Full pallet transfers can be made using a wedge lift that is powered by an electric cylinder. This arrangement allows for precise vertical travel and stable support in the raised as well as the lowered positions.
Material handling equipment is grouped into four main categories: storage and handling, bulk material, industrial trucks and engineered systems. Let’s take a look at each one.
Our Crosschain systems are robust and can adapt to many industrial processes. They are especially well-suited for Bodyshop, Paintshop and vehicle-assembly lines.
Crosschain conveyors are used to move skids from one line to the next. It also allows you to create buffers between lines without affecting rates or flows.
There is a variety of manual, semi-automated and automated material handling equipment and technologies available to aid in the movement, protection, storage and control of materials and products throughout manufacturing, distribution, consumption and disposal. These include:

Conveyors and Cross Transfers HandbookGSS Machinery conveyors, cross transfer / Cross transport handlers, are made to easily adapt to different process environments and needs. This machine's adaptive design makes it very efficient for transporting large or heavy materials. It is used in both the material handling and packaging industry.
Your goods are safe in storage and handling equipment while they're not being used, or waiting for the next stage of the supply chain.
Cross transfer handlers or conveyors can transfer loads and materials at 90 degrees in the shortest amount of time. It is equipped with the right equipment and can be used to stimulate pneumatic, hydraulic or electrical transfer mechanisms.
Does your project require lateral transport? We are available to help you with all your project concerns.
Non-automated storage equipment is typically limited to those that are not automated. These items can be grouped with engineered systems. The storage equipment is used to store or buffer materials during periods of "downtimes", or when they are not being moved. These periods can be temporary pauses in long-term transport or long-term storage that allows stock to build up. Most storage equipment is made up of pallets, shelves, or racks on which materials can be stored in an orderly fashion to allow for transportation or consumption. Many companies have developed proprietary packaging to help products or materials of a particular type conserve space in their inventory. This has allowed them to increase efficiency in storage equipment.
Material handling is the movement of materials and goods from one location to another. It includes protecting, storing, and controlling the materials, from manufacturing to distribution.
The control unit can be managed by a PLC, which can be used to regulate the load transfer at 90 degrees to either of two sides or via a straight line based upon logic/sensor feedback. This allows the entire system to be fully integrated with downstream and upper-stream equipment.

System of Belt Conveyors
A belt conveyor, also known as a conveyor belt, is a simple conveyor with few features that is primarily used to transport bulk materials such as sand, salt, and grain. Its simplicity makes it simple to use and one of the most common types of conveyors.
What exactly are mechanical conveyors? Because of their dust-free and clean handling properties, mechanical conveyors are one of the most efficient methods of conveying materials. These conveyors are designed and built specifically for the product to be conveyed and are well suited to a wide range of applications across many industries.
Many industries use conveyor systems, including mining, automotive, agricultural, computer, electronic, food processing, aerospace, pharmaceutical, chemical, bottling and canning, print finishing, and packaging.
