THE CHALLENGE
Titan Steel Wheels, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of steel wheels for the off-highway and mobile crane industry, has revolutionised its production process by integrating Alwayse Ball Transfer Units. Their business is making the large wheels that are typically used on heavy earthmovers and agricultural equipment. With wheels ranging from 90kg to 300kg, handling these heavy components efficiently and safely is paramount.
THE SMART SOLUTION
By incorporating Alwayse Ball Transfer Units in their conveyor system, Titan has streamlined its production process. These units facilitate the smooth and precise movement of heavy wheels, drastically reducing the time required for handling and positioning. Handling wheels that weigh up to 300kg posed significant risks of injuries related to lifting and moving. The ball transfer units enable effortless and secure manoeuvring of these heavy components, minimizing the physical strain on workers and reducing workplace injuries significantly. Adopting Alwayse Ball Transfer Units has also yielded environmental benefits. Titan Steel Wheels demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility by integrating technologies that reduce their ecological footprint. The improved efficiency in material handling has led to reduced energy consumption in the production process. Additionally, the precision handling minimizes waste and rework, contributing to more sustainable manufacturing practices.
