Within the German automotive OEM production facilities and their Tier 1 supplier base, it is common knowledge that forklift trucks are not the material of choice when it comes to sophisticated, line-side material handling systems. This is more likely to be solved with a milk run logistics train, where the material in question, whether KANBAN-based or a sequenced sub-assembly, is delivered by a tugger train with a wide range of customized dollies. This increases the delivery frequency of internal material and goods transportation. These solutions therefore form the basis of a modern lean production concept.

In addition to a tractor, the required ingredients are a wide range of mother and daughter vehicles that can be adapted to the specific needs of each production and assembly hall to create the necessary flexibility for the requirements of the modern workshop. The answers to this requirement are based on a vehicle portfolio that can adapt to the dynamic, constantly changing production requirements of your customer base. The LKE product portfolio is the perfect answer to these requirements.

Tugger trains increase the number of rollers, making this part a critical component for success. Blickle castors are best in class and proven in countless applications, reducing noise emissions and enabling high loads with the necessary speed in any logistics environment.

Today, factory floors must be kept clean and tidy with a similar emphasis. Not only because customers are led around, but also because your production tolerances do not allow foreign substances to enter your highly sensitive production processes. Today’s ProfilGate “clean driving zones” prevent these substances from being transported throughout your facility.
