Engine Handling Carts/Pallets

 

Mobil platform that allows an engine/transmission to be mounted, aligned, dressed outside of the dynamometer test cell and rapidly installed, or removed.   These devices provide universal mounting platforms for the engine/transmission.  15-minute engine changeovers are possible, our carts are also engineered with customers application in mind.  All Application Engineering Inc. Cart/Receiver products utilize two (2) round locators at the flywheel end of the cart and cammed clamping locators at the front end of the cart or engine.  Another prime feature is that the cart is lifted from the floor and is under a compressive clamping load while under test. All carts have commercially available bolted on, ball bearing swivel casters and all cart/receiver weldments are sand blasted, primed and painted polyurethane ultrasonic silver.  The locating components are removable, hardened and plated for rust prevention. Many specials and custom engineered carts are available.

 Advantages:


· Time savings resulting from the pre-dressing of engines outside of the test cell.


· Pre- positioning and locking of the cart to the receiver provides consistent alignment of components and a further reduction in test cell changeover time.


· Elimination of the need for hoists in the test cell, while offering a safer method of transportation than forklifts.


· Slotted cart rails and AEI's proven mounting hardware offers the adaptability to a wide range of engines with and without transmissions.


· Heavy duty, welded, and machined structural steel components guarantee long life with a strong appearance.


· The compact unit has a smaller footprint than elephant feet.


· With vibration feet mounting as depicted above, there is no need for a bedplate for gasoline engines.


· Additional time can be saved using AEI's engine cooling systems with the optional Hot Coolant Recovery System. This option fills and drains the engine coolant while the technician performs other tasks without waiting for the engine to cool
