Electric pallet truck safe and ergonomic tool change

In the stamping and deep-drawing and deep-drawn parts production, tools weighing up to 300 kg have to be moved regularly between racks and presses. As neither the presses nor the racks are equipped with rollers or balls, the tools are moved on steel on steel. This resulted in high physical effort and increased the risk of injury for employees.
