TIRE-RETREAD

acrobat

The McGinty Conveyors Tire-Retread monorail conveyor system is the ideal solution for hand-push transport and storage applications for the tire retread industry. Developed in the 1990's, it provides an excellent starting point for mechanized product handling.

Constructed of standard Richards-Wilcox components, Tire-Retread can be added onto at any time to build a more sophisticated power monorail or power & free conveyor system. Because of its compatibility with all other R-W overhead conveyors, conversion time is minimal and higher levels of productivity and efficiency are achieved almost immediately.


FEATURES:

Seven Standard Components

  • Straight Track, 3/16" thick, the heaviest in the industry, stocked in 10' lengths
  • Horizontal Curves, 3/16" thick, R2' x 90° flame hardened
  • Three-Way "T" Switch
  • Carrier Insert Section
  • Welding Jigs
  • Four Wheel Carrier
  • "C" Hooks

Specifications:

Carrier Capacity 250 pounds
*Made In The USA

BENEFITS:

Maintains Quality.
Tire-Retread is a hand-push transport and storage alternative to manual rehandling of product. This decreases the potential for loss or damage.

Utilizes Space Efficiently.
Tire-Retread frees up vital floor space, providing movement throughout a facility and allowing for organized product flow.

Maximizes Product Storage.
Tire-Retread provides dedicated storage in user specified area. This system eliminates wasted space and efficiently stores product in an organized manner within the same work area, day after day.

Reduces Product Damage and Worker Injury.
Since product is suspended from a Tire-Retread carrier, manual rehandling of product is kept to a minimum, reducing the chance of product damage.

Increases System Life.
Tire-Retread's enclosed track protects carriers and runways from dirt and other contaminants. In addition, Tire-Retread's sliding "T" Switch supports loads, providing both smooth travel and longer switch life.

Facilitates Upgrades.
Tire-Retread components are compatible with all other Richards Wilcox conveyor systems. As a result, Tire-Retread can be upgraded to a Safe-Rail, Zig-Zag or Twin Trak system with 75 percent utilization of existing parts.
