Roll Handling with Low Profile Overhead Clamp Attachment

Ideally suited for clean room environments, the stainless steel ‘Compac’ range of roll and drum handling equipment from Packline Materials Handling is ideal for the food, drinks and pharmaceutical industries.
The overhead low profile clamp attachment is designed for loading rolls of cylindrical material into, and out of, containers, boxes or shrink wrapping machine mandrels.

This roll handling solution can also be used for lifting rolls from a pallet to be lowered onto a vertical mandrel on a shrink wrapping machine. 

The clamp attachment has very low profile pads which only engage onto first 100mm of the roll, as the mandrel configuration on the shrink wrapping machine has very limited space around it.  Due to the low profile pads, this is also an ideal solution for lifting and lowering reels or other cylindrical items into boxes or containers.

The small size of the clamp attachment makes this solution suitable for use in restricted and confined spaces.

The rolls of material are handled only from the top, allowing them to be lowered securely and with no interference from the attachment clamp pads themselves.

Rolls of material up to a capacity of 100kg can be handled depending on requirements. Bespoke handling solutions are available tailored to customer needs. The length and width of the clamp attachment pads can be varied to provide the most suitable solution.
