Tool moving

When injection moulding
manufacturer, McKechnie Plastic
Components, introduced tooling
weighing up to 12,000kg with a
footprint of 2m2, a new handling
solution was needed to move the
new equipment and existing
medium sized tools between the
production area and tool room.

Following detailed discussions
with the ROBUR technical team and
Stanley Handling, a dedicated
specification that would suit all
McKechnie’s tool sizes and permit
access around the site’s narrow
gangways and restricted spaces was
drawn up. The 12,000kg powered
pallet truck was designed,
manufactured and delivered in
sixteen weeks.
