CRAB SYSTEM
Fully Automated Transportation from Roll Stock to Corrugator
The CRAB System is a fully automated roll delivery system designed to eliminate the safety concern of a fork lift racing up and down the side of your corrugator. The CRAB will pick up and transport from a designated Drop-off/Pick-up point and deliver to and from your single facers. The CRAB is seamlessly integrated into your ERP system to deliver and return the rolls, and even stage high use rolls alongside the corrugator. Every time a roll is picked up or moved, the CRAB measures the lineal feet of paper on the roll and updates your roll stock inventory in real time.
