42" Tommy Transporter Conveyor Belt System
Maximize your facility's potential with the 42" Tommy Transporter Dual Belt Conveyor. This is the ultimate upgrade from traditional chain-and-roller systems, designed to increase your vehicle throughput, eliminate customer loading anxiety, and minimize vehicle damage claims. The increased 42 inch belt width makes this model especially versatile, accommodating nearly any vehicle on the road.
Key Benefits of the Tommy Transporter:
- Unrivaled Vehicle Accommodation: The extra-wide 42 inch dual belt design provides the most forgiving loading experience, accommodating the widest range of vehicles, including lowered cars and even the largest dually trucks.
- Easy, Low-Stress Loading: Eliminates the difficulty and anxiety associated with traditional guide rails and correlators. Customers simply drive onto the belt and shift to neutral, minimizing the need for constant staff assistance.
- Increased Throughput: The easy-loading, continuous-movement design allows you to process significantly more vehicles per hour, maximizing your revenue and minimizing customer wait times.
- Reduced Maintenance: With fewer moving parts like chains and rollers, the Transporter requires significantly less daily maintenance compared to older systems.
- Versatile Application: Ideal for full-service, flex-service, express exterior, and especially perfect for dedicated detailing or hand-wash lanes where staff need room to work alongside the vehicle.
- Primered Steel Frame: Offers a cost-effective and strong structural foundation with a demonstrated service life of 13 years.
- The system is perfect for new, high-volume installations or for retrofitting existing chain-and-roller conveyor systems, providing a smooth and gentle "magic carpet ride" for every customer.
