Soco Systems - Transfer trollies for chain conveyor

• Moving empty pallets from a magazine to multiple loading stations.
• Transferring full pallets from various production lines to a central conveyor system.
• Diverting pallets between different processing or storage areas within a facility.
• Integrating with automated palletising or de-palletising systems.

Typical load capacity

Typically designed for palletised loads, commonly ranging from 500 kg to 2000 kg for this class of equipment.

Conveyor type compatibility

Can be fitted with driven roller conveyors or chain conveyors, depending on the specific application requirements.

Power supply

Commonly operates on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with control voltage often 24V DC.

Running mechanism

Runs on rails, which are typically fitted into or mounted on the floor.

Safety features

Standard units commonly include safety bumpers that trigger an immediate stop upon contact.

Footprint considerations

Requires clear floor space for rail installation and operational travel path, with dimensions varying significantly based on pallet size and travel distance.

• What types of pallets can these trolleys handle?

  These trolleys are generally designed to handle standard industrial pallets, such as Euro pallets or UK standard pallets. Compatibility with specific pallet dimensions and materials should be confirmed with the seller.

• How are these transfer trolleys controlled?

• Can these units be integrated into an existing conveyor line?

• What maintenance is typically required for these trolleys?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer units?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
