Heavy-duty transporter
28 January 2015
A heavy-duty transporter system designed and installed by Sidetracker Engineering is providing, Bright Steels, a leading UK steel producer with safe, efficient transportation of loads weighing up to 12t within one of its North Yorkshire warehouses.
The Sidetracker transporter has been designed to carry completed orders from the preparation to the despatch area, reducing the use of lift trucks in the busy warehouse. It runs on a 38-metre-long dedicated rail track at the side of the warehouse, and incorporates flanged wheels and pressure-sensitive buffers to ensure safe operation.
The equipment has a load-bearing deck measuring 4000mm x 1200mm with supports that hold loads securely in place and is controlled by an operator with a wireless hand-set.
