Moving pallets over a public road, from production to dispatch

Cement manufacturer
Project type: Transportsystemen, Transportsystemen

Project

A cement manufacturer’s production hall and distribution centre are separated by a public road. We built a transport system that carries the pallets of cement bags over the road on a bridge, high enough for trucks to pass underneath.

Transport system

The challenge

Every pallet needed to travel from production to storage across the road. Driving them across by forklift would involve long trips and crossing a public road.

How it works

1. Up from production
A transfer car and roller conveyors bring the pallets to a hydraulic lift, which lifts them to the bridge.

2. Across the road
A roller conveyor built into the bridge carries the pallets over the road.

3. Down to storage
A second hydraulic lift brings them down on the other side, ready for storage and dispatch.

What it delivers

  • Pallets transported automatically from one side to the other
  • No forklift trips across the road
  • Traffic can pass freely beneath the bridge
