Advantages Chain Track System

• Continuous supply of carts to the processing area.

• Unmanned; no labor costs once operational.

• Can co-operate with most sorting lines, so that unloading of the carts and (when applicable) loading with empty boxes can be fully automated.

• Stationary stops, portable stops, turns, slight grade changes, a weigh scale and the ability to switch tracks are available.

• Low maintenance costs.

• Proven system, with over 130 tracks sold. Tracks up to 1500 meters (almost a mile) have been installed in greenhouses. Longer tracks are possible.

• A more efficient working environment.

Automated loading and unloading

Ease of Operation

• Carts can be put on the Chain Track at any time and at any position, making it

unnecessary to have a staff member controlling the logistics at the spot.

• In the head house a stock of carts can be lined up, making it possible to have a

steady and ongoing workflow.

• A computer connection to sorting machines is an often applied feature as well as

stationary and portable stops, weigh scales, corner turns in different angles and

switch points. This makes the carts useable to their highest potential.
