The trolley with tubes for rolled materials was developed for a renowned Italian leather goods manufacturer, which asked us to create a system capable of storing and keeping rolled leathers and fabrics in order, moving them on wheels from one department to another.
The need was to prevent the rolls from being placed on the ground or stacked on top of each other, which would lead to damage and make them difficult to identify, handle, and pick.
This trolley is perfect to be inserted in those realities that use leather or different rolled materials intended for different stages of production such as, for example, linings, reinforcement, adhesive materials, foams, padding and technical fabrics.
Where does the demand for the trolley for rolled materials come from?
The trolley for rolled materials was requested by a luxury leather goods factory in Abruzzo, Italy, with the aim of managing leathers and fabrics stored flat, without being overlapped, in a mobile structure.
The technical department analyzed the request and developed a steel frame, mounted on four wheels with increased capacity with a total one up to 600 kg. Inside, there are 36 tubes with a diameter of 20 cm, arranged asymmetrically.
A small leather goods manufacturer in the Principality of Monaco was interested in this special trolley but smaller in size that could be inserted in their workshop.
In this case, the trolley has been revised to make it narrower and adapt it to smaller companies and departments. The structure manages up to 21 positions with a diameter of 20 cm, arranged symmetrically.
What are the advantages of the trolley with tubes for rolled materials?
This solution offers many advantages in the department:
- Materials are always tidy and well organized: each roll is housed in its own dedicated compartment, avoiding multiple overlapping materials and getting damaged.
- Immediate visibility of contents: operators quickly identify the material they need for processing, without moving others.
- Simple and safe handling: thanks to the wheels with increased capacity, the trolley can be easily moved from one department to another.
- Great versatility: different types of rolled materials can be inserted such as common and fine leather, but also fabrics used for processing such as linings, padding, reinforcement and technical fabrics.
- Increased organizational efficiency: reducing research time and effort to lift materials onto shelves, preserving the quality of deposited materials and improving space management.
The result is a department that is tidier, more functional and capable of supporting a continuous workflow.
Materials and dimensions
The structure of the trolley for rolled materials is made of galvanized or painted steel, depending on the specific needs of each company. The orange tubes are instead made of PVC, ideal for inserting and protecting the various materials.
The large trolley is 160x110xH178 cm in size and has 36 positions.
The small trolley, on the other hand, is 150x68xH163 cm in size and has 21 positions.
The wheels with increased capacity inserted are made of nylon and polyurethane and have a total capacity of 600 kg. They have a brake to safely lock the trolley.
Who is the trolley for rolled materials designed for?
The trolley with tubes for rolled materials is the ideal solution for all companies that handle a large number of leathers, fabrics or other materials in rolls. It allows you to always keep the department tidy and to have all the materials visible immediately, preventing them from being damaged due to the overlap between them. It also facilitates movement between departments and protects materials during storage.
It is particularly suitable for companies in the leather goods, small leather goods, footwear, textiles and luxury packaging sectors, where organization and efficiency represent an important competitive advantage.
Each production department has specific needs. For this reason, ABC Equipment & Solutions develops and designs customized equipment starting from the analysis of the customer’s production processes, creating solutions that improve ergonomics, organization and productivity in the company.
The trolley with tubes for rolled materials is a concrete example of how a specific request can be transformed into a piece of equipment capable of simplifying daily work and optimizing material management.
