Handling Issues
Farmers Pride was slated to open a large new facility in Fredericksburg, PA and wanted to incorporate a portable Roll handling machine for lifting and turning their heavy film rolls without causing damage to the film material as well as ensure a safe working environment for their workers and substantially reduce or eliminate work-injury liability.
The Solution
The revolutionary Speedy PT10X Lift and Turn Roll Handlers with 1500-lbs. capacity is the most precise and powerful battery powered roll handling machine on the market today. The Speedy is power driven with powered lift and turn functions. It is designed to lift and turn rolls by the core for palletizing, transporting and loading. Holding the rolls inside the core without contacting the valuable material reduces the risk of both material damage and operator injury, saving your company money and valuable resources.
