Ergonomic Boom Lifts

. When the rolls are stored horizontally, and are to be placed onto an accessible, cantilevered mandrel, a boom is used to “spear” the roll, lift as required, and align with the machine mandrel. If the roll is fairly light, and easily transferred a smooth boom is used. If the roll is too heavy to be transferred manually, inset rollers ease the pushing task. Accessories include a spring loaded front stop that traps the roll on the lift’s mandrel until physical contact is made with the machine’s mandrel, and a docking arrangement with a male fitting attached to the machine’s mandrel and a female fitting attached to the lift’s mandrel. With the latter accessory, the roll is aligned slightly higher than the machine’s mandrel and then lowered until the two fittings are engaged. When the two fittings are engaged, there is effectively formed a continuous shaft abetting the transfer of the roll from the lift to the machine. Docking fittings are also available in sets and may be accordingly ordered.. For more information please contact us.
