Our Push-pull system with extendable prongs in action

Precise Handling in the Vertical Farm

The V-K2-70-196-2300 push-pull system with extendable prongs was specially developed for use in highly automated greenhouses, also known as vertical farms. The focus of the development was the gentle yet efficient handling of the benches, which is a particular requirement of these types of greenhouse.

Storing and retrieving trays in the food industry

In a project in the food industry, our push-pull systems with extendable prongs proved their efficiency in handling trays. These systems enable fast, reliable, and space-efficient storage and retrieval in warehouses.

Push-pull system for storing and retrieving boxes

AFB collaborated with Telogs to develop a customized push-pull system for the e-commerce company Alternate. The system was seamlessly integrated into the narrow aisles of Alternate’s small parts warehouse. Due to the system’s special design with symmetrical fork adjustment, goods throughput increased by 15%.
