REQUIREMENT
We were required to design and build a shelf trolley system that is to be towed by a pedestrian tug around the factory. This will be with the aim to distribute
parts where required and sent offsite to their 3pl partner for restocking before returning.
DESIGN ISSUES
Initially it was requested that a system be designed to allow 4 shelf trolleys of platform size 800 x 600mm to be towed as a train. However, with the 5 linkages that this would have required, the trolley would not be able to make the tight turns that is required as shown in the images below.
