For a gravity roller conveyor flow channel warehouse in the beverage industry, a high-performance transfer car was implemented. The infeed and outfeed of pallets are handled by separate transfer cars. This clear division of tasks ensures a continuous material flow.

High speed and precise acceleration

The transfer car is designed for high performance requirements. With an acceleration of 1 m/s² and a maximum speed of 160 m/min, pallets are transported quickly and reliably. These values enable a high pallet throughput and ensure an efficient material flow. Designing the transfer car as a towed version also ensures stable and safe movement, even at high loads and speeds.

Increased throughput – Faster truck handling

By combining high transport speed with optimized process control, the warehouse achieved a significantly increased throughput. Pallets are stored quickly and retrieved just as fast when needed. This leads to faster truck loading and dispatching – a decisive advantage in an industry where time slots are small and delivery reliability is critical.
