Transport solutions for engines and transformers

Does the thought of transporting transformers and diesel engines tire you out before you’ve even started your research? Why not consider transport solutions by Shifter? Discover why!

Shifter consists of one or more automated guided vehicles, conveniently operated using a handy remote. It’s all you need to move large objects around accurately and efficiently. Engines and transformers can be transporting using only a single vehicle, with a hydraulic lift being optional should you like to transport your engines using pallets. The Shifter easily moves underneath any pallet to lift and carry the load.

The answer to your transport needs

Transporting large and heavy mechanical parts like engines and transformers? Far from a quick and easy task, often due to a lack of space and the considerable amount of weight involved. It’s in times like these when innovative solutions step in to lighten the load. Preferably a system that functions omnidirectionally, allowing for flexibility in confined spaces, with additional tricks up its sleeve to deal with other environmental factors.

The team at AVT Europe developed a variety of Shifter transport solutions. All to ensure that transporting transformers or engines – regardless of weight and size – is a process both accurate and efficient.

Do you prefer your Shifter to come without a lift? In that case your engine or transformer is placed directly onto the Shifter itself, just like you’ve seen in every warehouse. Don’t worry if you don’t yet know what would work best for you, the team at Shifter is happy to help you out with custom advice.

The Shifter range: which model suits your purpose?

Offering a total package yet allowing you to pick your own path. It’s the idea behind the line of Shifter vehicles. We’d like to introduce them to you.

The Shifter Mono: the next step in mobility

Does your project outmatch the Trailer profile, but not enough to justify our most advanced pieces of transport systems? It’s for times like these we brought the Shifter Mono into the fold. We kept the easy setup and cost-efficiency, but we increased mobility by allowing for curved turns and lifting capabilities.

The Shifter Multi Flex: when the going gets heavy

Building on the success of the Shifter Flex, the next step for anyone transporting exceptionally large and heavy objects would be going Multi Flex. Two — or more — Flex units working together synchronously and precisely. Both units find each other automatically, regardless of their positions. This provides the necessary flexibility.
