Module Handling

Skate System

A manual, low-cost system for moving house modules forward. Modules move along a floor-mounted rail system on trolleys, pushed manually for a simple operation.

Product Catalog

Features

Low-cost and reliable. House modules roll on floor-mounted rails with minimal maintenance, giving you an assembly line without a large investment.

Manual or electric operation. The modules are moved forward by hand or with an electric tug. The tug is purchased separately.

Easy module lifting. Floor beams let you lift an entire module off the trolleys when needed, simplifying transfers and loading.

Configured for your production. The rail layout is tailored to your factory floor, and can be built with 90-degree turns where space requires it.
