MATERIALS HANDLING New heavy handling Technology

Transporter technology revolutionises heavy manufacturing and assembly operations across industries as diverse as gas and steam turbine manufacturing, aircraft assembly lines, shipbuilding, and nuclear-spent fuel storage. Increasingly complex manufacturing needs Wheelift's heavy load transporters as the preferred solution for loads ranging from 40 to 200 tonnes or more. The Wheelift difference is rooted in multiples of individually powered and controlled wheel modules that provide otherwise unobtainable  handling flexibility. The transporters can cross a wide range of surface irregularities (including grating, drains, in-floor rail systems, open expansion joints, roadway chuckholes, and ramps that are common in most old and new assembly plants). This is made possible with entirely new technologies in omni-directional, self-loading, synchronous steering transporters that provide effortless travel in confined spaces and are capable of precision alignment in all planes to  accuracies as small as 0.001" when facilitating critical load movement and precision placement.
