Trolley service for turbo firm

Turbo shafts are manufactured at the site using multiple machining operations carried out on different machines. Moving work-in-progress between machines can be a problem, especially if the parts cannot be easily loaded onto transporters.

MiniTec designed and assembled 16 trolleys for the customer using its 30 x 30 aluminium profile system. Each trolley can carry up to eight trays of parts with a maximum weight of 60kg, providing a simple solution to a potentially costly and time-consuming handling issue.

At the heart of the MiniTec system is the Powerlock fastening method which requires no specific preparation, pre-machining or special tools and uses standard off-the-shelf fasteners. MiniTec says this reduces the cost of the overall package of profiles and locking system compared with many other systems which incorporate brand specific locking systems.
