Trolleys

Multiple use shipping containers, stacked and strapped to trolleys.
 
The plastic containers and trolleys are used by department stores and are an excellent method of supplying product from the distribution outlet to the stores shelves.
The plastic containers are based on a standard 800 x 600 mm module with an interlocked lid. The containers are usually stacked and secured with straps to prevent against unauthorised access.
 
The maximum height of a stacked trolley is usually 8 layers with containers stacked two lengthwise and one crosswise requiring up to three straps per trolley.
 
The semi automatic strapping machines are usually located in regional warehouses. The operator can position the trolley for each strapping position and start the strapping cycle via the cycle start button, as shown above. A fully automated line is applicable for the larger central warehouses, such as the line shown below.
