Handling Rolls of Film or Foil with the Single or Double Reel Dolly

The small reel dolly from Packline Materials Handling is a bespoke design solution designed to easily manoeuvre horizontal reels on the roll or reel dolly.

Height varies between each design to suit the required load height or working height.

The reel’s core is left free for loading onto the mandrel of the production line.

Reel size capacities can vary depending on requirements, up to a capacity of 100kg for the single dolly and 200kg for the double dolly with this design.

This reel dolly is easy to manoeuvre with four or six swivel castors, or two swivel and two fixed castors.

The reel dolly has removable handlebars which can also be rotated into different orientations for operator comfort.

The reel dolly is constructed from stainless steel 304 (316 available on request), and therefore is suitable for food production environments and can also be washed down when necessary.

Packline Materials Handling is able to provide bespoke lifting and handling solutions for materials handling issues involving rolls, reels and drums; by creating new concepts or tailoring existing lifting and handling equipment to meet specific requirements.

Drum Handling Attachment with Double Quick Release

This drum handling attachment, from Packline Materials Handling, was designed to handle drums by their rim. This lifting solution is suitable for lifting drums that are difficult to handle due their thin wall.

Traditional drum clamp attachments will crush the wall of the drum, creating problems in lifting the drum safely.

This bespoke solution involved handling drums of tomato puree; therefore the thin walled drum contained a dense and heavy substance.

The quick release drum lifting attachment with double grip, in stainless steel, safely and securely holds the drum allowing it to be transported from the pallet to the dispensing area. Constructed from stainless steel, this complete lifting solution is suitable for food and pharmaceutical production areas.

The V-shaped legs allow easy access to the corner of a pallet enabling the operator to easily manoeuvre the lifter to access and handle the drums.

The quick release grippers mean that the operator can stand behind the truck to attach, lift, lower and detach the drums. The lifter can be designed and manufactured with either manual or electric lift depending on the specific requirements.

Specifications:

Safe Working Load: 400kg

Drum construction: thin walled drums

Drum shape: slightly tapered sides

Lifting Ring Attachment for Handling Drums or Barrels of Ingredients

The lifting ring-shaped attachment is designed to lift large vats or drums of ingredients into and out from a production line.

These large drums or vats were shaped similarly to an inverted cone. Due to the unusual size and shape of the vats a clamping mechanism for the lifting attachment would not be suitable for this specific lifting requirement.

A ring-shaped attachment with a ‘cut-out’ section with the correct angle on the circumference of the attachment was designed in order to lift the drum from beneath and grip the drum half way along the drum’s length.

A strip of natural rubber has also been added to ensure that the vat of ingredients is not damaged during the lifting or lowering manoeuvres. 

Specifications:

Safe Working Load: 60kg

Diameter of attachment at contact with Vat: 500mm

Stainless Steel Fully Motorised Lifter for Handling and Forward Tipping of Drums

The fully motorised drum clamp attachment is suitable for lifting and forward tipping the drum being handled. Constructed mainly from stainless steel, this drum handling equipment is suitable for clean room environments, food processing and medical processing industries.

Both motorised clamping and motorised forward tipping can be operated via a pendant control, which is mounted to the handlebars of the drum handling equipment.

This stainless steel drum handling solution enables the operator to lift and handle a drum containing medical ingredients, raise the drum to a level above head height and then tip forward to empty the contents out onto a hopper.

Most drum sizes can be catered for, with bespoke size attachments designed and manufactured to suit the drum being handled.

This drum lifter has low profile front rocking pallet wheels, and wider legs, to suit bespoke pallet requirements.

Longer arms on the drum clamp attachment ensures that the operator only needs to access the pallet from one side to lift all drums from the pallet; rather than requiring the operator to manoeuvre the lifter around the pallet. This makes the solution easier to use in small spaces where movement of pallets is restricted.

Specifications:

Maximum Capacity: 100kg

Load Centre: 871mm from front of column

Attachment Mass: 105kg

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

Forward Tipping Clamp Attachment for Handling Drums or Rolls of Film and Foil

The forward tipping clamp attachment for handling drums is used for gripping loads by the diameter or circumference such as drums and barrels, and rotating via the hand wheel or handles to any forward position through 360 degrees.

The attachment is fitted with rubber rollers or pads to provide maximum grip, and also to assist alignment.

The built-in slip torque mechanism ensures correct gripping pressure is applied preventing over-tightening and damage to load.

Load capacity up to 300kg (depending on lifter capacity).

Constructed mainly from anodized aluminium, stainless steel, brass and acetal.

Ideally suited for clean room environments, the stainless steel ‘Compac’ range of drum handling equipment from Packline, is suitable for use in the following industries:-

·         Food

·         Drinks and Beverages

·         Dairy

·         Pharmaceutical

·         Medical Processing

The purpose-designed compact framework, positioning of handlebars and addition of an optional remote control device provide improved manoeuvrability and ease of use for the operator.

The incredibly small footprint makes the ‘Compac’ drum handling equipment highly manoeuvrable and a natural choice for today’s narrow production lines and demanding lifting requirements.
