Manufacturing and Handling Products
Ox Worldwide specializes in designing and producing handling equipment with high standards of quality and safety, including self-propelled trolleys, spreader beams, lifting beams, C hooks, motorized trolleys, and turning devices.
Self-Propelled Trolleys
These trolleys consist of a front rotating traction car and fixed rear trolleys, capable of carrying large loads with polyamide wheels. They are controlled via radio or auxiliary cable control, with a maximum speed of 5m/min. Two ranges are available: OX-ST (three-phase electric) and OX-TBC (electro-hydraulic and battery-powered).
OX-ST Trolleys
Powered by a three-phase electric supply, these trolleys require an external lifting system to place loads. They are the most economical option, available in capacities from 30t to 200t.
OX-TBC Trolleys
This model operates with either three-phase mains or batteries and includes a hydraulic pump for lifting and wheel rotation. Capacities range from 30t to 150t.
Specifications- Self-Propelled Trolleys: Rotate 360 degrees, powered by 380 VAC III 50 Hz or battery modules, featuring chain and pinion drive in every wheel, with remote and auxiliary cord controls. The main hydraulic cylinder can lift loads by 70 mm, and speed is adjustable up to 5 m/min.
- Rotating Trolleys: Designed for loads between 3.2 to 6 tons, rotate 360 degrees, can be combined with manual trolleys, have polyamide wheels, and require the load to cover at least 70% of the support surface.
- Manual Trolleys: Econ-Line trolleys have load capacities of 3000 kg, 6000 kg, and 12000 kg, featuring galvanized pulling bars and robust welding technology. Rollers are made from polyurethane and polyamide, with optional Vulkollan rollers available.
Customization and Accessories- Customers can customize trolleys with different RAL paint colors, company logos, and modifications such as automatic guidance systems.
