An issue with automated material handling systems is poor pallet quality. Although placing rollers closer together can reduce problems with poor pallet qualities, tighter center locations may limit space for chain transfer. IK has developed a chain for 4,000-pound cargoes. It's made of a 3/8 inch plate welded steel frame. This allows for 2-1/2” rollers on 4 1/2 inch centers. This transfer is adjustable without any conveyor disassembly.
Our warehouse management solutions can be paired with your automated storage systems to increase productivity, accuracy, and efficiency.
Both the EMS Lift & Carry or the EMS Continuous Chain Cross Transfers have a lifting capability of 5' ton per section and can be constructed up to 60' long. They can be used to transfer in and out of a conveyor or through the datum line. These units are customizable to meet your specifications and shop size.
There are two options: pop up roller transfers and chain transfers. The overall design of the system will determine which transfer you should include. The pop-up transfer has the advantage of allowing loads to be transported with continuous chain support through a roller conveyor chainbox.
Gulf States Saw & Machine Co. has a range of cross transfer / cross transportation handlers that can be tailored to your needs. These machines are robust and well-engineered to transfer loads efficiently.
An automated material handling system can have issues with poor pallet quality. While it can help reduce poor pallet quality issues, locating rollers closer together may not be the best option. However, tighter centers on rollers will limit space available for chain transfer. IK has created a chain transfer to carry 4,000-pound loads. This is made using a 3/8” plate welded steel frame that allows for 2-1/2” diameter rollers with 4-1/2” centers. This transfer features a chain take-up design which can be adjusted without the need for conveyor disassembly.

Cross-transfer is a phenomenon that occurs when an untrained limb gains some of the same performance benefits from unilateral training as the contralateral limb. Cross-transfer was predicted to occur following a unilateral training regime involving an occupationally embedded task.
