Transfer car for the transport of beverage crates

For a customer in the beverage industry, we developed and manufactured a customized transfer car. The transfer car is equipped with an eccentric lifting device, a telescopic fork, a chain conveyor, and adjustable impact walls for load securing. The integrated chain conveyor enables fast and direct transfer of pallets with beverage crates to the customer’s conveyor system. The handover takes place either into the racking system via the telescopic fork or directly onto the customer’s conveyor system. To achieve transport speeds of up to 140 m/min, the car is pulled through the aisle by an external belt drive with a deflection station

Compact Design and Reliable Load Securing

Since we had to achieve a low front and rear approach dimension, we designed the transfer car in a compact configuration. At the same time, reliable load securing was required to prevent the beverage crates from tipping over or falling off even at high transport speeds. We developed adjustable impact walls specifically for this purpose, which securely fix the load during travel and make high travel speeds possible in the first place.

Individual Solution for Demanding Requirements

This project demonstrates how we translate complex customer requirements into a well-engineered and reliable solution. The combination of eccentric lifting device, telescopic fork, and chain conveyor enables flexible integration into existing system structures. At the same time, the specially developed impact walls ensure safe operation even at high travel speeds. Like all our solutions, the transfer car was designed for reliable continuous operation.
