Sidestep Delivery System:
This system is one of several developed and built for a new
automotive manufacturing plant in San Antonio, Texas.
The complete system includes development of trays to carry the
product, dolly's (or trailers) to be used to transport the product,
and the tray loading & line side conveyors.
