Ergonomic locking devices for trolleys

Intra-logistics expert LOSYCO offers new stoppers for its LOXrail system for locking trolleys in place.

Intra-logistics expert LOSYCO offers new stoppers for its LOXrail system for locking trolleys in place. LOXrail is available in two sizes with heavy-duty, hardened, and polished rail shafts with a 25 or 40 mm diameter. The system portfolio comprises wheelsets for different payloads, standard and heavy-duty trolleys, and a range of drive concepts. The new stoppers can be easily mounted on any side of a trolley. They are designed to provide additional support for handling particularly heavy and bulky components by firmly arresting these in a designated position. The spring-loaded modules fix the transport trolleys in place with a contact pressure of around 100 kg each and compensate for minor unevenness in the hall floor. Two ergonomic foot levers are used to easily lock and release the stoppers. These mechanisms allow for keeping large components, such as machines, safely in place at various different points along the rail track throughout the stages of assembly.

Thus, the trolleys can be used as mobile assembly stations, enabling manufacturers to streamline the entire logistics processes in cycle production. LOXrail trolleys are designed for heavy payloads, with standard versions accommodating up to 40 tons. Due to their special profile, LOXrail wheels feature a very low rolling resistance, which is why even components weighing several tons can be moved manually and precisely positioned without the need for an auxiliary drive. Crossings and switches enable a flexible adaptation of the rail layout to local conditions and production lines.

LOXrail stoppers can keep heavy assemblies securely locked in place at various points on the production line.
