Vehicle transport - Import export

The storage and retrieval vehicle is used for storing ULDs in racking. Equipped with a lift, the Elevating Transfer Vehicle transports ULDs vertically and horizontally at the same time. It is guided by rails which also supply the power needed. Flow plane: Horizontal and vertical Flow direction: Unidirectional Functions: Transporting, storing and retrieving ULDs Operating modes: Fully automated, semi-automated, maintenance Benefits: Three-dimensional handling Space-saving Minimal adjustments to make onsite A safe way to transport ULDs with care IATA-compliant transportation of ULDs

The transfer vehicle is used for transporting cargo horizontally on a single level. The individual loading units are moved on and off the racking by interconnecting the integrated roller conveyor with external roller decks. As well as transporting ULDs which take up the entire surface of the roller deck, it is possible to transfer two containers simultaneously. Flow plane: Horizontal Flow direction: Unidirectional Functions: Transporting, storing and retrieving ULDs Operating modes: Fully automated, semi-automated, maintenance Benefits: A safe way to transport ULDs with care IATA-compliant transportation of ULDs

Cost-efficient transport between floors The vehicle lift CARRICO is an interesting alternative to the TRAFFICO when lower lifting heights and less frequent use are needed. The CARRICO has been type-tested in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. The conveying speed is limited to 0.15 m/s. Furthermore, this car lift is delivered with automatic sliding doors and cabin equipment designed for the transport of vehicles and passengers. Functions of the components Door type: automatic sliding door (depending on the cabin width - 4- or 6-leaf) Entrances: front only / through Control: Control unit with micro-processor with extensive control functions Drive: Submersible hydraulic unit incl. screw spindle pump Advantages Saves on construction space as no ramp required Especially suitable for narrow shafts Cost-effective way to transport cars Easy to operate, manual hinged doors

Palletless automated car parking system CUBILE Palletless technology The palletless fully automated car parking system CUBILE is a perfect solution for creating from 50 to over 1000 parking spaces. As no pallets are used for transporting cars, the system is very fast and efficient. Drivers park their car at ground level in one of the entrance cabins and receive a parking ticket. The cabin is the only interface between the driver and the car park. From this point everything is automatic. The cabin’s rolling gate closes and the car is transported below ground in a lift before it is collected by one of horizontal transfer vehicles and brought to a free parking space. In the palletless parking system CUBILE, the Lödige Shifter does the heavy lifting. This is an ultra-flat robot that drives underneath the car and lifts it up at the wheels to take it from the lift to the transfer vehicle and transport it to the parking space.

Novelis continues to accelerate the development of its innovative aluminum transportation materials to expand global product offerings for more sustainable buses, trucks, trailers, trains and other forms of commercial transport. Aluminum-intensive vehicles are not only up to 40 percent lighter than those made with steel, they are also safer and more durable. Given their unique properties, aluminum transportation materials continue to emerge as the material of choice for the industry. Manufacturers rely on aluminum’s many benefits, including diverse application development for electric vehicles and emerging mobility demands, superior energy absorption for crash management products and safety, and greater design flexibility due to strength, joining and formability properties, enabling better driving dynamics and vehicle agility.

The large maturing store is for storing and maturing the boards. The fully automated system with aisle vehicle and accompanying satellites is responsible for the stack transport. The aisle vehicle moves the stack in one direction and the satellites assume the task of transporting them into the rack aisles. The size depends on the required storage capacity and on local circumstances. The aisle vehicles are responsible for transfer movements, the satellites pick the stacks up or move them into the individual aisles.
