Polyplastics’ DURACON POM Powers Innovative Crawler Transport System

KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 (Bernama) -- Polyplastics Co Ltd announced its DURACON polyoxymethylene (POM) resin has been selected for use in a unique crawler track transport system developed by Tokyo-based CuboRex Co Ltd, a supplier of innovative mobility solutions.

The unique transport system, which significantly improves work efficiency at factory and construction sites compared to conventional caster-equipped carts, includes a structural crawler covering made of DURACON POM.

In a statement, Polyplastics said the material was chosen for its high load-bearing capacity, excellent friction properties, durability, and reliability in harsh field conditions.

CuboRex’s trolley crawlers can be installed on existing trolleys, reducing ground pressure, friction, and the force needed for operation, enabling smooth travel over uneven terrain and steps.

Improved turning performance and better coordination with tow trucks and automated guided vehicles reduce operator strain and operational delays.

As demand for material handling is growing, the introduction of crawlers for carts eliminates the need to purchase new dedicated transport carts, enabling a dramatic improvement in operational efficiency while utilising existing equipment.

The solution leverages existing equipment to boost efficiency, enhance safety, and lower costs, with potential applications across logistics, manufacturing, and construction markets worldwide.
