Port-A-Trac

 

Light-weight, aluminum, modular system for transporting full pallets of brick into the kiln and under the Bricking Machine scaffold.

 

Problem:

The transportation of brick is critical to keep the masons supplied with the material in a timely manner. To move a pallet of brick up-kiln in small kilns where forklift access is prohibited requires a cost in time and manual labor or a custom solution. The challenge of transporting brick up-kiln will depend mostly on the size of the kiln and the condition of the surface of the kiln. The smaller the kiln, the smaller the access under the bricking machine scaffolding system. The more limited the access the more difficult it is to get brick past the machine to the bedding crew. Furthermore, it is advantageous to transport the brick as a pallet rather than individually not only for obvious speed advantages, but to avoid potential damage to the individual brick. This problem can be addressed by specialized transporting equipment such as the Port-A-Trac.

Solution:

With a Port-A-Trac, 2 men can easily push a 4,000 LB pallet of brick up the kiln and under a Bricking Machine Scaffold.

Justification:

  • Increase speed of refractory installation

  • Decrease worker fatigue

Features:

  • Accommodates multiple transfer carts along the same track, each capable of holding 4,000 LBS

  • Optional power winch available

  • Brake system to hold carts anywhere on track

  • Build to any length - modular aluminum track comes in 3 meter and 1.5 meter sections
