Intralogistics specialist Losyco has presented system extensions for the Loxrail conveyor rail range. These enable the flexible and efficient handling of assemblies and machines weighing several tons in the production process, for example with a steerable transport platform and integrated brake for the conveyor rails: A mechanical steering system mounted on the underside of the platform enables heavy, bulky loads of up to ten tons to be turned and aligned on the rail, even without a compressed air or power supply.
