Case study · AFB
High-speed crate handling, made clear.
Material handling
Engineering, translated into a story.
The communication challenge
Explain how lifting, securing and transferring a load work together in one compact machine.
The visual approach
Follow the load through the handling sequence. Separating the stages makes the relationship between the lift, fork and conveyor easier to read.
The output
A 2-minute 30-second technical film covering the integrated handling sequence. Machine specifications are presented separately below.
The project
AFB developed a compact transfer car for a beverage-industry customer. An eccentric lifting device, telescopic fork and chain conveyor hand pallets over to racking or the customer’s conveyor system. Adjustable impact walls secure each load while an external belt drive moves the car at up to 140 m/min.
The animation
The 3D animation turns an enclosed handling system into a readable sequence. By following the pallet from pickup and securing through transfer, it clarifies how the mechanisms work together and why the low front and rear approach dimensions matter.
- Maximum travel speed
- 140 m/min
- Rack or conveyor handover
- 2 options
- Designed operating duty
- Continuous
Have a machine worth explaining?
