WE EXIST TO MAKE OUR CUSTOMERS WORLD LEADERS IN INTRALOGISTICS.

The story of FlexQube began over 30 years ago in central Sweden when three boys developed a love for playing with Lego®. As they grew up and started their professional careers that love of being able to build something together never left them.

While working for a global manufacturer of construction equipment, one of the founders noticed that materials management wasn’t keeping up with modern demands. The industry norm of welded solutions wasn’t adaptable enough for the constant change that the industry was experiencing. The FlexQube idea was born.

FlexQube’s business idea is to develop and offer a flexible system with few standardized components for safe, ergonomic and cost-efficient logistics.

Since 2010, we’ve helped over 700 factories and manufacturers worldwide create a more productive, profitable, safe, and ergonomic material handling and flow. With innovation, dedication, and a future-proof concept, we are committed to our mission; to make our customers world leaders in intralogistics.

MODULAR & ROBUST MOTHER DAUGHTER CARTS.

FlexQubes flexible and modular concept allows you to design and build a solution optimized for your needs in a quick and simple manner. Mother Daughter systems can transport a wide arrange of materials of various sizes and weights, and each process has different requirements reflected in the module options. A FlexQube mother daughter cart consists of three different categories of modules:

1. Daughter Cart – When designing a Mother Daughter system, you always start with the daughter carts. Select the type and design it after your requirements.

2. Mother Cart – When selecting a mother cart, there are two key questions that impact the mother cart’s design.

• How many daughter carts do you need to fit per mother cart?

• Do you want to take out daughter carts on one or both sides of the mother cart?

3. Transportation modules, including casters and anything from a handlebar for a simple push cart to smart building blocks for self-driving carts and everything in between.

PICKING THE RIGHT SOLUTION. ANALYZE YOUR NEEDS Before you start the process of selecting a cart make sure to properly analyze what you need from the cart and ask yourself the following questions: •

How would you like to transport the cart?

•

At what frequency do you need to transport the parts?

•

How many parts per cart?

•

Weight of load?

NICE TO HAVE VS NEED TO HAVE In the end, the cost is always a key aspect of any project and in many cases, you can save both time and money by properly analyzing your needs at the start of a project. Extra features are always nice but do you really need them? Do you need to be able to move the cart manually? Do you need a 2200 lbs. load capacity? Do the shelves need to be extendable? In the end, it’s always a trade-off between price and functionality, and that is important to keep in mind from the get go.

In the example below Cart A is about half the price of Cart B.
