FastMove pallet transport capabilities
FastMove is designed to move pallets quickly and efficiently across large facilities. It supports consistent high throughput while maintaining smooth, controlled handling.
The flexible modular design of standard straight, curved and switch tracks, means the layout can be easily adapted. Design options include a hanging rail or one fixed to the floor. Pallet orientation can be with long or short side leading for more flexibility.
Roller or chain conveyors are available for Pick-up and Drop-off stations to feed automated pallet warehouses using systems like Swisslog Vectura, PowerStore or AgileStore.
Gentle goods handling is assured thanks to oscillating hangers that reduce centrifugal forces on curves and switches. Vehicle motors have frequency converters for smooth load handling, optimized energy consumption, reduced wear and longer operating life.
FastMove integrates with Swisslog's SynQ software to support coordinated material flow. This helps balance processes across manual and automated operations for smoother overall performance.
