MiniTec helps improve logistics and handling operations

A comprehensive modular aluminium profile system from MiniTec can be found in myriad applications, from machine guarding to conveyor systems, sports and leisure to retail.

The robust and sturdy modular profile system lends itself perfectly to custom-built designs where a structure has to fit within the physical environment of an operation. It usually proves easier to adjust the design requirement of the product than become embroiled in costly factory lay-out changes to accommodate new fixtures and fittings.

The design and engineering team at MiniTec in Basingstoke have a wealth of experience and knowledge to help create optimum, ergonomically designed assembly/storage/handling systems.

At the heart of the MiniTec system is what it describes as a "unique" Powerlock fastening method which requires no specific preparation, pre-machining or special tools, and which uses standard off-the-shelf fasteners. The use of standard M8 fasteners reduces the cost of the overall package of profiles and locking system considerably, compared with many other systems which incorporate brand-specific locking systems. Thus the only tool required to set up or dismantle a system is an Allen key.
