Transfer Shuttle

For transport mounted with powered one, two or three conveyors on top

Transfer shuttles are a good alternative to conveyors for longer transport distances or for the change in direction. For palletizing applications is a transfer shuttle with 2 or even 3 conveyors mounted on top, ideal for removal of the palletized pallet and providing the empty pallet (with bottom sheet) for the palletizing – one of the shuttle conveyors transports the empty pallet to the palletizing position, and the other shuttle conveyor removes the finished palletized pallets.

Different shuttle designs are available depending upon the capacity, pallet size & weight. The shuttle can either be driven by wheel or belt.

The complete steel frame is designed for heavy duty application, long lifetime, and minimum maintenance and our standard range of conveyors can be mounted on top of the shuttle.

Knowledge and service

Whether you’re looking for a material handling system, advanced conveyor system or robotic palletizing.

Our experienced design team analyses your application, existing and new conditions through site visits, product mix analysis, de-bottlenecking, and tailer-make a solution well suited for your new or existing production line.

When you require a higher capacity, a different product mix or a leaner production flow, we can develop the solution(s) in 3D layout for easy review of all details, interfaces, check of footprint and scope of supply.

The layout can easily be shared with end-users, operators, and specialists for exchange of experience, developing the optimum long-lasting solution.

Most projects have several possible solutions, and it is important to align the projects to meet the financial budget, designing the most cost-effective solution.

When creating projects in several steps, we always keep your end configuration in mind, this guarantee major equipment is placed correct the first time, ensuring good accessibility at the end stage.

Meeting your specification and requirement is our main objective – capacity, startup on time and meeting the budget are the key factors.

The capacity of a new or upgraded automatic system shall be met, and critical parts of the layout is simulated, using Visual Components software together with the CH designed conveyors, machines, gantry robots or Kuka industrial robots & AGV’s.

Product traceability is secured using the latest technology including 2.D barcodes, RFID tags, etc. Using Industry 4.0 technologies, we strive to build and design the most intelligent production line for your future factory.
