Moving A Heavy Chassis Through an Agricultural Assembly Line
Agricultural equipment manufacturers face a material handling problem that off-the-shelf solutions can’t solve. Your chassis are massive, your floor space is constrained, and your assembly line cannot stop.
Align Production Systems designs and manufactures heavy-duty transporters and AGV systems specifically for companies that build large agricultural equipment. Move tractor, combine, and sprayer chassis from 10,000 to 100,000+ lbs through your line without cranes, forklifts, or standard conveyors that weren’t built for your load.
The Right Equipment Makes All the Difference
Agricultural equipment assembly demands material handling solutions for tractor frames, combine headers, cab assemblies, and powertrain sub-assemblies don’t move with standard conveyors or forklifts. Align’s product family covers every stage of your line:
- Industrial Turntables — rotate large tractor frames, cab assemblies, and structural weldments so workers can access every side without repositioning the part by hand. Built for end-of-line racking, inspection, and precision placement before final assembly.
- Flatbed Transporters — carry oversized ag chassis and frame assemblies floor-to-floor through your facility without cranes or forklifts. Custom-built to the footprint and weight your specific application requires.
- Pallet Transporters — battery-powered floor transport for engines, transmissions, and large component sub-assemblies. Keeps heavy parts moving safely through staging and assembly without forklift traffic or operator strain.
- Hydraulic Upenders — tilt and reposition ag components such as engine blocks, cab frames, and large weldments from horizontal to vertical with controlled, repeatable precision. Eliminates manual rigging on repositioning operations.
- Power Tuggers — ergonomic, battery-powered towing for pulling loaded transporters and assembly carts through staging areas and assembly lines. Reduces operator fatigue on long facility hauls.

case studies
Real Problems. Proven Solutions.
Explore how Fortune 500 manufacturers and heavy industry facilities have transformed their assembly line movement with Align material handling solutions.
Large Vehicle Manufacturing with AGV Flatbed Transporter
The primary challenge for a large vehicle manufacturing company was moving vehicle bodies from the main conveyor line to various stations for loading and securing seats, then returning them to the main line.
110,000 lbs. AGV System for Agricultural Assembly
An agricultural company, renowned for its innovative approaches to farming machinery, identified a need for an efficient method to move their newest tractor through various assembly stages.
Case New Holland and Airfloat Improve Grain Header Manufacturing
Moving Heavy Pallets: A Low-Profile Platform Transporter
A manufacturer needed a simple way for a single operator to pick up floor-resting pallets, move them across the facility, and set them down in a new location. Align engineered a custom platform transporter.
Q&A
Can AGVs be used in agricultural equipment manufacturing?
Yes. Automated guided vehicles (AGVs) are used in agricultural equipment manufacturing to move heavy assemblies autonomously through assembly lines. AGVs eliminate operator-driven transport between workstations, improving throughput consistency and reducing labor costs. AGV systems can stop at programmed workstations, integrate with line management software, and handle loads from 10,000 to 100,000+ lbs.
Can Align build a custom solution for my specific production floor?
Yes! Our engineering team specializes in designing custom material handling systems built around your exact load specifications, floor layout, and workflow. From concept through fabrication and integration, we solve the challenges off-the-shelf equipment can't.
How long has Align been working with heavy industry manufacturers?
Align Production Systems has been a trusted partner in heavy industry since 1967 — over 50 years of designing, manufacturing, and integrating material handling solutions for Fortune 500 companies and industrial manufacturers worldwide.
What equipment does Align offer for moving large assembly parts?
Our products includes industrial turntables, flatbed transporters, hydraulic upenders, air caster solutions, power tuggers, and custom conveyor systems — everything your production floor needs to move heavy components safely and efficiently.
Does Align offer support after installation?
Yes! Align provides ongoing service and support to keep your equipment and production line running at peak performance. We're committed to being your long-term material handling partner, not just a one-time equipment supplier.
