Slovakia has become one of the leading automobile manufacturers in Central Europe, mainly due to the presence of three global automakers-Volkswagen (Bratislava), PSA Peugeot Citroën (Trnava) and Kia Motors (Žilina). There is the automotive industry necessary for the development of the Slovak economy as decisive industry. Many businesses work right for the automotive industry. A substantial part of these companies is engaged in plastic products, such as the production of large-size plastic mouldings such as dashboard, car door trim and the like. These mouldings are produced on large-size injection moulding machines, with massive injection moulds. One of the problems of these companies is the handling of these massive forms, which can weigh tens of tons. The article is devoted to the design of the transport device, which is designed for the transport of this type of moulds, which is able to easily and safely secure moulds of various dimensions and transport them from the press to the mould warehouse, or vice versa from the mould warehouse to the injection press. There is the strength calculation of the structure is solved using FEM in conclusion.
