Custom trolleys, pallets, racks and workstations that connect storage, handling and assembly. Practical metalwork shaped around the parts you use and the way your shop floor operates.
Material handling begins with a simple question: what needs to move, and where does it go next? The shape and weight of a component, the space around it and the way it is loaded all influence the equipment required.
Elite Structures works on fabricated handling equipment for industrial applications, including trolleys, component pallets, racks and workstations. We discuss the load, layout and operating conditions with your team to define a fabrication scope that fits the intended use.
A pallet supports the component, a rack gives it a storage location, and a workstation provides space for the next operation. Plan their dimensions and interfaces together.
Each equipment type answers a different part of the handling brief. Start with the task, then define the details.
Platform and component trolleys for moving parts between work areas. Define the deck size, handle arrangement, wheel requirements and component support around the intended route and load.
Fabricated steel pallets and support frames shaped around the part being carried. Component contact points, loading method and interfaces with handling equipment form part of the brief.
Storage frames and racks configured around component dimensions, quantities and access needs. Discuss shelf layout, part separation and available floor space before defining the fabrication package.
Fabricated workbench frames and tables for production tasks. Working height, usable surface area, storage and equipment mounting details are considered together.
The trolley shown brings several decisions into one assembly: the platform footprint, shelf clearance, handle position and wheel arrangement. Those details should follow the component and the route, rather than a standard outline alone.
Share aisle widths, turning areas, floor conditions and how parts are placed on and removed from the trolley. For irregular components, describe the support points and any surfaces that must be protected.
Share Your Layout ↗Connect the fabrication details to the load, the operator’s task and the surrounding equipment before work begins.
Identify the component dimensions, weight and support needs. Discuss loading and unloading, movement frequency, floor conditions and the space available at each work area.
Confirm the layout, materials, mounting points, wheels or feet, and finish requirements. Resolve critical dimensions and agree the design, inspection and acceptance responsibilities.
Work to the agreed drawings and review the finished assembly against the specified requirements. Coordinate delivery and any agreed fit checks with the intended component or work area.
A component drawing, a photograph of the current setup or a simple floor-layout sketch can help explain the requirement. Include the details that affect fit, access and handling.
Start an Equipment Enquiry ↗Load capacity and any special testing requirements are defined for the specific equipment and agreed scope.
Share the component drawing or dimensions, weight and the points where it can be supported. Include photographs and details of the loading method so the equipment layout can be reviewed.
Yes. Include the quantity, any variations and whether delivery is required in stages. This helps define a consistent fabrication package and the programme for the requirement.
Start with the application, key dimensions and photographs or a sketch. The equipment details, design responsibilities and acceptance requirements need to be agreed before fabrication.
