Innovative pallet truck for the transport of large textile rolls

Georg+Otto Friedrich is a leading German manufacturer of textile solutions in Europe. The company focuses on innovative solutions for digital printing and technical processing of textiles for industrial applications. To transport the rolls of textile fabrics through the factories, the German company needed a special means of transport. For this purpose, the company turned to PTB Special Products.

Transporting textile rolls

Georg+Otto Friedrich's textile fabrics are produced in large rolls. These rolls have a length of 5.3 meters and a weight of 6 tons. To transport these rolls through the factories and warehouses every day, Friedrich needed a special means of transport in three factories.

Pallet trucks with drawbar steering and ride-along platform

PTB developed a drawbar-controlled pallet truck and two pallet trucks with a ride-along platform. The pallet trucks have forks with a length of 3,500 mm. The load center of the EPS60 and the EPD60 is 2,700 mm from the heel of the fork.

Three colors

Friedrich has three factories in Germany and also has branches in Austria, Poland and Portugal. The machines intended for Friedrich have been painted in a color matching the location in question.
