Heads and Blocks Trolley

The Heads and Blocks Trolley has been designed and manufactured for a large west midlands based automotive OEM. The Heads and Blocks trolley allows safe transportation of heads and blocks, at all stages of the machining process, for any engineering or safety purpose that requires the material handling of such parts via manual trolleys. This kitting solution transports components in a non-metal to metal environment keeping them secure during transportation. The layout of the trolley allows flexible kitting across a number of product groups. This solution is a variant of the Crankshaft Trolley.

The trolley framework will be constructed from 40mm square box section with a 25mm circular hollow section handle at one end. The handle has a dead man brake which stops the trolley from moving. The frame features plastic locators which can locate 5 different types of heads and blocks. Below this is a drain-able drip-tray which has been incorporated to capture any swarf or liquid from these parts.

The trolley is assembled with 4 off 160mm castors with blue elastic tyres and black plastic centres, 2 off swivel with brakes and 2 off fixed.

The trolley has been powder coat finished in Light Grey RAL 7037 to give a hard wearing durable finish.
