Stable base frames and superstructures can be quickly created and easily adapted from the numerous components in the item MB Building Kit System and Lean Production Building Kit System.

Many companies in the automotive and mechanical engineering industries, as well as logistics service providers, rely on tugger trains to provide material for their production just in time. These consist of a towing vehicle and several trailers, the tugger train wagons. Goods and production equipment are transported from the warehouse to their destinations in load carriers on these tugger trains. As the transported goods vary in size, weight and shape, the tugger trains need to be optimally adapted to them.

Simple construction

With its modular philosophy, Item enables the construction of stable and robust tugger trains in numerous variants. The engineering tool provides digital support for this. With the intelligent software, users can quickly and easily design specific trolleys and load carriers using item aluminum profiles, suitable connection technology and other accessories. Whether standard designs, for example for Euro pallets or mesh boxes, or individual tugger train solutions - the design program offers countless design options for base frames and superstructures. Thanks to the modular concept, the tugger trains can be flexibly extended and modified at any time. All components are coordinated and can be combined with each other.

Large selection of components

Users can put together their own customized tugger train from a wide range of components in the item Engineering Tool. For example, swivel and fixed castors from the item MB Building Kit System are available, which are characterized, among other things, by optimum rolling characteristics and a load capacity of up to 500 kg. They ensure that the trolleys run smoothly and stay on track. item offers different versions of Drawbars for connecting to each other or to the towing vehicle. This makes it possible to connect them to standard coupling systems on electric towing vehicles and driverless transport vehicles.

Other components such as stacking guides, corner guards and forklift shoes allow the frames to be adapted to different load carriers. In addition, numerous products from the Lean Production modular system are available to implement efficient material provision in line with the lean philosophy. The item engineering tool provides assembly instructions and full project documentation for all design results. After completion, the entire design can be ordered as a project via the online store.
