PTB develops a special pallet truck for transporting heavy stamps

Muelink & Grol (M&G Group) is a leading manufacturer of flue gas extraction and ventilation systems. At the production location in Assen, heavy injection molding stamps are part of the production process. Transporting these stamps is a challenge. That is why the company looked for a collaboration with PTB Special Products.

Research and production

The M&G Group head office is located in Assen. In addition, there are nine additional facilities located in seven different countries. In these facilities the company works on the research and production of its products.

Moving heavy outriggers

An extension of the standard logistics equipment was required for the transport of the injection molding stamps in the M&G Group production environment. M&G Group uses special pallets to transport the stamps. That is why PTB designed a custom pallet truck.

With two forks with an initial height of only 80 millimeters, the pallet truck can easily transport the stamps on the special pallets.
