Workpiece carrier systems
Perfect solutions for heavy tasks
Skid Conveyor is an extremely robust double-track heavy-duty transport system that has been specially developed for the in-house transportation of large loads.
The system offers optimum solutions for designing your transport line and cycle-independent provision of products at testing and processing stations. Thanks to its stable design, it enables precise and safe transportation even with weights of over 2000 kg.

Many possibilities
With its modular design, the heavy-duty transfer system forms the ideal link between logistics and automation.
This allows us to implement efficient solutions in the shortest possible time to solve your individual transport task. Last but not least, the standardized modules guarantee problem-free expansion even years later. The track modules are just as modular as the numerous add-on parts. This means that your new interlinking system grows with the task at hand.

Chassis & Drive
The Basis
The Skid heavy-duty transfer system impresses with its heavy-duty sheet steel chassis, which forms the torsion-resistant base and can easily handle transport weights of up to 2,000 kg.
All skid conveyor modules have a powerful three-phase geared motor that drives the timing belt drive and drive shaft and provides the necessary torque. The low-maintenance system ensures the safe and precise transportation of large load carriers and enables gentle product transport in your production.
Product examples
The modular system of the Skid Conveyor workpiece carrier system has four practical components to optimize your production. With their help, we plan and design perfect transport routes, always tailored to the transport task at hand.
Track module
Modular structure, individual design
Like all modules of the heavy-duty transfer system, the track modules impress with their robust and low-maintenance design.
A drive shaft enables double-sided drive, which ensures maximum accessibility between the tracks. This means that service and maintenance work, for example, can be carried out easily and quickly.
To meet the highest demands, the carrying rollers and lateral guide rollers can be supplied with a Vulkollan® coating on request. This high-performance material provides wear protection, damping and low noise levels.and contributes to low noise levels. The low-maintenance timing belt drive also impresses with its particularly low-noise operation.
Docking station
Loading made easy
The docking station of the heavy-duty transfer system is used to manually infeed workpiece carriers weighing up to 2000 kg.
The hard-wearing hardened steel sliding guides ensure simple and precise loading of the conveyor line. Whether with pallet trucks, forklift trucks or AGV industrial trucks - thanks to the excellent accessibility of the docking station, the loading processes are always designed to meet your individual requirements.
Turning station
For maximum planning freedom
The turning station of the Skid Conveyor heavy-duty transfer system can be used to realize any track layout.
The turning station enables precise rotation and alignment of the workpiece carrier. Of course, the rotary unit also has mechanical locking systems on the infeed and outfeed sides, making the system a safe application. Last but not least, the compact design ensures efficient use of space and maximum planning freedom for your transport line.
Corner converter
Efficient change of direction in tight spaces
The skid conveyor transport system enables an efficient change of direction with the help of the corner converter module, which allows the material flow to be optimized even in the smallest of spaces.
The workpiece carriers are raised and lowered almost silently using a low-maintenance timing belt drive, which enables flexible track layouts and compact planning. This means that workpiece carriers can be discharged crosswise if required by the production process or the desired accessibility.
Example of use
The application example shows a compact layout with four corner converter modules. Workpiece carriers can be buffered on the outfeed lanes and then set ready for further processing.
Lifting/lowering station
For absolute positioning accuracy
For precise positioning at testing and processing stations, the workpiece carrier can be placed on an indexing unit using the lifting/lowering station.
In this way, the workpiece carrier is completely decoupled from the conveyor system. This allows you to achieve maximum positioning accuracy for your workpieces and products for further processing. A low-maintenance timing belt drive also ensures virtually noiseless lifting and lowering of workpiece carriers weighing up to 2000 kg.
Alternative
With full-length steel rollers
Instead of the double-track roller conveyor, we also offer continuous steel rollers with a diameter of 80 mm and a wider contact surface.
The workpiece carriers can be guided laterally either via coated guide rollers, fixed sliding guides or flanged wheels located directly on the rollers. Of course, we also offer a rubberized version of the continuous steel rollers on request.
Change direction and transfer out
The compact heavy-duty corner transfer unit is available for efficient directional changes of weights up to 1,000 kg. Integrated into the roller conveyor, a robust support chain conveyor takes over the cross transport. This is moved into the working position via an electric motor-driven lifting function.
