.

Locking bolts attached to the carriages ensure secure positioning on the turning point. This enables rail layouts with linking and crisscrossing lines without the need for additional, high-maintenance shunting equipment. Up to seven of the new heavy-duty trolleys can be connected by coupling rods to form a transport train of around 14 m in length, which employees can move by hand. At the end of the route, the 300-kg trolleys are returned by forklift.
