How to Move Large Construction Assembly Parts?
Moving oversized construction components isn’t just a logistics challenge, it’s an engineering one. At Align Production Systems, we’ve spent over 50 years designing and manufacturing the material handling equipment that makes heavy load movement safer, faster, and more precise on the production floor.
Whether you’re assembling structural steel components, modular building systems, or heavy construction equipment, Align’s material handling solutions are engineered for the real demands of heavy industry. We serve Fortune 500 manufacturers and industrial facilities that can’t afford downtime or damaged parts.
The Right Equipment Makes All the Difference
Large construction assembly parts require specialized solutions. Align’s solutions are built for exactly these demands:
- Industrial Turntables — rotate heavy assemblies for precise positioning, end of line racking, and inspection
- Pallet Transporters — battery-powered transport for moving large components across the facility floor safely and efficiently
- Hydraulic Upenders — tilt and reposition oversized parts from horizontal to vertical (or vice versa) with controlled, repeatable precision
- Air Caster Solutions (Airfloat) — move heavy, difficult-to-position loads with low friction, omnidirectional air caster technology
- Power Tuggers — ergonomic, battery-powered towing for pulling heavy loads through assembly lines and staging areas
- Conveyor Systems — custom-engineered to keep large parts moving continuously through your production process

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 Equipment 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.
Caterpillar Uses Airfloat to to Remove Assembly Line Bottlenecks
Caterpillar wanted to increase productivity at its Decatur, Illinois Mining Truck assembly line, which relied on a single-rail assembly line. The line routinely produced bottlenecks, as the trucks were hard to move off the rail.
SAV Handles Both Steel Coils and Stamping Dies on One Transporter
This semi-autonomous vehicle (SAV) navigates independently using magnetic pucks embedded in the floor but requires an operator to hold a controller switch for movement, combining guided automation with oversight.
Q&A
What types of construction assembly parts can Align equipment handle?
Align's material handling solutions are engineered for heavy, oversized loads including structural steel components, modular building assemblies, precast panels, and large construction equipment.
