Industrial machine relocation
With the Hoeflon TC1, you move heavy machines, parts, and components through tight production halls and technical rooms. The carrier is compact, electric, and moves in a controlled manner on tracks. This allows for internal transport in places where forklifts or cranes are too large.
For production halls and technical rooms
The machine needs to go inside. There is little room.
In factories, workshops, and production halls, installations are rarely located on spacious, empty floors. Machines must be moved along existing lines, through doorways, across floors that must remain protected, and right to the spot where they are mounted or connected.
The Hoeflon TC1 was developed for these types of compact transport movements. It can carry heavy loads, remains narrow, and operates electrically. This makes it an attractive option for internal transport and positioning when large equipment cannot get close enough.
In existing halls, transport is often more difficult than the hoisting work.
Installing a new machine or replacing a component seems simple on paper. In practice, the part must first pass through a route with limited space, sensitive floors, curves, installations, and safety zones. A forklift requires a turning radius. A crane cannot always reach the right spot. Manually moving heavy components is not a realistic option.
Moreover, accuracy counts in industrial environments. The load must not only be moved from A to B, but controlled to within close proximity of the assembly position.
• Production halls have limited maneuvering space.
• Large forklifts or cranes often cannot reach the position.
• Existing floors and installations must not be damaged.
• Heavy components require controlled, slow movement.
• Working indoors requires clean electrical equipment.
The Hoeflon solution
A compact carrier for controlled internal transport
The Tracked Carrier moves heavy components through routes where large equipment gets stuck. With a width of 700 mm, the carrier can maneuver through narrow passages and between installations. The crawler drive distributes the weight and provides grip, while the electric drive is suitable for use within production and technical environments.
For industrial machine movement, this means: less improvisation, less physical strain, and more control over the final stretch to the position. The carrier is particularly strong when space is limited but the load remains substantial.
Building machines for places where standard equipment falls short
Hoeflon builds compact machines for professionals who need to move heavy loads in tight and technical locations. This experience aligns with industrial environments where accessibility, control, and reliability are more important than brute size.
The TC1 fits this philosophy. It is not a generic transport trolley, but a compact electric transport carrier with crawler tracks and remote control. For companies that frequently move machines, this can make the difference between fitting, squeezing, or controlled operation.
Maneuvering between existing installations
The TC1 remains compact and can be deployed on routes where forklifts or cranes are not practical.
Bringing heavy components closer to the position
The carrier helps not only to transport parts, but also to get them in a controlled manner close to the assembly site.
Working indoors without exhaust fumes
The electric drive is suitable for production halls, technical rooms, and work environments where fuel-powered equipment is undesirable.
Lower taxes on people
Heavy parts require less manual pushing, lifting, or moving. The team guides the load instead of carrying it themselves.
Distribute weight better
The caterpillar drive distributes the load differently than narrow wheels. This can be relevant on existing or sensitive floors.
Precise driving during positioning
The TC1 drives in a controlled manner at walking speed. That helps when the last few centimeters matter.
Why TC1
The TC1 is particularly interesting when the problem is not just the weight, but the route to the location. With a width of 700 mm and a height of 335 mm, the carrier remains compact. With a capacity of 1,000 kg, it can still carry heavy parts. Thanks to remote control, the operator can monitor the route, obstacles, and position of the load.

Practical application
For
installation, maintenance and internal logistics
In industrial environments, the TC1 can add value at multiple stages: when installing new machines, replacing components, moving tools, or transporting heavy parts internally.
Possible application points:
• Bringing machine parts to the assembly position.
• Moving components through tight routes in production halls.
• Supporting maintenance teams with heavy tools or modules.
• Moving materials in workshops and technical rooms.
• Combining transport with compact lifting or positioning equipment.
For companies that want to solve heavy internal transport in a controlled manner
This application is relevant for companies that need to move machines, parts, or technical components within existing halls, workshops, or facilities.
• Manufacturing companies • Machine builders • Industrial maintenance parties • Installation companies • Technical service providers • Workshops and assembly sites
