Solution

Project REF: AD-2141-2022-04-2 / 11571-P7

Our solution is an essential tool in the automotive industry, precisely crafted to move large, fragile, and heavy car panels—including doors, fenders, hoods, bumpers, and other exterior body parts—safely and efficiently. Designed for environments like automotive manufacturing plants, and assembly lines, these trolleys are engineered to protect delicate panels from damage while making transport and handling easier. By preventing potential scratches, dents, or other imperfections, they help maintain the quality and appearance of vehicle panels, contributing to a smoother and more organised production or repair process.

Customising panel trolleys for the automotive sector, particularly in supercar production, is essential for addressing the unique challenges and demands of this high-performance industry. These tailored solutions enhance quality control, improve workflow efficiency, support worker safety, and ultimately contribute to the successful manufacturing of top-tier vehicles. By ensuring that trolleys meet the specific needs of automotive processes, manufacturers can maintain high standards of quality and productivity, securing their position in a competitive market.

The kitting supports are a specialised tool used in automotive manufacturing, assembly, and repair to safely and efficiently handle, transport, and store large car panels. Key benefits include:

1. Enhanced Protection: Protective padding and secure design prevent scratches and dents, reducing damage risks.
2. Efficiency and Productivity: Allows multi-panel transport, centralising panels to save time and boost workflow on assembly lines.
3. Organisation and Space Optimisation: Dividers keep panels organised, optimising floor space and improving access.
4. Worker Safety: Ergonomic design and lockable wheels enhance safety and reduce injury risks.
5. Versatility: Adjustable features accommodate various panel sizes and types, making it adaptable to different vehicle models.
6. Cost Savings: Minimises repair and labor costs by reducing panel damage and waste.
7. Quality Control: Standardises handling to maintain high-quality standards.

The supports are not limited to the automotive industry, they are versatile tools designed for handling large, flat, and delicate materials. This could include aerospace and aviation, electronic manufacturing, and the renewable energy sector. The importance of versatility in trolleys across multiple industries lies in their ability to provide cost savings, maximise asset utilisation, streamline operations, and enhance safety. By being adaptable to various applications, these trolleys not only support operational efficiency but also allow companies to remain competitive in an ever-evolving marketplace. This versatility ultimately contributes to improved productivity, reduced waste, and enhanced overall performance across sectors.
