Vacuum Lifting for Sacks with the Clamp Attachment


The sack lifting clamp attachment from Packline, uses two rollers to handle the sacks for lifting and moving as required.

The roller clamps firmly grip the sacks for materials handling purposes.

The lifting clamp is pneumatically operated and has a safe working load of 75kg.

The sack clamping attachment is hung from hooks, and can be easily demounted for use elsewhere.

This lifting attachment can be supplied in a number of formats, for example, standard hoist, solo crane or multi lift. These in turn can be mounted onto Packline’s swing jib or the two-joint swing arm lifter, depending on lifting requirements.

This lifting solution is a great option for any business wishing to improve or eliminate any lifting and handling issues they are experiencing, ideal for the cargo, postal, mail, transport and logistics industries.

 A wide range of suction heads and accessories are available to suit a wide range of applications. The vacuum lifting heads can repeatedly lift and accurately place a wide variety of loads including paper and plastic sacks, boxes, crates and cartons, reels and drums. An electrically driven vacuum pump provides both lifting and suction functions. Stainless Steel Suction Lifters can be specified for use in the pharmaceutical and food industries. With minimal dust traps the unit is very easy to clean, ideal for the Food, Pharmaceutical, Dairy and Brewery Industries. With a remotely installed power pack the machines can also be installed in hazardous areas. Bespoke units can also be developed to suit the needs of all our customers.

Packline’s vacuum lifting equipment, hoists, winch lifters and overhead crane lifting systems can be used in a number of different industries and environments.  For more information visit www.packline.co.uk/vacuum_lifting_equipment.

Drum Handling Clamp with Tapered Pad Attachment


Packline’s drum handling clamp with the tapered pads has been designed for lifting and handling drums with tapered sides, which are more difficult to handle due to their non-symmetrical dimensions. The tapered pads allow a secure grip aligned to the shape of the drum which, in turn, allows easy lifting and stable rotating of the drums.

The fully motorized system facilitates lifting and rotating of the drum to a hopper in order to empty the drum contents, via a remote control unit used by the operator at a safe distance from the lifter.

Both the rotation and clamping mechanisms are fully motorized.

The clamp attachment has a torque unit fitted to ensure that the drums are not ‘over-clamped’ causing damage to the drum.

The rotation mechanism has ‘stops’ in place to prevent over-rotation of the drum.

Due to the wide range and variety of drums that are available, this tapered pad drum clamp attachment is a bespoke design which can be tailored and adapted to suit the specific needs of the customer.

Specifications:

Safe Working Load = 100kg

Attachment Mass = 76kg approx.

Maximum Drum Diameter = 450mm

Minimum Drum Diameter = 200mm
