Tote Handling

Totes can be found in a variety of businesses. Warehouses, grocery stores, pharmacies, libraries, etc. Most of the time totes are placed on lifter platforms and wheeled around to the desired location of the operator.

In the example below, we suggested a 19000 unit with custom Tote Handling tooling. The end-effector would be used to lock into open tote channels, pick them up and relocate them to the desired location of the operator. This method keeps the totes more secure during transportation.

Plastic Tote Specs:

• 15″ wide
• 23.5″ long
• 13″ high
• 50 lbs

Regarding this project, when the operator is in need of product, they take the lifter and manually push it to the storage rack of product located in the staging queue. The operator would position the lifter, while lowering the custom Tote Handling tooling, so it is directly over the next available product.

The tooling would be lowered until the hooks can be inserted into the open tote channels, thus fully gripping the product. The operator would then raise the tooling to clear the product from the staging area.

At this time, the operator would manually push the product to the offloading location. Once lined up with the drop-off location, the operator would then release the hooks from the product, and raise the tooling to the starting position.

Once complete, the operator would pull the lifter back and wheel it to the staging queue for the next load.
