Patented AllRounder wheelsets for transport platforms

Losyco, expert for intra-logistics on rails, introduces patented AllRounder wheelsets, an easy-to-install solution for taking heavy loads around corners on the floor-level LOXrail system. Two rollers mounted at an angle can be rotated in opposite directions in order to realize effortless 90° turns at junction points. This enables rail layouts with linking and crisscrossing lines without the need for additional, high-maintenance shunting equipment. The time-saving and cost-efficient solution reduces the installation effort, even in halls with complex floor plans. Barriers like supporting pillars are simply avoided. The wheelset design ensures minimal friction due to the very small contact area between the rollers and the guide rail. Thereby, even loads weighing several tons can be easily moved across the rails and around corners by hand. The new solution is also useful for re-routing transport platforms back to the start of the line. Fitted with four wheelsets, the new AllRounder transport platforms for flexible maneuvering carry payloads up to 10 tons on the LOXrail 25 system. LOSYCO will adapt them to customer requirements in terms of dimensions and track widths.
