Innovative Reel and Roll Handling for Hygienic Environments
The Overhead Cradle Attachment from Packline Materials Handling has been expertly designed to provide a safe and efficient solution for lifting, rotating, and positioning reels or rolls directly from a pallet to the processing line. Originally developed for the food and beverage industry, this versatile attachment is ideal for handling a range of horizontally stored rolls in cleanroom and hygienic environments.
Efficient Horizontal Roll Lifting and Transfer
The suspended cradle design enables rolls to be lifted horizontally via the roll’s core using a mandrel, allowing easy transfer from pallet to production equipment. The system is engineered for precision positioning—lifting rolls into the top feed position on the processing line quickly, safely, and without manual strain.
Fully Powered Rotation for Safe and Easy Operation
The Overhead Cradle Attachment features fully powered turning, allowing rolls to be rotated through 90 degrees with minimal operator input. This eliminates manual handling, improving both safety and productivity. Once rotated to the correct angle, rolls can be accurately aligned and loaded directly onto the processing machinery.
Adjustable for Multiple Roll Diameters
Designed for maximum flexibility, the cradle arms can be manually adjusted to accommodate a range of roll diameters. The sliding suspended arms make it easy to handle rolls of various sizes, offering one adaptable lifting solution for multiple production requirements.
Electric Powered Lift and Lower Function
This model includes an electric-powered lift and lower mechanism, enabling operators to safely raise rolls from pallet height and lower them into position on the processing line. The electric control ensures smooth, consistent movement and precise handling.
Robust, Hygienic, and Easy to Use
Constructed for strength, durability, and wear resistance, the Overhead Cradle Attachment is designed for simple and safe operation in demanding production settings. Its stainless-steel construction ensures compliance with food-grade and hygienic standards, making it ideal for the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries.
Custom Design and Full Interchangeability
As with all Packline equipment, this attachment is available with a full bespoke design service, ensuring every solution is tailored to your specific operational requirements.
All Packline attachments are fully interchangeable and can be quickly fitted or removed from any Compac Lifting Machine using the unique quick-release system, allowing one lifter to handle multiple applications efficiently and economically.
