Stainless Steel ‘Logi-Tilt’ Lifting Equipment


The stainless steel ‘Logi-Tilt’ LT-TE Barrel and Drum lifting equipment has been developed for clean room environments where hygiene is of extreme importance; for example, in the food and pharmaceutical industries.

This design focusses on the safety and ergonomic working conditions of the operator. The ‘Logi-Tilt’ Lifter can tilt boxes and crates, as well as barrels and drums, up to 90 degrees, meaning that it is not necessary for the operator to bend down or stretch up to reach components in the crate or box being handled. This applies to both standing and sitting work positions.

The ergonomically correct handle of the ‘Logi-Tilt’ lifting equipment ensures that the operator has a comfortable relaxed hold.

Rigorous testing of the lifter ensures a high quality and safe design and manufacture.

Reel Handling Equipment with Extended Vertical Spindle Attachment for Handling Longer Reels


New to Packline is the reel lifting equipment with extendedvertical spindle attachments, available in widths of 3” or 6”.

The extended 3” or 6” spindle attachments allow much longer reels to be lifted.

The rollers on the attachment mean that the transition from the spindle attachment to the processing line mandrel is much easier and smoother.

The additional length of the attachment ensures that the load centre of the reel is still on the length of the spindle.

Geared rotation allows the operator to re-orientate the reel just by turning the hand-wheel.

This lifting solution enabled the operator to pick up large reels, rotate them and then raise them above head height in order to load the reels onto a processing line.

Most reel sizes can be catered for and therefore each application is designed and manufactured individually to ensure the required spindle attachment is supplied.

Specifications 3” spindle:

Maximum capacity: 250kg / 551.16lbs (with appropriate leg length).

Load centre: 722mm / 28.43 inches from front of column.

Attachment mass: 43kg / 94.80lbs.

Main materials: stainless steel 304, aluminium 6082/T6, Delrin Polypropylene, brass, phosphor bronze.

Specifications 6” spindle:

Maximum capacity: 175kg / 385.81lbs (with appropriate leg length).

Load centre: 783mm / 30.83 inches from front of column.

Attachment mass: 43.5kg / 95.9lbs.

Main materials: stainless steel 304, aluminium 6082/T6, Delrin Polypropylene, brass, phosphor bronze.

Drum and Barrel Handling Equipment in Stainless Steel with Upright Front Castors


Packline’s Drum and Barrel Handling Equipment is a proven and tested solution for most manual handling applications within industries such as food and pharmaceutical.

The standard lifter’s front castors are mounted facing forwards and allow for easy movement. The rocking pallet wheel assembly, when mounted, allows for easy access to the pallet.

The rear castors are braked and supplied with a foot guard to protect the operator.

This barrel handling equipment was needed in an environment where once loaded, the lifter needed to be pushed up a slight incline and onto a flat surface. For this reason, the front castors are mounted facing downwards and extensions added to the rear castors.

This enabled the barrel or drum lifter to ‘rock over’ the incline and onto the flat surface.

The barrel handler’s column height was decreased to 1700mm to ensure that the lifter was suitable for a specific confined space, enabling the lifter to pass through a low height doorway.

It was important that the lifting attachment would not allow the load to swing forwards and backwards in any way. This would cause the lifter to become unstable, hence the clamp attachment was designed as a fixed solution.

Specifications:

Safe working load (SWL): 150kg or 300kg.

Charging Supply: 240v, 110v or 110v USA.

Leg Length: 350mm up to 1000mm.

Leg Width: 500mm up to 1000mm.

Column Height: 1100mm up to 2500mm.

Operation: push buttons or remote control.
