Reel manipulation
Specialist in the supply of materials handling equipment and mobile work lifters, Lift Safe, has lessened the load in the Coventry manufacturing plant of Mission Foods, a leading manufacturer of tortilla wraps and flat breads.
Mission needed a heavy-duty lifter to pick vertical reels weighing up to 60kg each off pallets in the warehouse, turn them, lift them and load them horizontally on to trolleys to be taken to the food production area where the labels are affixed.
Lift Safe supplied five of its Lift & Drive Expando Turn Reel Manipulator lifters to handle the large, heavy reels. Using this manipulator, the reels can effortlessly, smoothly and quickly be turned through 90 degrees to enable safe, easy loading.
