Large-Area Handling
Floor-Guided Systems
Floor-guided carts that cover large work areas with full operator control, for stations where a gantry or a fixed column is not an option.
At a Glance
- Load capacity
- Sized to your load
- Configuration
- Floor-guided cart (mechanical, battery powered, or pneumatic)
- Motion
- Wide horizontal reach
- Positioning

- Best for
- Areas without space or budget for a gantry or column system
Exact capacity, reach, and work area are confirmed during application review.
When It Fits
Is This the Right Family?
Choose a floor-guided system when the work area is larger than a fixed column can cover and a gantry is not the answer — because there is no structure to hang one from, the building cannot take it, or it simply does not pay off for a single station.
Typical applications
- Moving parts between stations without an overhead gantry
- Glass and panel placement across a large area
- Work areas a fixed-column system cannot cover
Not sure which family fits? The comparison in our selection guide walks through the decision by motion type, and our engineers will confirm it against your actual part.

Compare the Alternatives
Balancing
Pneumatic Balancers
Pneumatic cable and chain balancers for fast-cycle pick-and-place handling of tools and components across a wide vertical range.
Lifting and Positioning
Lifting Axes
Vertical lifting axes engineered for precise, repeatable positioning in demanding handling stations.
Jointed-Arm Handling
Articulating Arm Devices
Arms with jointed sections, on a column or in a rail system, that carry the load through the work area and reach around obstacles a straight boom has to go around.
