Film, paper and label rolls of a few dozen kilos are usually stored upright on pallets, but the core has to be horizontal to go onto the machine. Lifting an 80 kg roll by hand and turning it is heavy work and easily dents the roll edges. For this project FullSharp delivered a stainless Smart Lifter smart electric lifter, FS-Flash(lite) series, fitted with an 80 kg manual roll tool.

Lifting is electric and the lifter is pushed by hand, suiting warehouses and cleanrooms. The tool needs no power or compressed air of its own: the operator turns the roll with a lever, so it stays compact, reliable and easy to clean.

How the manual roll tool works

The core holder is a shaft with rubber pads that grips the roll from inside the core without scratching it. The shaft sits on a rotating head: pulling the ball-knob lever turns it from vertical to horizontal and back.

An angle locking pin holds the shaft in place at each position while lifting and travelling. The handle frame alongside helps steady and guide the roll onto the machine shaft. Rolls stored upright on a pallet can be picked up, then turned flat and slid straight onto the machine.

Picking and loading a roll

  1. Push the lifter to the pallet and lower the vertical core shaft into the roll centre.
  2. Insert the shaft into the core and lift the roll off the pallet with the electric button.
  3. Pull the pin, turn the roll horizontal with the lever and refit the locking pin.
  4. Push the lifter to the machine, align the core with the machine shaft and slide the roll on.

Benefits

No lifting or turning by hand

The 80 kg roll is lifted and turned by the lifter, one person can do it, protecting backs.

Core and edges protected

The rubber-padded shaft holds the roll from the core, so edges never touch the floor or hands.

Compact and easy to clean

Stainless body and a manual tool with no power or air suit cleanrooms and frequent wipe-downs.

Applications

  • Plastic film, packaging film and label rolls for printing, slitting and packing machines
  • Small paper and fabric rolls in printing and textile plants
  • Electronics and pharmaceutical cleanrooms: tape and protective film rolls
  • Material stores: moving rolls from pallets to racks or machines

Frequently asked questions

How does the manual roll tool differ from a powered roll rotator?

The manual tool turns the roll with a lever and locking pin, needs no power or air, costs less and is very durable. A powered rotator uses a motor and suits heavier rolls or stations that turn rolls constantly.

What core sizes does the shaft fit?

The shaft is made to the customer’s core diameter, usually 3 or 6 inch. Send us the core diameter, outer diameter and roll weight and FullSharp will size the shaft.

Can the lifter take other tools?

Yes. FullSharp smart electric lifters take lifting tables, forks, clamps, roll cradles and custom tools on the same mast.
