Timber Frame off Site Panels Vertical Transporter

Soukup · IWM
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.

Typically chosen by

  • 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
  • SIP panel fabricators working with panels up to 12m in length where manual movement is a safety or quality risk
  • Workshops scaling up off-site production capacity and looking to reduce reliance on forklift movements within the factory floor

Key specification considerations

Working Length
6m, 9m, or 12m
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.
Load Capacity
2,000 kg
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.
Drive System
Motorised, electronically controlled feed rate
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.
Control Panel
Relocatable
A relocatable control panel means the operator can position themselves at the safest vantage point during panel movement, which is a practical benefit in busy production environments.

Working Length Options
6m / 9m / 12m
These are the standard configurations — bespoke or intermediate track lengths may be available on request; discuss your exact panel sizes with us before specifying.
Load Capacity
2,000 kg
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.
Movement Type
Motorised, along transverse tracks
Feed Rate Control
Smooth, electronically controlled
Control Panel
Relocatable
A relocatable control panel means the operator can position themselves at the safest vantage point during panel movement, which is a practical benefit in busy production environments.
Manufacturer
Soukup s.r.o. (Czech Republic)
Machine Weight
Confirm with IWM at time of enquiry
Machine weight varies by track length configuration — contact us with your chosen working length and we will confirm the figure and advise on any floor loading implications.
Power Requirement
Confirm with IWM at time of enquiry
Electrical supply requirements depend on track length and motor specification — confirm phase and amperage with us before ordering to ensure your supply is adequate.
Overall Footprint
Determined by track length configuration
Additional clearance is required at each end of the track for panel overhang and operator access — allow for this when planning your factory layout.
CE / UKCA Certification
Confirm with IWM at time of enquiry
Certification status should be confirmed before purchase — talk to us and we will verify the applicable conformity documentation for UK supply.

Is this the right
machine for you?

Choose the Timber Frame off Site Panels Vertical Transporter if...

  • 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
  • Your production volume means panel transit is a regular, daily activity and manual handling is either a safety concern or a bottleneck
  • You are laying out a new off-site manufacturing line and want panel movement integrated into the station-to-station workflow from the start
  • 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

Consider an alternate model if...

  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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
