Assembly Line Using Transfer Trolley with Lift Table
1.Introduction of Material Transport Shuttle
The rail transport shuttle along a fixed path loads up to 300 tons. Custom deck frames can be designed for specific assemblies to carry an entire shift of production and even serve as a stable movable machine base. These rail transfer equipment are mounted on steel rail for shuttling along a fixed path. They can be DC battery powered or AC powered. Typically used for moving materials such as steel tubes, tanks of liquids, steel coils, steel beams, machine parts from one location to another. Standard sizes from 4 x 4 to 6 x 8. Larger cart capacities and sizes are available for specific applications.
2.Application of Material Transport Shuttle
Material transport shuttle with direct lift tables usually are used in applications where precise positioning and maximum load stability are required. These units are equipped with a "ball screw" lift arrangement mounted at the 4 corners of the deck. Our lift tables are available with either hydraulic or electric power supply configurations. In addition, semi-automatic or fully automatic control systems are available which can be fully integrated into a larger control system.

7. Q&A
Will A Railway Shuttle Be A Good Solution?
Since there are many material handling solutions on the market which one is the right choice? For starters, transfer shuttles are movable platforms used for the horizontal movement of materials, assemblies, and other items. Consideration must be given to the weight of the load and the travel requirements for the application.
What Are The Advantages of Using a Transfer shuttle?
Transfer railway truck is an excellent affordable choice for the ability to handle heavy loads. The railway shuttles are compact in design and work well in areas with limited floor area. Another advantage over lift trucks is how the shuttle deck can be customized to suit specific loads.
What Product Handling Applications Use Transfer shuttles?
Coils (V-Groove deck)
Tanks (size/stability for uniformly distributed loads)
Assemblies (fixture cradle) for a complete build or to send a partially completed product to the next station (tractors, heavy equipment machinery)
Sub-Assembly shuttle from one line to another line
Maintenance cart for motors and pumps
Equipment support (stand-off deck) for navigating loads to locations with a plant facility
Material shuttle for steel tubing (flat decking with guard rails)
Elevating platform for assembly process (integrated screw-jack table)
Sand casting (flat decking)
