General Specifications

Control Technology has supported implementations of moving assembly lines since its inception, having designed and built wheelsets with active suspension to facilitate driving on uneven surfaces and a custom controls system that can integrate workstand functionality with the drive wheel controls. Typical applications utilize 2 to 4 drive wheels depending on size, with a 50,000 lbs payload capacity across a pair of drive wheels.

The wheelsets are customizable and can be used in a variety of industries for precise control and positioning of large parts or workstands.
