Copperloy Creates Custom Material Handling Equipment for Moving Rebar
The Latest Custom Material Handling Equipment Home Run by Copperloy
At Copperloy, there are few things we love more than hearing from a prospective client who has a unique and difficult problem with some facet of their logistics or material handling, and then delivering the perfect tailor-made solution with a start to finish custom design and build with our in-house team of engineers.
The latest custom material handling equipment home run from our expert engineering team was a heavy duty, 40,000 pound capacity steel pallet. The pallet was for a client in the mining and tunneling industry who needs to haul a great deal of rebar to support their tunneling. A 40,000 lbs steel pallet isn’t something you see everyday and engineering one to safely handle those loads is no small task.
For this client, no rebar means no tunnels, and no tunnels means no mining. And when it’s an inefficient, unsafe or costly mechanism to transport those supplies, the entire process slows to a crawl, hurting the business’s output. Increasing the efficiency of transporting their rebar means big increases in productivity and output.
Yet, they had never been able to find the right equipment to move the rebar safety with a palletized system that could handle the weight of all of that steel. Our engineers coordinated with theirs, and the result was a robust steel pallet with a massive 40,000 lb. capacity, in both 13-foot and 26-foot sizes to accommodate different environments and needs.
We specialize in outside the box designs just like this, and we have with the technology, know how and equipment to pull off successful construction and completion.
