TS PRECISION LINEAR CARRIAGE SYSTEMS
A linear carriage must be precise, durable, and reliable. TS Manufacturing's Linear Carriages are built with these concepts in mind. Whether it is our reliable Boardmaster series of carriages, or our state of the art, patented, Accu-Chrome series – precision, durability and reliability come standard.
BOARDMASTER SERIES
Our Boardmaster Carriages have been in operation for over 30 years. From the simple automatic to the fully equipped, linear positioning slant, TS Carriages are synonymous with quality and commitment to service.
Our Boardmaster Carriages are available in hydraulic linear positioning or electric positioning; in flat or slant configurations, with either board or tong dogging styles. The Boardmaster family comes standard in 36", 42", and 48" sizes with a variety of accessories available.

ACCU-CHROME SERIES
Our patented Accu-Chrome Carriages have been in trouble-free operation since 1988. This revolutionary design offers reduced maintenance, increased precision and a lowered total cost of ownership in comparison with conventional carriages.
In 2003, we introduced our revolutionary Accu-Chrome Generation 2 series of carriages. The second generation offers a completely 'maintenance free' design, with fully self-lubricating parts. This feature alone eliminates the need for costly lubrication systems and their maintenance prone nozzles.
In the Gen 2 series, the dogging also rides upon the same self-lubricating round slides, eliminating the constant adjustment of keepers and the replacement of wear strips. Since these round slides support the knee away from the bunks, the wear plates on the face of the knees and bunks can be easily replaced without removing them.
