Easier loading of trailers
Designed to automate the loading of trailers, a gravity conveyor features a cantilevered base and powered three-stage telescoping boom that retracts to save floor space. The gravity conveyor's wide design provides increased accumulation capacity by freeing upstream conveyors and reducing sorter recirculation. PVC gravity rollers quietly transport and accumulate products in the extended operating mode. Sloped side channels hold products onto the transport rollers.

Hoist is versatile
A new model of web-strap winch hoists can be quickly converted from single- to double-rigged capacity without using additional parts. The hoist has a small frame and weighs 1½ tons. A web guide keeps the strap from twisting while the wind-up wheel facilitates winding the strap back into place. The breakable stress link also snaps when the hoist is overloaded, warning the operator to reduce the load.
