Tuff Transfer Cart is an automated space saving solution / June 25, 2015 by Marie Orttenburger

Production facility floor space is sacred. The more organized and compact you are, the more efficient your production practices are. Our customer wanted to crowd more conveyor into their existing space to optimize their production facility.

So our customer needed something to facilitate the movement of their product within this tight space while limiting the use of lift trucks. Tuff Automation worked together with Savant Automation to create a transfer cart that would solve their problems.
