The aim of this study was to interpret the structure and dynamics of a transfer shuttle system as a material supply device for small machine tools. The following conclusions were obtained by performing a structural interpretation of the material supply equipment with respect to workload and the dynamical interpretation of a flexible multibody carriage shuttle. When a 1,000-kg workload was applied to a fork lift, the safety factor was approximately 1.86. To conservatively assess the integrity of the structure, a 1,000-kg workload would be proper. In the case of a deflection of the fork system, the width increased with increasing time. The greatest deflection occurred at 5.5 s, which was the largest increase in the time point of the fork system.
