A dedicated vertical station for assembling, squaring, and glazing timber windows — holding the frame at a comfortable working height so the operator can focus on accuracy rather than posture. Built for joinery workshops where consistent repeatable results at the assembly stage matter.
List Item: Timber frame fabricators cutting notches for ceiling structure reinforcement and lintel beams above windows and doors
List Item: Workshops producing balloon frame panels where multi-floor studs must connect cleanly with lintel beams at an offset
List Item: Off-site construction businesses looking to mechanise a notching operation that would otherwise be done by hand or with a router jig
This Product List:
List Item: Your operation regularly cuts notches into studs or lintel beams and doing this by hand or with a router jig is creating a bottleneck or inconsistency in your output
List Item: You are producing balloon frame panels where multi-floor studs require offset notches — a standard cross-cut saw or tenoning machine will not give you this
List Item: You need a machine that integrates into a broader timber frame production line alongside panel assembly and cross-cutting equipment
List Item: Dust control at the notching station is a priority — the full-enclosure extraction coverage is better suited to a managed workshop environment than an open hand-routing operation
Alternate List:
List Item: Your primary need is cross-cutting studs and beams to length rather than profiling them — the Soukup Crossline 500 or Crossline 650 Automatic Angle Cross Cut Saw would be more appropriate
List Item: You are at an early stage of setting up a timber frame production line and need a broader overview of the workflow — speak to us about the Soukup Framer Profi Wood House Technology system before specifying individual machines
List Item: Your notching requirement is occasional rather than a regular production task — a dedicated milling machine of this type is likely over-specified for low-volume or one-off work
List Item: You are primarily working with SIP panels rather than stick-built timber frame — the Soukup Notcher is designed around stud-and-beam framing; speak to IWM about whether it suits your specific SIP panel application before specifying

Built for offsite manufacturers who need consistent output without relying on operator skill at every step.
List Item: Joinery workshops producing curved or arched window and door frames requiring consistent, repeatable finger joints
List Item: Manufacturers working with segmented arch components who need precise lateral and vertical clamping control during glue-up
List Item: Bespoke timber frame and window producers where off-the-shelf pressing solutions cannot accommodate profiled curved sections
This Product List:
List Item: Your production regularly includes segmented arched frames and you need a press designed specifically around that geometry rather than adapting a general-purpose solution
List Item: Accurate lateral alignment of fully profiled segments during finger jointing is a quality-critical requirement in your workshop
List Item: You need repeatable arch radius setup across production runs without re-jigging from scratch each time
List Item: You are pressing curved window or door components where standard flat or straight-frame presses cannot safely or accurately hold the workpiece
Alternate List:
List Item: Your primary work is straight or flat window and door frames — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=57&catid=39">Soukup FP</a> Window & Door Press is likely a better-matched and more cost-effective choice for that application
List Item: You need a full assembly and glazing workflow rather than a dedicated pressing station — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=58&catid=21">Soukup Mounting & Glazing Stand GW 2500</a> may be worth discussing alongside or instead
List Item: Your volume of segmented arch work is low or occasional — it is worth talking to us about whether a dedicated machine is justified against your throughput before specifying
List Item: You require a larger or multi-function assembly table setup — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=109&catid=32">Soukup Assembling Table KS 2400</a> may suit workshops needing broader frame assembly capability
Key Specifications:
Specification Name: Clamping System, Specification Value: Pneumatic — vertical & lateral pistons, Specification Notes: Two vertically adjustable clamping pistons combined with a side piston allow independent control of joint pressure across profiled segments, which matters when sections vary in profile height.
Specification Name: Arch Radius Setup, Specification Value: Lateral stop included, Specification Notes: The lateral stop allows repeatable radius positioning between batches, reducing setup time when returning to a previously run arch specification.
Specification Name: Operation, Specification Value: Manually operated, Specification Notes: Manual operation gives the operator direct tactile control during pressing, which suits the varied geometries and smaller batch sizes typical of bespoke arch production.

A manually operated pneumatic press built specifically for finger jointing segmented arches in window and door production. For joinery workshops where curved frame geometry demands dedicated clamping control rather than a workaround.
List Item: Joinery workshops producing bespoke windows and doors who need one machine to handle milling, drilling, rebating, and hardware prep across a range of component profiles
List Item: Manufacturers already running an angular machining centre who need a dedicated downstream station for drilling muntin bar joints, mortising, and hardware routing without interrupting the main line
List Item: Smaller producers working on arched or curved window and door frames who cannot justify a full multi-machine line but still need consistent, repeatable results across up to four components at once
This Product List:
List Item: You need a single machine to handle the full range of window and door machining operations — milling, drilling, rebating, mortising, hardware prep — without investing in a multi-machine line
List Item: You produce arched or curved window and door frames alongside standard straight components and need one machine that handles both reliably
List Item: You already run a Soukup angular machining centre and need a downstream drilling and milling station that integrates directly with it via a label-scan workflow
List Item: Your work is predominantly bespoke or mixed-specification, and you need the flexibility to run different rebate profiles and hardware preparations on individual components within the same batch
Alternate List:
List Item: Your primary bottleneck is tenoning and end profiling rather than drilling and hardware prep — the Soukup Temac Automatic Single End Tenoning Machine or Soukup Wizard Tenon CNC Window Machine may address that more directly
List Item: You need higher throughput on standard window components and can work to more fixed specifications — the Soukup Crafter CNC Window Machining Centre or Soukup Wizard 4L Machine may be better matched to volume production
List Item: Your component range is narrower and a simpler three-axis CNC is sufficient — the Soukup Wizard 3S CNC Window Machine is worth discussing if the full flexibility of the Spectra is more than your workflow requires
List Item: Your budget or floor space is constrained — talk to IWM about where the Spectra sits relative to the Soukup range so we can help you specify the most appropriate machine for your actual output
Key Specifications:

The Versa Max takes a window or door component through drilling, mortising, lock pockets, hinge seats and tenon rounding in a single clamping, working from your window design data rather than settings dialled in at the machine. It suits workshops running mixed batches, where the joint positions change with every order.
List Item: Joinery workshops producing traditional timber windows at volume, where consistent quality across shifts matters more than flexibility
List Item: Manufacturers working with storm-proof glued sash and frame construction — sliding sash, casement windows, and timber doors — who need a machine built around that specific technique
List Item: Businesses that want the option to run tenoning and profiling independently when workflow or staffing demands it
This Product List:
List Item: Your workshop produces traditional timber windows at volume — 30–40 units per shift is a realistic and necessary target for your business
List Item: You work specifically with storm-proof glued sash and frame construction — sliding sash, casement, or timber doors — and need a machine designed around that process
List Item: You want the operational resilience of two discrete machines that can run independently, rather than a single integrated unit
List Item: You need CNC precision and repeatability across shifts without relying on manual setup for each window
Alternate List:
List Item: Your volumes are lower or your window range more varied — the Soukup Crafter CNC Window Machining Centre or Soukup Versa CNC Window Machine may be a better fit for mixed or lower-volume production
List Item: You need only tenoning capability and don't require the profiling unit — the Soukup Wizard Tenon CNC Window Machine or the Soukup Temac Automatic Single End Tenoning Machine are worth discussing with us
List Item: You are looking for a higher-capacity or more automated solution — the Soukup Wizard 4L, with its dual-side profiling and knock-down production capability of around 60 windows per shift, may suit a larger or more intensive operation; talk to us about where the threshold lies
List Item: Your floor space or budget cannot accommodate a two-machine configuration — we can help you understand the footprint and investment required before you commit
Key Specifications:
Specification Name: Output Capacity, Specification Value: 30–40 one-leaf windows per shift, Specification Notes: Based on traditional outside milling of sashes; actual throughput will depend on window size, complexity, and operator setup time.

A dedicated two-machine centre for joinery workshops producing storm-proof glued sash and frame windows at volume. Built around the traditional outside-milling method, it gives sliding sash and casement manufacturers CNC repeatability without abandoning the construction technique their customers expect.
List Item: Window and door manufacturers running a dedicated 7-hour shift who need consistent output of 30–40 traditional sliding sash or casement windows, or up to 60 knock-down units, per shift
List Item: Joinery workshops moving away from multi-stage manual processes who want tenoning and profiling controlled from a single industrial PC and touch screen
List Item: Businesses producing knock-down windows where milling from both sides of the component — using the left working spindle — is a regular production requirement
This Product List:
List Item: You need a single integrated CNC centre that handles both tenoning and profiling, and want to control both operations from one touch screen rather than managing separate standalone machines
List Item: Your target output is in the region of 30–60 windows per 7-hour shift and you want the flexibility to produce both traditional sash and knock-down window constructions on the same machine
List Item: Pre-squaring production is part of your process and you need a tenoning spindle configuration that can accommodate the full range of tenoning tooling without compromise
List Item: Surface finish quality is critical and you want a long gear feeder to eliminate chatter marks on profiled sections
Alternate List:
List Item: Your volume is lower or your production is less specialised — the Soukup Wizard 3S or Soukup Wizard Tenon CNC Window Machine may offer a more proportionate specification for smaller output requirements
List Item: You only need tenoning and do not require integrated profiling — the Soukup Temac Automatic Single End Tenoning Machine would be a more cost-appropriate choice
List Item: You need greater flexibility across a wider range of joinery components beyond windows and doors — the Soukup Versa CNC Window Machine may be worth discussing with us
List Item: Budget or floor space is a significant constraint — the Soukup Crafter CNC Window Machining Centre may represent a more suitable entry point; talk to us to compare footprints and outputs
Key Specifications:
Specification Name: Output (traditional windows), Specification Value: 30–40 single-leaf windows per 7-hr shift, Specification Notes: Based on outside milling of sashes using the standard tenoning cycle; actual output will vary with timber species, profile complexity, and operator setup time.
Specification Name: Output (knock-down windows), Specification Value: ~60 windows per 7-hr shift, Specification Notes: Achieved by using the left working spindle to mill from both sides — a configuration that significantly increases throughput for knock-down construction without adding a second machine.
Specification Name: Machine configuration, Specification Value: Two independent units (tenoning + profiling), Specification Notes: The two units can run as an integrated centre or independently, which gives you flexibility to schedule tenoning and profiling work separately if needed.
Specification Name: Control system, Specification Value: Industrial PC with touch screen and specialised control software
Full Specifications:
Specification Name: Machine configuration, Specification Value: Two independent units: one tenoning, one profiling
Specification Name: Control, Specification Value: Industrial PC with touch screen panel and specialised control software
Specification Name: Operating modes, Specification Value: Integrated working centre or two independent machines
Specification Name: Output — traditional windows, Specification Value: 30–40 single-leaf windows per 7-hr shift, Specification Notes: Based on outside milling of sashes on a standard 7-hour shift — confirm with IWM if your shift pattern differs.
Specification Name: Output — knock-down windows, Specification Value: ~60 windows per 7-hr shift
Specification Name: Tenoning spindles, Specification Value: Long spindles accommodating all types of tenoning tools, Specification Notes: Spindle length is specified to support the full range of tenoning tooling, meaning you are unlikely to be constrained when changing profile or joint types.
Specification Name: Profiling spindles, Specification Value: Dual left and right configuration, Specification Notes: The dual profiling spindle layout is what enables the pre-squaring production process — both sides of the component are machined in a single pass, maintaining squareness without manual repositioning.
Specification Name: Drive motors, Specification Value: High-speed brushless motors throughout
Specification Name: Feed system, Specification Value: Long gear feeder, Specification Notes: The extended gear feeder supports consistent, chatter-free feed through the cut, which directly affects surface finish quality on profiled sections.
Specification Name: Pre-squaring capability, Specification Value: Yes, Specification Notes: Pre-squaring means the machine squares the component as part of the tenoning cycle rather than requiring a separate operation — reducing handling and cumulative error.
Specification Name: Dimensions (maximum layout), Specification Value: 8,500 mm × 3,500 mm, Specification Notes: This is the maximum combined footprint of both units — allow additional clearance beyond this envelope for feed, extraction ducting, and operator access on both sides before confirming your floor space.
Specification Name: Weight, Specification Value: 4,800 kg, Specification Notes: At this weight, floor loading should be checked with your structural engineer before installation, particularly for upper-floor or mezzanine workshops.
Specification Name: Power requirement, Specification Value: 88 kW, Specification Notes: A 3-phase supply will be required — confirm available amperage and supply capacity at your site with your electrician before ordering.
Specification Name: Dust extraction connections, Specification Value: 5 outlets, Specification Notes: Five extraction points across the combined machine — confirm individual spigot sizes from the layout drawing with IWM when planning your extraction system.
Specification Name: Certification, Specification Value: UKCA marked, Specification Notes: UKCA marking confirms the machine meets Great Britain's health, safety, and environmental requirements for placing on the GB market.

A purpose-built CNC tenoning machine for timber window and door frames, producing multiple profiles in a single bidirectional pass. Built for joinery manufacturers who need consistent, repeatable tenon geometry without the setup time of general-purpose machinery.
List Item: Timber frame manufacturers who have outgrown ad-hoc bench assembly and need a repeatable, structured process
List Item: Workshops where quality inconsistency between operators is becoming a production or warranty concern
List Item: Businesses increasing panel output but unable or unwilling to proportionally grow their workforce
This Product List:
List Item: Your current panel assembly process relies on improvised benching or floor assembly, and repeatability is suffering
List Item: You need to increase panel throughput but your production bottleneck is at the assembly stage rather than cutting
List Item: Quality consistency between different operators or shifts is a recurring issue you need to resolve structurally
List Item: You are planning or expanding an offsite timber frame or SIP manufacturing facility and need a purpose-built assembly station
Alternate List:
List Item: Your primary constraint is cutting speed rather than assembly — the Soukup Crossline 650 Automatic Angle Cross Cut Saw or Crossline 500 may be the more immediate investment
List Item: Your production volume justifies a heavier-duty, permanently installed station with overhead crane integration — the Soukup Framer Profi is designed for exactly that environment
List Item: You need a complete timber frame production technology package rather than a single assembly station — the Soukup Framer Profi Wood House Technology line may be the more appropriate specification
List Item: Your operation requires finished panels to be stored or moved vertically after assembly — the Timber Frame Offsite Panels Vertical Transporter should be considered alongside this table
List Item: Your volume is low enough that a dedicated assembly table cannot be justified on utilisation grounds — speak to IWM about whether your throughput warrants this level of capital investment
Key Specifications:
Specification Name: Configuration, Specification Value: Modular — 6 m, 9 m, or 12 m lengths, Specification Notes: The table is supplied in bolt-assembled modules, so the footprint can be matched to your available floor length and extended later as output grows — confirm your target panel sizes and bay dimensions with IWM before specifying.
Specification Name: Max Panel Width (with extension), Specification Value: 3800 mm, Specification Notes: Standard crossbar covers 3000 mm; the 800 mm removable beam extension brings total crossbar reach to 3800 mm, which accommodates full-height UK storey panels without a separate jig.
Specification Name: Clamping System, Specification Value: Pneumatic — 1200 N at 6 bar, Specification Notes: The table requires a compressed air supply at 6 bar; confirm your workshop compressor capacity with IWM, as multiple pneumatic clamp units running simultaneously will affect demand.
Specification Name: Configuration, Specification Value: Modular — bolt-assembled, flat-packed delivery, Specification Notes: Components are engineered to be assembled on-site, which reduces delivery costs and allows the table to be reconfigured or relocated as your production layout changes.
Specification Name: Available Lengths, Specification Value: 6 m / 9 m / 12 m, Specification Notes: Length determines how many working modules are active simultaneously — allow at least 1 m clearance at each end for panel overhang, operator access, and finished panel removal.
Specification Name: Module Field Dimensions, Specification Value: 1000 × 3000 mm per module
Specification Name: Max Panel Width (standard crossbar), Specification Value: 3000 mm
Specification Name: Max Panel Width (with beam extension), Specification Value: 3800 mm, Specification Notes: The 800 mm removable crossbar extension is added or removed per job — no tooling required — making it practical to switch between standard and gable-height panels within a shift.
Specification Name: Clamping Stroke, Specification Value: 125 mm
Specification Name: Clamping Force, Specification Value: 1200 N
Specification Name: Air Pressure Requirement, Specification Value: 6 bar, Specification Notes: Each air distributor unit supports up to 3 pneumatic clamp units — size your compressor to the number of modules in use concurrently, not just the total table length.
Specification Name: Raster Board, Specification Value: Heavy-duty steel, 1000 × 3000 mm × 8 mm plate, Specification Notes: The steel raster board allows clamp units to be repositioned freely across the grid, so stud spacing and panel layout changes do not require new tooling or jigs.
Specification Name: Worksurface Option, Specification Value: Replaceable waterproof plywood panel on steel frame (alternative to raster board)
Specification Name: Dimensions (overall), Specification Value: Dependent on module count — confirm with IWM, Specification Notes: Overall footprint varies with the length configuration chosen; allow additional clearance on all sides for panel feed, finished panel removal, and operator movement before committing to a floor plan.
Specification Name: Weight, Specification Value: Confirm with IWM, Specification Notes: Weight is not published by the manufacturer and varies with module count and accessory fit — request a configuration-specific figure from IWM before finalising any floor-loading assessment.
Specification Name: Power Requirement, Specification Value: Pneumatic (6 bar compressed air) — no mains motor, Specification Notes: The Framer Modular has no electrical drive motor; the only utility connection required is a compressed air supply at 6 bar.
Specification Name: Output / Production Rate, Specification Value: Confirm with IWM, Specification Notes: Cycle time per panel depends on panel complexity, operator count, and stud spacing — speak to IWM about throughput modelling for your specific product mix before making a business case.
A bolt-together, component-based assembly table for offsite timber frame and SIP panel production. Built to give smaller and growing manufacturers a structured, repeatable assembly station without the cost or commitment of a fully automated line.
List Item: Joinery workshops producing doors, windows, or staircases where consistent moulded profiles are a daily requirement
List Item: Shops already running curved or shaped components who need a ring fence and sliding table as standard, not as an afterthought
List Item: Businesses that use a variety of tooling types and want the flexibility of both a 30mm spindle and a separate collet attachment without changing machines
This Product List:
List Item: You need a sliding table as part of the standard package — it is included here, not an optional extra
List Item: Your work involves curved or shaped components and you need a ring fence ready to use from day one
List Item: You want tooling flexibility with both the MK5 tapered spindle and collet attachment supplied together
List Item: You run repeat batch profiles and need a reliable height readout to return to recorded settings quickly
Alternate List:
List Item: Your work involves angled or bevelled mouldings — the <a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=106&catid=31">Tilting Spindle Moulder IWM Soukup</a> is designed for that application and would be a more appropriate choice
List Item: You do not need a sliding table and would prefer a simpler, more compact machine — a standard spindle moulder without the sliding table may suit lower-complexity work better
List Item: Your throughput is very low and the full capability of this machine would rarely be used — discuss with IWM whether a lighter-duty option makes more sense for your situation
Key Specifications:
Specification Name: Spindle Speeds, Specification Value: 4,000 / 6,000 / 8,000 / 10,000 RPM, Specification Notes: Four discrete speeds let you match the spindle to the tooling diameter and timber species — slower speeds for large-diameter cutters, higher speeds for fine profiling work.
Specification Name: Max. Tool Diameter, Specification Value: 300 mm
Specification Name: Table Size, Specification Value: 1,000 × 750 mm, Specification Notes: A generous table area supports longer workpieces without additional outfeed support in most joinery applications.

A heavy-duty spindle moulder with sliding table, ring fence, and collet attachment included as standard — built for joinery workshops that need to move between straight profiling, curved work, and dovetailing without switching machines.
List Item: Joinery and furniture workshops regularly processing wide or thick hardwood boards where surface finish quality is non-negotiable
List Item: Bespoke timber operations that need accurate, repeatable settings across long production runs without constant manual re-adjustment
List Item: Workshops with the floor space and structural capacity to accommodate a machine built for long-term heavy use rather than occasional light work
This Product List:
List Item: You are regularly surfacing hardwoods or wide boards and need a machine with the mass and rigidity to hold accuracy under sustained load
List Item: Surface finish quality is critical to your output and you want the reduced tearout and quieter operation that a spiral helical cutterblock delivers over straight knives
List Item: You need powered, digitally-displayed table height adjustment to set depths quickly and accurately across a busy production day
List Item: You have the floor space, structural floor loading capacity, and extraction infrastructure to install and run a machine of this scale properly
Alternate List:
List Item: Your planing width requirement is consistently under 400mm — a narrower machine will cost less to buy and run without sacrificing anything for your actual work; talk to us about the lighter-duty options in our surface planer range
List Item: Your workshop processes predominantly softwoods at lower volumes, where a less heavily built machine without powered table adjustment may represent better value; ask us which mid-range model suits your throughput
List Item: Your floor loading or available floorspace cannot accommodate a 770kg, 2650mm-deep machine — talk to us about what smaller-footprint options exist
List Item: Budget is the primary constraint and the powered table and helical block are more than your work requires — a manual-adjust straight-knife planer may serve your needs at significantly lower cost; we can discuss what is available at enquiry stage
Specification Name: Cutterblock, Specification Value: Spiral helical, 120mm diameter, 4500 RPM, Specification Notes: A spiral helical block with 4-sided reversible knives produces a significantly quieter cut than straight-knife blocks and allows individual inserts to be rotated rather than the full set being replaced, reducing both downtime and tooling cost over time.
Specification Name: Infeed Table, Specification Value: 1420mm with powered rise & fall and digital display, Specification Notes: Powered rise and fall with a digital readout removes the need for manual depth gauging, which is a meaningful time saving when you are setting up repeatedly across different material thicknesses.
Specification Name: Machine Weight, Specification Value: 770kg, Specification Notes: At 770kg this machine will require a structural floor loading check before installation — consult your building surveyor if you are unsure of your workshop's capacity.
Specification Name: Fence Tilt, Specification Value: 0–45° via rack and pinion, Specification Notes: Rack and pinion movement gives controlled, repeatable fence tilt for consistent bevel work rather than relying on clamped freehand adjustment.
Specification Name: Motor Power, Specification Value: 7.5 HP / 4kW, Specification Notes: A machine of this class and weight is designed for three-phase supply — confirm your workshop has an adequate three-phase connection and the correct amperage capacity with your electrician before ordering.
Specification Name: Electrical Supply, Specification Value: Three-phase — confirm supply requirements with IWM at point of enquiry
Specification Name: Overall Machine Dimensions, Specification Value: 900 x 2650 x 1250mm (W x D x H), Specification Notes: Allow additional clearance beyond the machine footprint for workpiece infeed and outfeed on both sides, and for extraction ducting — a minimum of 1.5–2m each end is a practical working guide for the longest boards you intend to process.
Specification Name: Noise Level, Specification Value: Contact IWM for confirmed noise data, Specification Notes: Noise levels for surface planers of this class typically exceed 80dB in operation — discuss acoustic treatment and PPE requirements with us when specifying the installation.
Specification Name: Extraction Spigot Size, Specification Value: Contact IWM for confirmed spigot diameter, Specification Notes: Ensure your extraction contractor knows the confirmed spigot size before sizing ducting — we can supply this detail at point of enquiry.

List Item: Joinery shops running moulded sections, window components, or door parts who need consistent, repeatable spindle positioning
List Item: Workshops producing curved or shaped work who need a ring fence arrangement as part of their standard setup
List Item: Businesses that want to add a power feed in future without retrofitting — the machine arrives pre-wired and table-drilled for one
This Product List:
List Item: Your work regularly involves angled or tilted profiles — window cills, splayed components, or similar — where a fixed-spindle machine would require angled tooling or jigs instead
List Item: You need repeatable, precise positioning and want digital readout for both height and tilt rather than relying on manual scales
List Item: Curved work forms part of your production and you want the ring fence arrangement included as standard rather than as an afterthought
List Item: You are not running a sliding table workflow and a standard table with pre-drilled power feed provision meets your current and near-future needs
Alternate List:
List Item: Your work involves tenoning, panel raising, or processing larger frame components where a sliding table would improve accuracy and operator safety — in which case the IWM Soukup ST-SM Sliding Table Spindle Moulder is worth discussing
List Item: Your volume or the nature of your work means a power feed is not optional but essential from day one — confirm the power feed compatibility with IWM before specifying this model
List Item: Your workshop electrical supply is single-phase only — speak to IWM to confirm the motor specification before proceeding, as this machine requires a 3-phase supply
List Item: You are running very high daily production volumes where a heavier-duty or more automated setup may be more appropriate — talk to IWM about the full Soukup range

A tilting spindle moulder with LED-accurate rise, fall, and angle control — built for joinery and bespoke workshops that need repeatable, precise profiles without time-consuming trial and error.
List Item: Off-site timber frame manufacturers who need to move finished or part-assembled wall panels between assembly, insulation, and wrapping stations without disrupting production flow
List Item: SIP panel fabricators working with panels up to 12m in length where manual movement is a safety or quality risk
List Item: Workshops scaling up off-site production capacity and looking to reduce reliance on forklift movements within the factory floor
This Product List:
List Item: You are moving timber frame or SIP panels of up to 12m in length between fixed workstations and need a dedicated, repeatable handling solution rather than ad-hoc forklift movements
List Item: Your production volume means panel transit is a regular, daily activity and manual handling is either a safety concern or a bottleneck
List Item: You are laying out a new off-site manufacturing line and want panel movement integrated into the station-to-station workflow from the start
List Item: You are working alongside other Soukup timber frame equipment — assembly tables, cross-cut saws — and need panel handling that fits within the same production system
Alternate List:
List Item: You need horizontal flat-bed storage between production runs rather than active transit — the Soukup Track Storage system may be more appropriate for that purpose
List Item: Your panels are shorter or lighter and a simpler manual or semi-manual handling solution would suffice — talk to us about whether a full motorised transporter is justified at your current volumes
List Item: Your facility layout does not permit fixed transverse tracks — speak to us about your floor plan and we can advise on whether alternative handling arrangements within the Soukup range are suitable
List Item: You are at an earlier stage of production setup and your immediate priority is cutting or assembly — the Soukup Framer Modular Assembly Table or Framer Profi system may be the right starting point before investing in panel transport infrastructure
Key Specifications:
Specification Name: Working Length, Specification Value: 6m, 9m, or 12m, Specification Notes: The working length should be matched to your longest panel size — confirm the configuration required before ordering, as this will determine the track layout and floor space commitment.
Specification Name: Load Capacity, Specification Value: 2,000 kg, Specification Notes: At 2,000 kg, floor loading beneath the track system should be verified with your structural engineer, particularly in mezzanine or older industrial building scenarios.
Specification Name: Drive System, Specification Value: Motorised, electronically controlled feed rate, Specification Notes: Electronic feed rate control allows the operator to move panels at a consistent, adjustable speed — reducing the risk of panel damage or instability during transit.

A dedicated motorised track system for moving full-size timber frame and SIP panels — up to 12m long and 2,000 kg — between assembly, insulation, and wrapping stations without a forklift. Built for off-site manufacturers who need panel transit to be safe, repeatable, and integrated into the production line.
List Item: Offsite timber frame manufacturers who are losing time searching for, repositioning, or queuing panels before dispatch
List Item: Workshops scaling up panel output and finding that ad-hoc storage is becoming a bottleneck between production and delivery
List Item: Production managers who need a week's worth of panel capacity held safely upright and ready to access without disrupting the manufacturing flow
This Product List:
List Item: Your finishing operations — window fitting, façade prep, service installation — are happening at the panel rather than at a separate station, and you need panels to stay upright and accessible throughout
List Item: Panels are currently stacked flat or stored without sequence, and re-handling them before dispatch is eating into production time
List Item: You are running a volume of output that requires a buffer between the manufacturing line and the loading bay to avoid one stage holding up the other
List Item: You are designing or expanding an offsite manufacturing facility and want the storage layout planned as part of the production flow from the outset
Alternate List:
List Item: You need to move panels between floors or across significant distances within the facility — the Timber Frame Off Site Panels Vertical Transporter may be the more appropriate solution or a complementary addition
List Item: Your immediate requirement is panel assembly rather than storage — the Soukup Framer Modular Assembly Table addresses the upstream stage of panel production
List Item: You are at an earlier stage of evaluating a complete timber frame line and have not yet confirmed cutting or framing equipment — the Soukup Framer Profi Wood House Technology or the Soukup Crossline saws may need to be considered first as part of a broader specification
List Item: Your output volume is lower and a formal track storage system may be disproportionate to your current throughput — talk to us and we can help assess whether this is the right investment at your current scale
Key Specifications:
Specification Name: Panel Orientation, Specification Value: Vertical, Specification Notes: Holding panels upright means window installation and façade work can be carried out in the storage position, avoiding the time cost of re-handling panels before finishing.
Specification Name: Recommended Capacity, Specification Value: Approx. one week's panel output, Specification Notes: Sizing the storage to hold roughly one week of production output is the standard reference point for avoiding dispatch queues from interrupting the manufacturing line.
Specification Name: Layout, Specification Value: Configured to building footprint, Specification Notes: Track layout is designed around your specific floor plan and dispatch sequence — IWM can advise on arrangement to match your available bay and panel throughput.
Specification Name: Recommended Storage Capacity, Specification Value: Approximately one week's panel output, Specification Notes: This is a design guideline, not a fixed unit capacity — the actual number of panels depends on panel dimensions and track layout.
Specification Name: Track Layout Configuration, Specification Value: Bespoke to facility, Specification Notes: Configuration is determined by building dimensions, dispatch sequence, and production flow — no standard layout applies; IWM will advise at specification stage.
Specification Name: Dimensions, Specification Value: Project-specific, Specification Notes: The track system is sized to fit the available bay — confirm building dimensions and floor loading capacity with IWM before finalising the layout.
A vertical track storage system for wall panels, giving offsite manufacturers a sequenced, accessible buffer between the production line and the loading bay. Panels stay upright, finishing work continues in the storage position, and dispatch queues stop interrupting manufacturing.
