Roll Handling Equipment with Counterbalance

The stainless steel roll handling equipment from Packline Materials Handling is designed for loading and unloading rolls of film or packaging material where a longer distance reach is required. This is achieved by means of a counterbalance unit.

Packline’s latest design compliments the existing range of reel or roll handling equipment for the food, drinks and medical processing industries.

The roll handling equipment with counterbalance weight is suitable if the lifting attachment reach extends beyond the legs of the lifter, or if there is restricted leg access when lifting the rolls of material.

The counterbalance weight is added to the sides of the roll handling equipment.

The footprint of the lifting equipment is not increased with the addition of the counterbalance unit.

The standard lifter base width remains at the size of 500mm.

This roll handling application with counterbalance ensures that the most stable lifting solution is achieved.

The counterbalance weight is added to the side of the lifter and therefore in most cases the lifter’s footprint is not increased over the 500mm wide standard base.     

Maximum lifting capacities up to 300kg are available.

The new reel or roll handling equipment is suitable for:

·         Reaching beyond the legs of the roll lifting equipment.

·         Situations where there is restricted lifter leg access when lifting and handling rolls or drums.

Bespoke attachments can be designed to provide a lifting and handling solution for most types of roll, reel, drum or barrel.

Stackable Mobile Reel Dolly from Packline Materials Handling

Reel Handling with the Clamping Vertical Spindle Attachment

This new reel handling concept from Packline Materials Handling overcomes the difficulty of handling telescoping rolls or reels. 

Telescoping reels can occur if the material is not wound tightly enough around the core of the reel. This can make the reels difficult to lift and handle via the core.  This new and innovative way of clamping the external diameter of the reel of material, whilst still handling via the core, eliminates this problem. 

The reel is rotated using a linear actuator whilst the clamping and finger expansion is carried out via hand wheels. 

This is a quick and simple way to re-orientate difficult to handle reels of film or packaging material.

 

The clamping vertical spindle is built to order to suit specific requirements, handling a wide range of reel diameters and widths.

·         Maximum Safe working load = 130kg

·         Reel Diameters = 450-750mm

·         Electrically operated linear actuator to rotate reel 12 or 24v
