Easy-to-operate, the custombuilt system eliminates manual handling, while maintaining accurate stock control.
It is designed to carry special stillages, each holding six car sets, from processing area to car door assembly area, transferring stock on a first-in, first-out basis. The area consists of 36 twin-strand chain conveyors on two levels, each capable of holding three stillages, with different sections accessed by automatic transfer cars and lifts.
