Trolley C-rail system
BC-T40-C

Trolley C-rail systems are specifically designed for the manual, floor-free transport of heavy and bulky unit loads in production and logistics processes. They enable the ergonomic movement of loads up to 200 kg/m while maintaining a low overall height, making them ideal for confined spaces. Typical conveyed goods include components, assemblies, and load carriers. Thanks to the standardized modular system with defined switches, curves, and trolley carriages, systems can be planned quickly, realized cost-effectively, and expanded flexibly. The result is transparent, efficient, and manually controlled material flows in assembly, picking, and intralogistics.

Frequently asked questions about the trolley system

What is a trolley C-rail system?

A trolley C-rail system is an overhead conveyor system for the manual or semi-automated transport of suspended products. The conveyor technology is based on a robust C-rail with trolley carriages and is particularly suitable for heavy or bulky goods as well as for applications with limited overall height.

What applications is the BC-T40-C trolley C-rail system suitable for?

The system is particularly suitable for:

  • Textiles and clothing
  • Vehicle and body parts
  • Molds and tools
  • Bicycles
  • Medical devices
  • Bagged goods
  • Suspended workpieces

Due to its high load capacity, even heavy products can be transported safely.

What are the advantages of a C-rail system?

The trolley C-rail system offers numerous advantages:

  • High load capacity up to 200 kg/m
  • Low overall height
  • Robust construction
  • Flexible routing
  • Economical investment costs
  • Simple assembly due to modular system
  • Fast realization of conveyor lines

This makes the system particularly suitable for industrial material flows with heavy or bulky products.

Why are overhead conveyor systems used in intralogistics?

Overhead conveyor systems utilize the free space above production and work areas. This allows material flows to be realized without occupying valuable floor space. At the same time, products can be transported, buffered, stored, or sequenced.

What distinguishes the trolley C-rail system from automated overhead conveyor systems?

The trolley C-rail system was specifically developed for manual and semi-automated processes. Compared to fully automated overhead conveyor systems, it convinces with simpler technology, lower investment costs, and fast implementation. At the same time, it offers high load capacities and flexible application possibilities for a wide range of transport tasks.

Can existing production facilities be expanded with a trolley C-rail system?

Yes. The modular system allows integration into existing production and logistics processes. Conveyor lines can be extended, adapted, or adjusted to changing production requirements without extensive modifications.
