Burckhardt Orders Over 100 Material Handling Carts from FlexQube

Shelf Tugger Train FlexQube

FlexQube received an order from Burckhardt in Switzerland in April of 2020 to deliver over 100 smaller material handling carts. The beginning of this process was all the way back in October 2019 when Burckhardt first reached out to FlexQube GmbH.

After the first visit to Burckhardt’s manufacturing facility, it was clear that a normal welded trolley would not fit their needs. The metal materials that Burckhardt was transporting within their facility were very heavy and the space between their machinery was quite tight. As with many facilities, the amount of space to move materials is getting tighter and tighter. It was obvious that a solution designed specifically for their needs was the right option.

Following this first visit, online meetings were set up between the customer, our sales engineer, Jan Brettmann, and FlexQube’s design team. During this process, the needs of the customer were outlined and a few designs were offered. From which one was selected and an initial prototype was built.

So the operators and engineers on-site at Burckhardt could become more familiar with the FlexQube concept, this first prototype was built onsite in their facility, with the help of FlexQube’s sales engineers. This was of great benefit to the customer because they were able to see first-hand, how easy it was to build a FlexQube cart and if needed in the future alter it once again. Following the testing of the prototype, a few minor details were needed to be changed to the design before the order of 100 more was finalized.

These material handling carts fit perfectly to Burckhardt’s needs and this will improve their material handling production greatly.
