Upenders And Downenders Hydraulic Tilter

Capitalizing on our rich industrial experience, we are able to provide our customers a wide collection of Upenders and Downenders Hydraulic Tilter. Unmatched in quality, our provided array is designed in confirmation with the industry laid norms and standards.

PREFER designs hydraulic upenders with fully integrated, heavy-duty hydraulics for precise positioning. Our hydraulic upenders can handle heavy jobs smoothly and efficiently. They employ one or more double-acting cylinders to rotate the platforms. One platform may be significantly smaller than the other, making these upenders ideal for loads that are not symmetrical, such as long, cylindrical shapes.

The load platform of a hydraulic upender can accommodate a variety of equipment for secondary handling functions including:

• Roll discharge tilt platforms
• Shifting saddles
• Pallet-centering systems
• Load and unload conveyors
• Rugged, heavy-duty welded steel plate, channel and tube construction go into each PREFER hydraulic upender.
• High-quality double-acting tilt cylinders rotate the platforms. They are powered by an industrial duty motor, hydraulic pump, valve system and oil reservoir, all embedded within the unit or packaged for external mounting. Loads rotate around heavy-duty pivot bearings, complete with lubrication points.
• Electrical limit switches halt rotation at each end of the tipping cycle.

Mechanical Upenders:

The PREFER mechanical upender provides an easy and efficient way to upend metal coils, molds, dies and other heavy and bulky loads. Mechanical upenders, sometimes called coil positioners, rotate steel coils and other loads though 90 degrees in either direction. They are used in a variety of production and maintenance applications. Mechanical upenders have a round cradle frame that is placed on four machined rollers. A gear motor driving a single or dual chain sprocket provides the ability to rotate. Mechanical upenders are available in standard configurations or may be custom engineered for your particular application.

Standard Design Features:

• Frame is made of heavy, welded steel construction. Four or more precision machined steel rollers with sealed bearings support load.
• Brake motor and gear reducer drive a sprocket and roller chain giving a smooth rotating cycle.
• Wired to operate on your available power supply.
• Complete electric controls, disconnect switch, and push button station mounted on unit.
• Limit switches automatically control rotation.
• Standard designs range up to 35 ton capacity.
• Flat platforms or V-saddles can be included to support coils or cylindrical loads in a horizontal orientation.
• Special platform sizes and shapes are available.
• Pallet centering is available.

Optional Features Available:

• Designs to accommodate special electrical requirements.
• Custom table sizes and configurations.
• Fork pockets for transporting unit by lift truck.
• Protective covering for table and/or V-saddle.
• Slotted table for coil handling equipment access.
• Powered, adjustable V-saddle and pallet positioners.
