The Twinlode Corp. has been issued a provisional patent for a triple-wide racking system that the company will market under the name Trilode. The new system, which the company premiered at the ProMat2007 materials handling convention last month, enables the transfer and storage of three pallets simultaneously.
The patent is a design extension of the firm's namesake Twinlode dual-pallet system that allows two pallets to be moved, stacked and stored as one load.
The firm recently completed final testing of the new triple system, including compatibility with conventional fork trucks and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV).
If the new system proves popular, will Twinlode become Trilode? Is Quadlode far away? The firm has not said.
Headquartered in South Bend, Ind., the firm also operates facilities in Wheaton, Ill. and Salinas, Calif.
