In depth

The milkrun dollies for Material Handling are ideal for moving goods within the office, warehouse or various production departments and adapt to any production sector. Different models are available, suitable for different needs. Particularly robust, they have a capacity ranging from 250 Kg up to 1000Kg depending on the type.

The choice of the suitable trolley allows to maintain better ergonomics during loading and unloading operations and consequently a reduction in the risk of accidents due to the movement of heavy loads. They also favor a faster handling of goods thanks to the optimization of spaces allowing savings in time and costs.

 The Dolly trolleys, in their various versions, are equipped with a drawbar with a quick-coupling chaining pin: the drawbar with a pin is hooked to the connection plate that guides the pin in position, with a single action. The coupling remains stable until the operator, with his foot, unlocks the rudder by pressing it slightly downwards.

 The Dolly can be used for the handling and storage of the material together with the Adaptor Pallet on which they are safely housed thanks to a special block.

Taxi Wagon, Taxiliner, LiftLiner and Carrymore complete the transport needs on long internal routes by providing solutions in which it is possible to load trolleys, generally specific for each single model, so that they are lifted from the ground. Advanced technology allows these new "wagons" to tilt to accommodate or unload trolleys; wheel rolling noise is significantly reduced, bending radii are improved, a production environment without the use of a forklift is promoted.

 LOAD

The material in the warehouse is loaded onto linked Dolly Pallet trolleys that allow a single handling for a lot of material, or directly transported, if housed on the Dollies previously stored on the Adapter pallet, which are unloaded and hooked together thanks to the rudder and quick linkage pin.

 PRODUCTION

The material transported by the milkrun is brought into production and assigned according to the FiFo logic. The FiFo method represents the object storage mode in which the first object introduced is the first to exit. It is logical and rational to use the FIFO method in the logistic flow as the first goods or raw materials arrived must be the first to be consumed to avoid obsolescence or expiration.

 MILKRUN

The finished material is integrated into the collection milkrun in an easy way thanks to the drawbar with coupling with full compatibility between the various models.

PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT

4 forklifters need 4 trips to get the work done. 4 dollies in milkrun configuration need just 1 trip to get the work done.

Supplier process 

From the production line products are placed in plastic containers (KLT) on the dollies.		Dollies are linked together like a train and transported to a first storage area.
The Adaptor pallet is loaded with 4 Dollies uploaded through the forklift on the truck.

Customer process 

The Adaptor pallets are delivered in the warehouse of the customer input.		The products are placed in the warehouse: the Dolly at the bottom, while the Adaptor Pallets with spare components in the upper zone.
Dollies are taken from warehouse and brought to the workstation.		In the station assembly products are extracted by KLT containers and used. The Dolly with the KLT is raised to a ergonomic height thanks to a box lifter.
