11. Portable Tilters
Portable tilters are connected to batteries or building utilities and powered up and down via an operator pushbutton or lever controls. These (normally) “high-hinge” tilters are easily pushed or pulled between work stations for the ergonomic positioning of bins, boxes, and baskets to minimize unsafe bending, stooping and reaching while removing items from these containers.

 

12. Ground Level Tilters
Industrial tilter design which allows a very low profile (usually under one inch) tilting platform to be placed on or near the floor in front of the unit to allow ground level loading via pallet jacks. Tilters are used for the ergonomic positioning of loads to prevent unsafe bending, stooping and reaching to access the load during build-up or break-down.

 

13. Hydraulic Tilters – Work Positioning
Hydraulic tilters are commonly used to ergonomically position medium (usually under four tons) unit loads, containerized loads, or palletized loads by tilting them up to 60 degrees towards the operator to prevent the repetitive and harmful reaching, bending and stooping associated with building up, breaking down, or accessing these loads. Common applications are end of conveyor stations, assembly lines, and inspection stations.

 

14. Pneumatic Tilters – Work Positioning
Pneumatic tilters are commonly used to ergonomically position medium (usually under three tons) unit loads, containerized loads, or palletized loads by tilting them up to 45 degrees over one axis to prevent the repetitive and harmful reaching, bending and stooping associated with building up, breaking down, or accessing these loads. Common applications are end of conveyor stations, assembly lines, and inspection stations.

 

15. 90 Degree Upenders
Upenders are industrial tilters designed to travel a full 90 degrees and back again, utilizing double acting hydraulic or mechanical actuators. Upenders are used as an alternative to cranes, hoists, or manual means to safely re-orientate a load by 90 degrees. Common applications are: standing up or laying down coils or other odd-shaped unit loads; palletizing or de-palletizing sheets, coils, or other stacked loads; or simply changing the orientation of a bulky or heavy object in a build-up or tear-down process line.

 

16. Pallet Rotators
Pallet rotators, or pallet inverters as they are sometimes called, are a specialized design of industrial powered turntable which is used to rotate a palletized load 180 degrees. The rotator is loaded with a pallet beneath its load – and a new or replacement pallet or slip sheet is placed on top of the load. Powered clamps capture and hold the entire stack as it is rotated 180 degrees. This equipment is used to quickly replace damaged sacks or containers located at the bottom of a palletized load, or to change styles of pallets.

 

17. Manual Turntables
Manual industrial turntables are used to horizontally rotate a unit or palletized load up to 360 degrees in order to “bring the work to the worker” in applications such as pallet build-up and tear-down, light assembly, and welding or painting processes. Turntables enhance both ergonomic and efficiency benefits by reducing reaching, pushing, pulling, walking, and twisting associated with palletizing and other repetitive operations.

 

18. Powered Turntables
Powered industrial turntables are designed to easily rotate heavy or palletized loads up to 360 degrees to enhance work station ergonomics (reducing twisting, reaching, walking) or to help automate a process that involves rotating a load to a specified and repeatable position. Whether a standard palletized cube of 48” x 48”, or a wheeled vehicle measuring 96” x 180”, powered turntables are an effective means of re-directing the flow of work in a minimum amount of space.

 

19. Manual Stackers
Low capacity (usually under two tons), mobile vertical lifts which are manually pushed or pulled between work stations and typically used to transfer and position (up to 12 feet high) palletized loads. Manually-propelled stackers can be connected to batteries or building utilities and powered up and down via an operator pushbutton, foot or lever controls. Common applications are pallet build-up or break-down stations, end of conveyor stations, and assembly lines to prevent the unsafe bending and lifting of excessive loads.

 

20. Powered Stackers
Low capacity (usually under two tons), mobile vertical lifts which are power driven between work stations and used to transfer and position (up to 12 feet high) heavy unit and palletized loads. Powered stackers can be connected to AC, DC or shop air power supplies and powered up and down via an operator pushbutton or lever controls. Common applications are pallet build-up or break-down stations, end of conveyor stations, and assembly lines to prevent the unsafe bending and lifting of excessive loads.
