Our push-pull systems with circulating chain in action
Efficient Retrofit Solution with AFB Push-Pull System
As part of a retrofit project, an international aircraft manufacturer selected a push-pull system with a circulating chain from AFB to modernise an existing storage and retrieval machine. The challenge was to seamlessly integrate the new system into the existing plant while continuing to use the existing load carriers.
Tailor-Made Solution for Efficient Baggage Logistics
For an international airline in Saudi Arabia, we developed a 150-1300 push-pull system tailored to the requirements of an automated high-bay warehouse. The goal: safe and space-efficient storage of baggage items in standardized metal boxes (600 x 1200 x 400 mm).
