Material shuttles optimize intralogistics by delivering components directly to the workstation, reducing walking distances and setup times. Available in two variants, from multi-level workstation designs to minimalist logistics carts, they adapt to different load requirements and production scenarios. Fully configurable with ergonomic adjustments and optional ESD capability for sensitive manufacturing areas.
Efficient material supply is essential for lean production workflows, especially in Kanban-based environments. Material shuttles bring components directly into the operator's grab area, integrating into existing workstation systems or operating as standalone units.
The Material Shuttle Workstation features a multi-level design that accommodates both light and heavy loads in various configurations. Optional height-adjustable, movable, and tiltable material levels provide ergonomic flexibility. An optional information board offers greater transparency. Available in ESD versions for electrostatically sensitive areas, it provides a flexible alternative to permanently installed material supply systems.
The Material Shuttle Logistic Basic is customizable in features and dimensions, ideal for efficient C-parts supply and manual material logistics between workstations, supermarket shelves, and production cells. Features ergonomic adjustable material levels (height, tilt, offset) with labeling clips and retractable panels. Ball-bearing swivel casters with locking mechanism ensure mobility and stability. Available in ESD-compliant versions, delivered fully assembled or as a self-assembly kit.
Material Shuttle Logistic high units optimize logistics by enabling C-part supply directly at the workstation and efficiently linking workstations or supermarket racks with production islands. Their configuration and dimensions are customizable, and ESD-conductive versions are available for sensitive areas. They offer flexibility, whether supplied fully assembled or as a self-assembly kit. An optional information board supports on-site data provision. Ergonomic access is ensured by material shelves that are adjustable in height, offset, and tilt; the "Basic" shelves are available with labeling clips and a choice of panel materials. Ball-bearing swivel casters with locks ensure both mobility and stability.
The two-tier "Logistic Economic" material trolley is specifically designed for medium-duty applications and offers an ergonomic solution for material supply. The height, offset, and tilt of the material shelves are adjustable, enabling optimal, fatigue-free access to materials. For use in sensitive areas, it is also available in an ESD-conductive version. The shelves are made of robust PP or SB (ESD) material, while rubber-tired swivel casters with locking brakes ensure flexible maneuverability and stability.
Our material carts and stations, based on the EcoShape tubular framing system, are the answer to the dynamic demands of modern production environments. Not only are they 30% lighter than steel, but thanks to innovative connection technology, they are also extremely robust and designed to handle high dynamic loads. Plan your custom logistics solution in record time using our MTpro software, or choose from proven standard models.
