Different Applications
Autoliv purchased many different applications ranging from shelf carts, mother-daughter system (4 in 1) for small boxes and totes as well as container carts for their 48×45 inch containers, 32 x 30-inch containers as well as other more special sized containers. Some 1600 x 1200 mm for example.
Previous System
The previous system Autoliv was using had quad steer which meant that the carts tracked well behind the tugger but they were very hard to move by hand for the operators. The carts had also very bad casters causing a lot of downtime and bumpy and noisy rides around the plant.
Modular System
FlexQube could offer a modular system in order for Autoliv to be more flexible in terms of creating a cart fleet for the long term. With the FlexQube concept, Autoliv saw a possibility to extend the lifetime of their investment as well as improving their material flow in terms of productivity, environment, and quality in the short term.
Since 2015 FlexQube has delivered almost 250 carts to the different Autoliv plants in Mexico with more to come.
