A Transverse trolley Is a specific term for a Trolley, whose main task is the transverse transport of load units such as pallets or mesh boxes between parallel conveyor lines.
As a rail-bound conveyor element, the Transverse trolley open a load unit, move across and transfer it precisely to another line. It is essentially a mobile converter that can bridge larger distances.
Transverse trolley are a central element for distribution and collection in complex intralogistics systems. They are often used in the pre-zone of high-bay warehouses or to distribute goods over several shipping routes.
They offer a high degree of flexibility in system design and save space compared to curved designs. A single Transverse trolley can efficiently operate multiple conveyor lines, which reduces plant complexity and investment costs.
