RoundTrack alternative to cranes and forklifts

Originally developed for easy press die change, the solution is now used in various industries, for instance, to convey wind turbine generators, transformers that weigh several tons, and various kinds of machines.

In contrast to other rail systems, RoundTracks are not mounted on the floor but embedded, allowing for the passage of small wheel pallet trucks, cleaning machines, etc.

Further advantages include minimal rolling resistance which results in a very low power demand. The modular system comprises floor rails in three sizes with a range of crossings, standard and customized trolleys, and drive technologies such as Strothmann’s proprietary intermittent drive system or direct drives integrated in RoundTrack carts.

The RoundTrack system prevails over overhead cranes or forklift trucks as a solution for establishing transparent, efficient, and safe production flow, says the company.
