Superior Industries: TeleStacker

By |  April 11, 2013

According to Superior Industries, its engineers cut major setup time required to transition a swing axle TeleStacker conveyor from transport to radial positions. The swing axle XTP TeleStacker shifts from road to radial mode in between five and 10 minutes. That is compared to 45 to 60 minutes for the original model. Three key design features characterize the next generation swing axle XTP. First, to engage the stacker’s power travel, chains and sprockets are replaced with a pre-installed T-handle mechanism. While the chain and sprocket arrangement takes up to 30 minutes to install and can be tricky to guard, the new power travel system takes seconds to engage and needs no maintenance or guarding. Also, the new axle design requires fewer link arms during transport and operational modes. And the addition of a pivoting walking beam allows for true wheel alignment during radial travel.
