Trolley Docking Station – variable: One solution for changing requirements

When trolley sizes, container formats, or throughput change regularly in production or logistics, flexibility is key. The SHT variable trolley docking station delivers exactly that: it can be adjusted to different trolley dimensions — without special accessories. This makes it the ideal solution for dynamic processes, assembly lines, and areas with varying load carriers.

Maximum adaptability thanks to modular design

Unlike the classic stand-alone variant, the variable docking station is not limited to a fixed trolley size. It consists of a robust base angle that acts as a barrier and positioning aid. Side guide elements and locking units can be flexibly mounted to it. Thanks to a smart hole pattern, these components can be set almost steplessly to the required position.

Use cases: When processes must remain flexible

The variable trolley docking station is ideal for dynamic logistics and production environments where flexibility is crucial. Typical applications include:

Assembly lines with frequently changing trolley sizes
Production lines with multiple load-carrier formats
Areas with varying utilization or seasonal demand
Logistics zones connected to tugger trains or forklift systems

Thanks to its robust design, the station remains reliable even under heavy use — including high-frequency forklift traffic.

Technical designs and variants

The SHT variable trolley docking station is based on a heavy-duty, floor-anchored steel angle and can be flexibly adapted to different trolley sizes by mounting side guides and locking units. Using a thoughtful hole pattern, components can be adjusted almost steplessly — ideal for changing load carriers or fluctuating throughput.
