(Align Production Systems: St. Louis) -- When a utility company faced transporting 120,000-lb motor housings within its facility, traditional transport solutions fell short. So the company partnered with Align Production Systems: The solution was a low-profile pallet transporter custom engineered to move high-capacity loads and fit in tight spaces.

The company’s motor housing extended below the height of standard transporters, requiring a custom equipment solution. The low clearance of the garage doors within the facility also limited the available options. To address these challenges, the company needed a flexible solution that wouldn’t compromise safety or ease of use.

In collaboration with the customer, Align’s expert engineers introduced a custom low-profile pallet transporter.

Key features include:
• High capacity: Handles loads up to 120,000 lb
• Low profile: Just 12 ¾ in. off the ground, allowing smooth movement through tight spaces
• Ease of use: User-friendly remote-control steering for easy navigation

“This transporter’s flexibility is its greatest strength. It handles anything you throw at it while navigating spaces that cranes or other solutions simply can’t,” says Blake Ringger, design engineer.

The low-profile pallet transporter has become an essential part of the company’s operations. Its remote-control system allowed operators to quickly master it from Day One. Beyond the initial motor housing project, the transporter’s multi-use capability was suitable for other heavy loads, making it a cost-effective solution.

This custom-engineered solution demonstrates how innovative design can solve industry-specific challenges, providing a safe, efficient, and flexible answer to material handling needs. The low-profile pallet transporter not only addressed the utility company’s immediate challenges but also positioned it for long-term operational success.
