Trough platform truck for coils
Coil in an adjustable trough
A premium automotive manufacturer inquired about replacing a platform truck. The challenge was to develop a coil transporter that could safely transport coils weighing 10 t to 30 t in a trough. This design was necessary to control centrifugal forces. In addition, this trough is hydraulically adjustable for various coil diameters up to 1.90 m. A deflection lever is installed as an anti-tip device. In a large receiving hall, the coils are unloaded directly from the truck by crane. After handover, the Genkinger industrial truck starts the journey to the press. The platform truck is designed for 24/7 operation and has now logged around 8,000 operating hours—always trouble-free.
