Coming Soon: Sneak Peek into Our Product Developments in Progress
Explore Flotron’s Product Development Section where we are diligently creating the next generation of “Off-the-shelf” products. You’ll find an array of designs, many of which are nearing completion or are versions of custom solutions that we’re eager to transform into readily available products. If you spot something that aligns with your needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our sales team for more information and updates on the development progress. Your feedback and interest are invaluable as we continue to innovate and expand our product offerings.
Flotron’s Satellite Upender (SU-2500) can rotate 90 degrees from horizontal to vertical, or vice versa to allow for solar array deployment, satellite integration, or pass through hallways and doorways among other applications. There are counterweights to reduce the load on the gearboxes. The SU-2500 allows for ergonomic transportation of small satellites during their move through a customer’s facility.
The cart can support a 2,500 lb payload with a 30” CG offset from the interface plate. A hard stop with audible alarms limits the travel to prevent damage to the payload. Custom modifications are available; however, stability and keep out zones will limit the design. The upender will have optional fixed interface or pinned second axis of rotation.

- The maximum distance between mounting interfaces is directly related to the main beam length. Specify the distance between mounting interfaces to be at or slightly longer than the length of the payload. The end frames can be adjusted inward to accommodate shorter length payloads, however the main beam(s) protruding beyond the end frames may result in a trip hazard. For more information see the SFP-800 SERIES OPTIONS page and SFP-800 SERIES CREATING A MODEL NUMBER pdf.

Flotron’s Small Foot Print (SFP) 1000 series Rotation Fixtures are a higher capacity, more compact version of the 1000 series where floor space is a premium. The SFP-1000 series includes additional features and options; lift points above the CG capable of lifting the Flotron (with the payload integrated), one inch of axial float on the non-gearbox side trunnion to ease payload integration, flat leg design to lower the rotation centerline height without sacrificing available payload swing radius, lighter weight to ease maneuverability, elimination of single failure points for launch site compatibility, needle roller bearing bushings on the non-gearbox-side trunnion, as well as an option for a cordless hand drill to rotate the gearbox. They are supplied with a heavy-duty, hollow shaft, stairstep resistant gearboxes to handle large, off-center loads that may occur during assembly of the mounted payload. See below for data on the SFP-1000 series models and click on any image for additional information.
