Light Duty Core Gripping Roll Handlers
Core gripping roll handlers use a long shaft that inserts into the core of your roll and expands to fit the inside circumference.
Light Duty Core Gripping roll handlers are used to lift, move, and reorient rolls that weigh from 0 lbs. to 500 lbs.
These pieces of equipment can be designed to perform a number of functions, the two main functions are;
Horizontal
Roll handlers that are designed mainly to move a roll from one point to another without having to change the horizontal orientation of a roll. The shaft fits inside the core of the roll, can move the core up or down, forward or back, side to side.
Lift, turn, and rotate
Roll handlers that are designed to change the orientation of a roll. This can be to turn, rotate, and lift. The shaft fits inside the core of the roll and expands to grip the inside circumference. That way the roll can be turned from a horizontal to vertical orientation, rotated in tight spaces, or between different machinery, among many other practical uses.
