The new equipment has been designed in response to a customer requirement to handle rolls laid vertically on pallets with limited access


Packline Materials Handling and Ultrasource have debuted a new roll lifting equipment with raised frame and single spindle attachment. The new equipment was designed in response to a customer requirement in the food processing industry to handle rolls laid vertically on pallets with limited access, but also has uses in pharmaceutical industries and other hygienic applications.

Constructed from stainless steel, this roll handling solution is suitable for cleanroom high care environments.

The pallets are stored against a wall and can be accessed from one side only. In order to gain easy access to the rolls on the pallet, the lifter’s frame has been raised to travel over the top of the pallet. This new bespoke frame design allows the lifting equipment to be maneuvered over and across the whole length of the pallet to easily access the rolls at the far end of the pallets.

In addition, wider legs on the frame allow the lifter legs to straddle the pallet for easy access to the rolls at the back of the pallet.

The Single Spindle Attachments have been designed to provide a simple means of lifting and handling rolls by their diameter. The rolls are lifted and lowered via a powered lift mechanism, eliminating any operator manual handling.

The attachment has been designed to provide strength, durability as well as improved wear resistance and enhanced ease of use which provides a simple and safe action.

This handling solution is suitable for the food and pharmaceutical industries and other hygienic applications.

Furthermore, it is backed up by a full bespoke design service so ensuring that the right solution can be made to suit most reels.

All Packline attachments are fully interchangeable and can be easily fitted or removed from any model of Compac lifting machine that is fitted with the quick release system.

The lift capacity is 595lbs / 270kg, however, larger capacities and to suit greater roll widths, are available on request.

The attachment has been designed to provide strength, durability as well as improved wear resistance and enhanced ease of use which provides a simple and safe action.

This stainless-steel roll lifting machine is suitable for use in the following industries:

  • Food
  • Drinks and Beverages
  • Dairy
  • Pharmaceutical
  • Medical
  • Chemical
  • FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods)
  • Printing and Labelling

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

The small footprint makes this roll handling equipment highly maneuverable and a natural choice for today’s narrow production lines and demanding lifting requirements.
