BENTELER receives a tailored transport system for large goods carriers in tight spaces

Grenzebach developed and implemented customer-specific superstructures and charging stations for the automotive supplier's automated intralogistics. Tight space conditions and very large goods carriers required a high degree of adaptation of the vehicles to the individual situation. By working together as partners, Grenzebach quickly developed and implemented a suitable concept with the customer.
