FlexQube's Top 5 Mother Daughter Solutions

The Mother-daughter cart concept or solution has become one of the most efficient and popular ways of moving materials within facilities.

This type of solution makes its very easy for the operator to be able to remove the cart from the frame and leave different “daughter” carts at several work stations. Our carts can be integrated into a frame system such as the STILL Liftrunner E-frame, B-frame or C-frame, we also have begun constructing FlexQube’s own Mother concepts to house FlexQube’s daughter carts. The STILL liftrunner frames are used for much heavier loads and heavy-duty materials, while FlexQube’s own designed mother frames are for much lower weights. Below we have outlined our top 5 mother-daughter solutions, some of these are both the mother-daughter concept while some are daughter carts to the STILL Liftrunner system that our customers have had great success with.

1. Q-100-0986 8 in 1 Mother- Daughter System for dollies

This cart is quite a large and robust solution which can take a total of 8 dollies onto each side. The benefit of this is that all the dollies can be carrying different materials and therefore in 1 load, these materials can all be left at different assembly or packing stations. This saves much time by reducing the number of loads that need to be transported. This concept is equipped with a drop pin and hitch tow bar and can only be used alongside a tugger train, this solution cannot be moved manually.
