SL-100 OHT
Heavy Load Transport System with Lowering to the Operating Level
DESCRIPTION AND MAINTENANCE
The SL-100 OHT (Overhead Hoist Transport) system from Singular Logistics is based on a FLEXITRACK overhead rail featuring vehicles equipped with a decentralized autonomous control system that allows them to operate independently. Each vehicle carries a complete map of the circuit (E-MAP) and communicates with the other vehicles via Wi-Fi, determining the fastest and most efficient routes based on both incoming transport requests and current traffic conditions. The system is fully configurable and requires zero programming for each application, including route modifications and system expansions.
Unlike conventional systems that rely on expensive materials such as aluminium, FLEXITRACK overhead rails are manufactured using standard IPE steel profiles, providing a significantly more cost-effective solution. Crossings and intersections are managed by static switches with no moving parts, motors or sensors, eliminating one of the main maintenance points found in traditional overhead rail systems. The rail operates at 48 V DC, ensuring electrical safety throughout the installation, and can be modified using conventional metalworking techniques without the need for high-precision processes or specialized equipment.
Ultimately, the SL-100 OHT system delivers the same core capabilities as traditional overhead rail systems, but at a significantly lower cost. It enables 24/7 operation without batteries, requires minimal maintenance, is simpler to install, and offers outstanding flexibility and scalability. A solution that makes competitive advantages once reserved for large-scale production facilities accessible to small and medium-sized businesses.
At Singular Logistics, we have developed an innovative, fully autonomous overhead intralogistics solution for transporting heavy loads. The SL-1500 OHT system is based on an advanced overhead rail featuring independent vehicles equipped with state-of-the-art decentralized autonomous control. Like the SL-100 OHT, the vehicle lowers itself to the operating level to perform loading and unloading operations, then returns to the overhead rail to continue its route. The key difference is its capacity to handle loads of up to 1,500 kg, including pallets and pallet boxes.
Thanks to their autonomous operation, the vehicles continuously assess incoming transport requests and current system traffic, automatically selecting the fastest and most efficient routes. This intelligent autonomy eliminates the need for manual programming, simplifying system configuration and reducing infrastructure costs.
With Singular Logistics, you are not simply automating your processes — you are taking a step towards Industry 4.0, where efficiency, technological innovation and cost optimization are key to maintaining a competitive edge.
SL-1500 OHT – HEAVY LOAD TRANSPORT SYSTEM
The SL-1500 OHT is Singular Logistics’ solution specifically designed for transporting heavy loads of up to 1,500 kg, including pallets and pallet boxes. Its ability to lower to the operating level enables fully automated loading and unloading without the need for additional infrastructure.
In its standard configuration, the system features forks or chains to automate loading and unloading operations. At the stations, it can be integrated with roller conveyors, conveyor belts, pallet transfer systems and other material handling equipment.
The main advantage of the SL-1500 OHT is its ability to autonomously transport heavy loads between different operating levels while freeing valuable floor space within the production facility for other activities. This makes it ideal for existing facilities that need to move pallets between production floors or storage areas, as well as for industries with dense, continuous material flows where efficiency and high system availability are critical to operations.
