Details

Oven enclosures often do not accommodate overhead loading, and provide little space for floor-bound legs to pass underneath. This selfpropelled material handling system picks shafts from a storage cart, rotates them to a vertical orientation, and reaches forward beyond its footprint, allowing a single operator to safely and precisely handle high value aerospace components.
