The importance of safety in handling car components

In the automotive sector it is necessary to ensure that the handling of car components is carried out safely, trying to limit as much as possible damage or risks related to transport. The implementation and use of advanced technological solutions and resistant materials in handling operations of materials and auto components are therefore essential to ensure a safe working environment for operators during the various processes, In addition to protecting the various components.

The optimization of transport and handling of materials can also contribute to improve safety at work, reducing the possibility of accidents or injuries and ensuring greater protection of workers’ safety.

This process involves key equipment such as metal racks, specifically designed to ensure efficiency and productivity in handling, storage and transport of car components.

Metal racks: an effective solution for handling

Metal racks play a fundamental role in the automotive sector to optimize the storage, handling and transport of car components within production facilities. Depending on the type of production, the characteristics of the production lines and the parts to be contained, different types of metal containers can be used, each with specific characteristics and applications, such as:

• specific metal racks developed for components, custom-designed to accommodate specific types of auto components, of different shapes and sizes, such as mechanical parts, structural or plastic. They are made of high-strength materials and designed to ensure a long life;
• metal racks with stacker pillars, characterized by the presence of metal pillars, internal supports that allow to accommodate and organize car components inside the rack itself. They are suitable for loading and unloading of parts by robots and, thanks to their special structure, they can be used to support the elements by means of movable flaps which are automatically armed during the loading operations on the workpiece, without the need for an operator. This makes them ideal for preventing possible damage during storage and handling operations, ensuring greater protection and organization of components.

The advantages of automotive metal racks for component transport

Automotive metal racks are widely used for car components transportation and can offer numerous production optimization benefits, including:

• component protection: during handling and/or transport, they protect even the smallest or most delicate components. They are designed to withstand shocks and weather, minimizing damage during transport;
• reduced loading and unloading times: metal containers allow faster loading and unloading of components, simplifying handling operations and saving valuable time during production;
• greater efficiency in logistics and transport: thanks to their specific design, these containers allow easier and faster movement of components, reducing processing times and increasing company productivity;
• storage is easy: this allows maximum use of available space and simplifies handling operations;
• reduction of business costs: thanks to their re-usability, metal containers can be used several times for the transport and storage of car components, thus reducing business costs;
• customization possibilities: the containers can be precisely adapted to the different shapes and sizes of the components, so as to meet the specific production needs of the company.
