HaloDrive Pods

Industrial Omnidirectional Wheels

Conceptual Innovations’ patented technology featured in the HaloDrive Pods enables these motor-powered, omnidirectional wheels unlimited maneuverability. HaloDrive Pods are designed for modular integration to add mobility to a variety of extreme-duty industrial applications with a maximum weight capacity of 50 tons and dimensions up to 250 feet with extreme accuracy +/- .5MM.

✓ Modular integration for application-specific configurations
✓ Independently rotating electric caster wheels
✓ Enable all axle movement
✓ Precision within +/- .5MM
✓ Start in any direction
✓ Wheel tread options available

Reduce capital investment and save space

  • Does not require any modifications to facilities or special flooring, rails, tracks, etc.
  • Retrofit existing equipment to reduce equipment expenditures.
  • Begin movement in ANY direction to significantly reduce floor space needed to maneuver and position.
  • Maneuver through narrow areas
  • Lower purchase, operation, and maintenance costs compared to other equipment with similar load-weight capacities.

Improve safety and increase productivity

  • Position with extreme precision (accuracy within millimeters).
  • Does not require certification or specialized training to operate.
  • Reduce the risk of injury or damage to products, equipment, and facilities.
  • Motor-driven design minimizes operator effort, reducing fatigue and the risk of overexertion.
  • Increases load capacity that can be moved by a single operator

Solves unique and complex industrial mobility challenges

  • Add powered mobility to custom, very large, or extremely heavy equipment.
  • Combine multiple pods in one application to increase weight capacity and drive power.
  • Can be used in various and unique applications (Aircraft or heavy equipment platforms, large parts carriers, material handling carts, etc.)
  • Engineering expertise available for the development of material handling and industrial mobility solutions.
  • All-axle steering enables complex maneuvering and rotation in place to save valuable floor space and increase production efficiency.

 

Retrofit Existing Equipment

The HaloDrive Pods are ideal for adding omnidirectional motor-powered mobility by retrofitting equipment used in the manufacturing and maintenance of

✓ Aircrafts
✓ Automobiles

Halo Drive Pods Sample Configurations

Omnidirectional, All-Axle Steering allows each Pod to position independently, enabling movement with extreme precision with a lower turning radius.
• Begin movement in any direction from a dead stop.
• Maneuver through tight spots.
• Spin around in place.
• Make turns with a tighter radius.
