Integrated Pallet Loop Demonstration
A highlight of the booth will be a fully integrated pallet system loop demonstrating the combined power of CMCO's conveyance technologies. This system brings together:

• montratec's montrac® intelligent shuttle system
• Dorner's DualMove twin strand pallet platform
• Dorner's ERT series conveyors

This multi-technology solution showcases how manufacturers can achieve flexible, scalable automation with independent product routing, efficient transfers, and optimized throughput across production lines.

Dorner Conveyance Solutions
Dorner will feature several key technologies designed for precision automation environments:

• ERT 350 Conveyor - A low-back-pressure, non-contact zoned conveyor designed for high-load applications and precision movement. Its design transfers product weight through the conveyor frame to the floor, making it ideal for pallet-based systems and assembly automation.
• 2200 Series Flat Belt Conveyor - A versatile, industry-proven platform engineered for reliability and performance across a wide range of manufacturing applications.
• 2200 Precision Move Conveyor - Engineered for accurate positioning and indexing, enabling consistent product handling in assembly, inspection, and robotic integration processes.
• FlexMove Conveyors - Flexible chain solutions designed for complex layouts, elevation changes, and tight footprints, offering adaptable routing for evolving production environments.


montratec Shuttle Automation

montratec will showcase its montrac® shuttle system, an intelligent, asynchronous transport solution that allows independent movement of products at varying speeds and directions. With onboard power and modular design, montrac® enables manufacturers to:

• Balance production lines
• Reduce cycle times
• Increase system flexibility and scalability

This advanced intralogistics solution supports a wide range of industries including automotive, electronics, life sciences, and general manufacturing.

Garvey Accumulation Technology
Garvey will present its InfinityTM Rx 36 accumulation system, a high-performance solution engineered for smooth, non-contact product handling. Designed to eliminate back pressure and minimize product damage, the Rx 36 provides quiet, efficient accumulation ideal for high-speed and precision applications.

Driving the Future of Automation

Together, these technologies demonstrate the strength of the Columbus McKinnon Conveyance Solutions Group, delivering modular, integrated systems that improve efficiency, flexibility, and throughput across modern manufacturing environments.
