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.
