摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The system has a fixed trolley or kanban (10) provided at an assembly line edge. A mobile trolley or shooter (20) transports containers (B) between a logistic zone e.g. container preparing zone, and an assembly line edge position in which the shooter contacts with the kanban. A retaining unit retains the containers on a collecting platform (21). A release mechanism releases the retaining unit during docking of the shooter on the kanban, so that the containers are displaced from the shooter in the line edge. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a method for transporting and handling a container. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Trolley system for transporting and handling a container supplying parts or components in an assembly line of a motor vehicle e.g. car. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The configuration of the trolley system avoids withdrawal of the container supplying parts or components in a one-by-one manner by an operator, allows automatic transfer of containers on the fixed trolley in a rapid manner and facilitates easy fabrication and operation of the system in a robust, reliable, ergonomic and inexpensive manner. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic perspective view of a trolley system.
