HORIZONTAL MOVEMENT
GROUND TRACK
WI offer a wide range of motion control systems for all sorts of applications: track trolleys, chain hoists, winches, rotators, elevators and turntables. Custom made solutions to meet your requests are of course always possible on request.
One of our high demand rental products is the Heavy Duty Ground Track. This fantastic WI engineered tracking system is designed to flexibly move structures from really very large to large to very small as you wish and this along a predefined track. Just like all our motion devices, the Heavy Duty Ground Track can be connected to our control network and steered from one desk together with all the other interconnected devices.
When our Heavy Duty Ground Track is hired. we usually combine different gear from our rental stock together with the ground track drive units. This way a relatively cheap and easy solution can be provided for a great effect, especially when large volumes need to be smoothly moved. Just reach out would you wish any custom parts to be designed and fabricate.

The dimensions of the entire structure depend on the structure that has to be moved.
- The master and the slave drive unit are similar in size.
- The beams fit perfectly between a standard scaffolding structure. After installing the scaffolding, it’s pretty easy to install the track beams in between. On top of these beams, a steel tube is placed which acts as the track.
DRIVE UNITS
Our own WI developed automation system with drives powers the servo-motors, each powering a master drive unit per cart. A second slave drive unit is needed to steer the carts smoothly through the 2 curved sections of the track and to handle resulting horizontal wind loads on the LED screens.
The heavy duty ground track system has a positional accuracy of 1 centimeter. The maximum speed of movement is 300 mm/sec with the carts moving extremely smoothly and precisely steered by our own WIMOTION control system.
