Heavy-duty installations EMS take over the tasks of the heavy-duty forklifts

Through a process adjustment in the steel handling at a Swiss company processing steel there is necessary for the wire collies to be stored in a buffer in the raw material warehouse. This buffer consists of 13 allocation lines with 10 buffer-locations each. For the further transport of the wire collies from a location to the next one in the area of the allocation lines a transfer car operates per each line with a hydraulic lifting plate (bearing load 4 t). At the end of the lines the goods to be conveyed are picked up by a heavy-duty EMS vehicle with electrical cable pull and conveyed into the factory 1. There the vehicle delivers the goods to be conveyed again on the transfer car with a traverse path of a few meters before the material is distributed by the indoor crane to each target-establishment to be further processed.

Parameters of the establishment:
– 13 allocation lines with a total of 130 buffer-locations in the raw material warehouse
– 3 heavy-duty EMS vehicle with C-hook for the reception of the goods to be conveyed
– 9 allocation trolleys in the establishment 1
– max. transport weight: 3.200 kg
– per hour 17 wire collies are transported from the raw material warehouse to the establishment 1
