Catwalk Systems

All of these systems have been developed as a way of lifting the vehicle on to a rack where it has every process done to the vehicle, touching the vehicle only once with the loader or fork lift. Once in place the full vehicle can be processed at the same time, the fluids recovered from under the vehicle at the same time as the fluids from under the hood, the cat can be cut off and the trash taken out of the vehicle. With the full catwalk systems the wheels can be removed on the rack as well.

These systems can be built as single rack systems or double rack systems and any multiple from there. They come with multiple layout options from just the front slider to access the engine bay through to all round catwalks with collapsible front rails for loading. We have had customers processing up to 48 vehicles a day on a single rack system and others who take more time and care as the cars are going in to a self service yard.

Midi System

Base Level Midi System

This is the base level catwalk system, available in left or right hand stairs to suit your specification.

Front & Rear Midi System

This system works exactly the same as the base system but it has an adjustable rear platform to allow the operator access to the trunk, this will fit everything from a Mini to a one ton truck.

Double Midi System

The Double Midi Catwalk system allows two vehicles to be processed together with one operator up top the other down below.

Mega System

Single Mega System

The Mega Catwalk systems add another catwalk to the front of the system, it has a unique collapsible guard rail for operator safety that drops below the line of the front catwalk, allowing the loader to load over the top. This gives all round access to the vehicle and allows the removal of wheels on the rack, all while keeping the operator safe from any falls.

Double Mega System

The Double Mega Catwalk system allows two vehicles to be processed together with one operator up top the other down below. The top operator can work from a central extending platform to access under the hood, as well as having all round access to the vehicle. The design layout of the catwalk system can be modified to suit individual needs.
