Palletizing and depalletizing

Flexible: omnidirectional movement of objects to the perfect position

With this considerable advantage, the HLP 6000 (HLP series) plays its unique selling point, absolute flexibility as a palletizing system: Because until now, a high level of modification was required to implement complex layer patterns. The HLP 6000 lays down perfectly and thus realizes any layer patterns of different formats.

Intermodal transport: securing pallets with wrappers

Companies in the automotive industry benefit from this film-saving wrapper: it also safely protects heavy, palletized goods for onward transport. Whether wheels or engine parts: they are secured fully-automatically by the TRAPO Stretch Wrapper (TSW series). In the process, the entire pallet is wrapped with film at high speed – this is how manufacturers ensure the required transport safety.

Configure driverless shuttle with modular system

In the standard version, the TRAPO Transport Shuttle (TTS series) transports loads of up to 2.000 kg within production; higher loads are available on request. Sizes, energy transmission and storage as well as drive and navigation can be combined as required. In addition, there is the possibility of adding customer-specific superstructures, such as lifting function, conveyor systems or robots.

Truck loading and unloading

One system loads several loading hatches autonomously

The TRAPO Loading System (TLS 3600) is a driverless, compact transport system with a lifting unit that can load three pallets simultaneously into a truck. In the process, it corrects its position automatically. This continuous loading process saves time and distance and enables the loading of a 13-meter-long semi-trailer with 33 pallets in about 15 minutes. The TLS can be moved and serves several loading hatches.

Conveying systems

Conveyor systems as standard for the automotive and wheel industry

In the field of conveying technology for the automotive and wheel industry, we have what is probably a unique product breadth and depth. Use this knowledge for your production – no matter whether you want to move wheels, rims, brake hoses, heavy engine parts or sensitive molded parts. Rigid, proven components are just as much a part of the range as mobile conveyor lines. Made in Germany – the entire portfolio of conveyor systems is manufactured at our headquarters in Gescher-Hochmoor.

TRAPO USP: Transport of gloss-turned sports wheels

In production, light alloy wheels are first painted black, then part of the paint and material is removed; this creates the gloss-turned wheel, which is finally protected with an additional clear coat and must be kept absolutely clean during this process. As a pioneer, the development team at TRAPO GmbH took on the special challenge of safely depalletizing both horizontally and vertically palletized wheels with one system.
