A few weeks ago, we shipped out two new in partnership with Savant Automation. Tuff has delivered more than 10 of these systems (enough that one of the engineers has lost count), and in exchange, we got one of the early units back for a little .

These units were designed to carry Combines ( ) through the full production process while allowing operators to get up close with the units for assembly. The systems have a lift to keep the unit close to the ground for operators during assembly, then to lift to operating height for final wheel assembly before lowering to let the drive off as a finished unit.

We've still got significant work to validate the more complicated curves and transfers, but we were able to move the straight sections ahead to help their team begin their wiring and setup.
