Custom Engineered Solutions

Turnkey Systems Custom Engineered for the Application

Conceptual Innovations integrates electric drive systems with hydraulic capabilities, leveraging engineering expertise and technology to develop turnkey, semi-automated solutions that improve materials movement and manufacturing functions.

As a leading designer and manufacturer of custom-engineered solutions for over 2 decades, Conceptual Innovations expertise includes two patented drive systems. Our specialty is integrated drive systems for application-specific material handling carts and the movement of heavy equipment from 1 to 100 tons.
From complete systems to retrofitting existing equipment, Conceptual Innovations can:

Engineer and manufacture a turnkey solution for your application
Engineer a drive system for integration into equipment under development
Design a drive system to upgrade or retrofit existing equipment

We also offer engineering design and consulting services if needed.

Custom Engineered to Deliver ROI

Every custom solution provides a tangible monetary return on investment along with priceless benefits (less injuries, safer working environments) that improve morale and increase worker retention. Our motorized options also increase load capacity to move more material per trip.

In addition, the extreme maneuverability and precision handling of our drive systems help reduce floor space requirements, offers better battery management, reduces the risk of damage to both the load and facilities, and enables a single operator to run without needing a special license or certification.

Turnkey Solutions For Complex Challenges

Rely on Conceptual Innovations for engineering expertise coupled with made-to-order manufacturing capabilities to develop a custom solution for moving the most complex, unique, extremely heavy, or massively large equipment and materials.

Case Study

Tandem – Semi Frame Rail

Transporters – Frame lengths varied from 20 to 50 feet

Both carts are controlled in tandem and also operate individually
Hydraulic lift
Integrated charger, simply plug into any 120V AC source

Replaced overhead cranes

Semi Truck Frame Rail Cart | Lifting Capacity of 8000 lbs. (conceptual-innovations.com)

Heavy Equipment Transmission Cart

Purchased in 2012, we are refurbishing all of the carts in 2024 to provide another decade or more of use. We helped customers save a fortune in equipment costs and help the environment.

Transmission is Hydraulically:

Rotated
Raised
Tilted

Safety Mats on outrigger legs that disable the entire system if an operator steps up

Aircraft Maintenance Platform (Retrofit)

8,000 lbs weight capacity
Must be properly positioned to enable laborers to safely reach aircraft
Drive system reduced labor required to move and position from 10 people to 1 operator and 1 spotter
