Handling Longer Rolls with the Extended Forward Tipping Clamp Attachment

New to Packline, for handling longer rolls, the extended forward tipping clamp attachment is now available. Longer length rolls of material can now also be lifted and tipped when necessary.

Geared forward tipping allows the operator to re-orientate the roll easily by turning the hand-wheel.

By placing the gearbox on one arm and the rotating pad on the other, this allows the roll to rotate through 360 degrees.

The customer required a solution to pick up long rolls of zinc sheeting in the horizontal from a trolley, tip the rolls forward into the vertical orientation and then place them down onto a pallet ready for shipping.

The straddle legs of the lifter were required in order to move the truck and clamp close enough to the trolley to pick up the roll from the centre of the trolley.

Due to the softness of the roll’s material, it was a concern that the clamping force may crush the roll. As a result, the expanding support block was designed to be manoeuvred down into the core of the roll where the clamp will exert pressure.

Specifications:

Maximum Capacity: 200kg

Load Centre: 740mm from front of column

Attachment Mass: 90kg

Main Materials: Stainless Steel 304, Alumnium 6082/T6, Delrin Polypropylene, Brass, Phosphor Bronze.

Roll Handling Equipment with Clamp Attachment and Retainers

Rolls or reels of film or foil can have a tendency to telescope, or drums can slip or crush when being lifted from the core or the circumference. This handling issue is usually overcome by using a higher rated torque unit to lift the rolls or drums. In some cases a higher rated torque unit is still not sufficient to prevent the rolls or reels from telescoping or the drums slipping whilst being lifted. In these situations an alternative solution is required.

This issue can be resolved by the use of a clamp attachment with adjustable retainers. These adjustable retainers are designed to cover a wide range of roll, reel and drum diameters and lengths, all of which can be lifted by the clamp attachment.

‘Star knobs’ are used to secure the retainers in place vertically by screwing into the sides of the arms. The width of the retainers is then adjusted using plunger pins through holes in the plates.

A fully stainless steel and anodised aluminium solution means that this roll handling solution is suitable for the food processing and pharmaceutical industries, ideal for handling rolls or reels of film or foil; and drums of ingredients.

Specifications:

Safe Working Load (SWL): up to 200kg depending on drum or roll type and size.

Pallet Dispensers from Packline Materials Handling

Pallet Dispensing Systems are fast becoming a key element for improving working conditions in a warehouse environment.

The risk of ergonomic problems with pallet handling are reduced to a minimum and accidents are eliminated.

Pallet lifetimes are increased largely as they are less likely to become damaged when stored in a dispenser.

The area within which pallets are stored is also reduced considerably as the pallets are stacked upwards as opposed to next to each other in smaller stacks of pallets.

Using a dispenser also makes the operation much more hygienic as there is no physical contact between the operator and the pallet.

The Electric Dispenser has the capacity to stack 15 pallets, or a total of 500kg, and it is capable of stacking and de-stacking one pallet at a time or the whole stack of pallets.

The Pneumatic Dispenser has the capacity to stack 15 to 25 pallets, or a total of 500kg to 1000kg, depending on the model. The pneumatic dispenser is capable of stacking and de-stacking one pallet at a time as well as the whole stack.

Guarding is supplied in order to support the pallets higher up once they have been stacked.

Bolts to fasten the dispenser to the floor are included for easy installation and an extended pallet for transportation.

Fork Attachment for Handling Drums, Reels and Cylindrical Loads

The fork lifting attachment is designed to lift reels of foil or film in the horizontal position from a pallet or the floor using the circumference of the load, leaving the core free.

This solution was necessary to lift a reel from a pallet when in the horizontal position, but only using the circumference. The fork attachment pitch can be adjusted in order to fit around the circumference of the reel or drum.

The requirement was to load the reel onto a cantilever mandrel mounted to the processing line, meaning the lifter itself needed access beneath the processing line. Standard lifter legs would be too tall for this solution.

As a result, the lifter was fitted with low profile legs which only stand 65mm from the ground. This enable the lifter to gain close enough access to load the reel into place.

The straddle legs were necessary in order to lift the roll from the pallet and also lower to the floor if required.

Specifications:

Safe Working Load: 250kg

Fork Lengths: 600mm, 800mm or 1150mm

Maximum Diameter Reel: 750mm on a 690 carriage, 1000mm on an 810 carriage.
