Special machines

When standard is not enough

Transfer cars, conveyor modules and customer-specific machines. All from the same modular system, which is why they are quick and affordable.

Customer-specific machines

Special applications from the modular system

With decades of experience in storage technology, a wide range of special applications emerges quickly and cost-effectively from our existing modular range.

For stored goods across the most varied weight classes and dimensions, for different heights and throughput requirements, we develop, produce and install cost-optimised storage systems and see them through to commissioning. On request we take on the maintenance afterwards.

Transfer car

Distributing where throughput matters

The main task of our transfer car is the throughput-critical distribution and allocation of pallets or totes in internal material flow. Above all it feeds the P&D stations of our storage and retrieval machines with goods waiting to be stored.

  • roller or chain conveyor, telescopic forks or special load handling devices
  • payload 2 × 1,500 kg
  • friction wheel drive or towed design
  • optionally with a lifting or tilting mechanism
  • machine control as an option

Lift

The way up

Wherever levels have to be connected, the lift takes over: it picks the load up from the conveyor, raises it to the required height and hands it over again. That saves the floor space a ramp or an inclined conveyor would need.

  • for totes and pallets
  • payload up to 1,500 kg
  • mast and drive technology from the storage and retrieval machine range
  • lifting belt instead of steel wire rope: no re-lubrication, no rope changes
  • transfer to roller or chain conveyors
  • machine control as an option

Conveyor modules

The route between the machines

Our conveyor modules work in a loop, as an intermediate buffer and as a transfer station for the downstream storage and retrieval machine warehouse. They are modular in design and can be combined into the layout your material flow needs.

  • chain conveyors, roller conveyors, pallet transfer units, lifting stations, turntables
  • drive with integrated frequency converter
  • central power supply and control
  • speed up to 0.5 m/s
  • payload up to 1,500 kg
  • machine control as an option
