Product Description
 
Features

The Telescoping Transfer Vehicle is a nonpowered conveyor that telescopes from a closed position to an open position. The unit usually consists of 4 fixed conveyors and 3 mobile conveyors, but can vary based on the needs of a particular application. Each conveyor finger is standard 9" BF width with 3" channel sideframes and 2-1/2"-14g rollers on 3" centers, The fixed conveyors are supported from the floor by integral supports. The mobile conveyors are assembled in a unit at the front end and supported by a pair of 5" dia. rigid casters. At the opposite end each conveyor is supported from the fixed conveyors by means of plastic idler wheels that ride on the sideframes of the fixed conveyors. Telescoping movement may be accomplished by manual means or by attaching the unit to an external device that moves in the same manner.

Application
   
Telescoping Transfer Vehicles are used primarily in the transfer of blank sheets from an infeed conveyor to a process machine, where the process machine must be opened towards the infeed conveyor for servicing and set-up. Most often these units are used when manual transfer is an acceptable means of operation. When powered or automatic transfer is a requirement, other transfer vehicles should be considered for this application.
