Racks and frames from standard tube and profile systems

For production and intralogistics we build racks, trolleys and workstation frames from modular standard systems – bolted rather than welded, so every frame can be modified, extended or reused later.

Applications

What we build

Three typical applications – each assembled from standard components and matched to container size, reach height and the floor area available.

Flow racks

Containers are loaded at the back and roll forward on inclined roller tracks. Replenishment and picking are separated, and first-in, first-out follows automatically.

Picking and transport trolleys

Trolleys with flat or inclined shelves and castors suited to load and floor – for order picking, tugger trains or line-side supply.

Assembly of a frame from aluminium profiles and round tubes

Workstation and line-side frames

Table frames, superstructures and shelves for assembly and packing stations, so parts and tools sit where they are needed.

System basis

Two standard systems

Both have become established for shop-floor equipment and are supplied by several manufacturers. We choose the supplier by availability, price and what you already use.

Tube connector system, 28 mm dia.

Aluminium or coated steel tubes with clamped connectors. Light, quick to assemble and adjustable without special tools – the first choice for racks and trolleys.

Aluminium profile, 40 x 40 mm, slot 8

Square profile with a slot on every face. Attachments can be placed anywhere along it and the structure is stiffer – the choice when loads or dimensional accuracy come first.

Process

From enquiry to finished frame

Enquiry

Container size, number of levels, available space – a few photos and measurements are usually enough for a first assessment.

Design

You receive a sketch, dimensions and a parts list for approval, so you know what will be built and what it costs before anything is ordered.

Assembly

Cutting, assembly and function check. Delivered fully assembled or as pre-assembled modules.
