Our customer is entrusted with the sensitive task of manipulating coffins with deceased persons in the course of cremation.
A wide variety of coffin shapes with a maximum total weight of 400 kg, a maximum length of 2,000 mm and a maximum width of approx. 400 to 1,000 mm should be able to be clamped and manipulated lengthwise using a pedestrian stacker.
The arms should be as slim as possible to ensure space-saving storage in the cold store. The special shape of the arms ensures that a wide variety of coffin shapes can be safely accommodated. It should be possible to remove the coffins from the transport vehicle. They are then transported to the cold store, where the coffins are stored in a shelving system. The coffins can be removed from the cold store shelf using a SCHURZ coffin manipulator and transported to the cremation oven.
In order to set the cremation oven correctly, an accurate scale is also integrated into the coffin manipulator. The existing small door widths and heights limit the design of the SCHURZ special device for coffins.
The SCHURZ coffin manipulator has a hydraulic clamp with a sideshift function that can be operated using a separate button. This function makes it possible to balance the position of the arms laterally so that the coffin can be picked up optimally. The clamp function ensures that coffins are picked up safely and gently. A special valve ensures that the coffins are not damaged and a safety circuit prevents the clamp from opening accidentally. The coffins can now be safely picked up and maneuvered.
A Linde L12 pedestrian pallet truck serves as the carrier vehicle. For the additional functions, the basic machine was equipped with a ING. M. SCHURZ built its own unit. The standard forks were also removed and a special lightweight clamp was fitted. The wheel arms were extended accordingly due to the large overall center of gravity.
