View of a roller truck with an overhead power line moving on rails.The truck is designed to reach a speed of 80m/min. It is used to pick up or put down a load and move it between different transport lines and, in turn, deposit it on a fixed conveyor for purposes of picking or leave it ready for despatch.
The unit comprises a mobile chassis made of electro-welded tubing and linked to machined plates in order to fix the transmission for the truck’s movement. The power group has 4 vulcanised wheels with axles and bearings supporting the chassis. It is fitted with 2 flanged wheels to guide the truck along the guide system on the floor.
View of the truck unit with rollers moving on rails.The guide rail system for the movement is in the form of a U-shaped rail. At the ends of the rails are cellulose buffers for safe stopping.
Electric power to the truck can be supplied in two ways, by a closed 40 amp power line or by a cable chain.
On the mobile chassis a roller or chain conveyor is fixed which transfers the load to other fixed conveyors.
