Die Carts / Tool Carts
Are you still relying on a fork lift truck to load and unload tools in and out of presses and racking? If so why?
Increasing demand for diversity and smaller batch sizes makes lowering set up time / production time vital to your competitive edge and profit. Toyota realised this, made the change from fork lift to Die Cart and reaped the reward of reduced tool changeover times and costs. A Die Cart / Tool Cart from Premitec is the dynamic, up to date solution to your tool handling needs.
Die Cart / Tool Carts are far cheaper than a fork lift, yet they are capable of lifting up to double the tonne weight! Die Carts / Tool Carts can lift up to 40 tonnes, whereas fork lifts are weaklings in comparison with a maximum lift of a feeble 20 tons!
Die Carriers / Tool Carriers are also far smaller than cumbersome enormous fork lifts, making them highly manoeuvrable. The ability to rotate 90 degrees on their axis enables Die Carts / Tool Carts to operate in tight spaces, which brings the added benefit of freeing up valuable space.
The tool transporters supplied by Premitec can be manufactured according to your specific requirements. Hydraulic height adjustment of up to 800 mm on our die transporters offers the flexibility you require to load and unload from various press bed heights.
The speed and performance of battery operated Die Carriers / Tool Carriers can be easily controlled with the inbuilt diagnostic system.
