Atlas Technologies builds die transport cart for Weber Metals

Fenton, Mich.-based Atlas Technologies has developed and completed a steerable, trackless cart that will transport preheated dies for Weber Metals Inc., Paramount, Calif., a supplier of forgings to global industrial markets.

The structural steel cart will tolerate temperatures up to 800 degrees F. It features an insulated barrier for heat-sensitive components to shield from the extreme heat. The manually controlled cart, which has a weight capacity of 50,000 lbs., can handle preheated dies from furnace to forging in the customer’s factory using a wireless, hand-held pendant controller.
