Custom Manually Guided Vehicle
Overview An assembly facility in Vietnam required ten manually guided vehicles to assist in their manufacturing operations. With clear instructions on size, lift capacity, maneuverability, raised height, and customized tooling, Handling Specialty created a unique material handling solution for the advanced manufacturing industry. The units will each perform one shift per day, nine hours per shift. […]
Multi Access Positioning System
Overview Designed for strength and structural rigidity, the Multi-Access Positioning System was custom-engineered to precisely transfer loads from one rolling fixture to another during the assembly process, allowing technicians ergonomic access to the equipment while creating a safe workspace. Lagged to the purchaser’s floor, this low-duty, intermittent operation positioning system positions the load for transfer and […]
