Turning tables October 1st 2008 B&B Attachments has
teamed up with Kaup GmbH
to launch the Pallet Turning
Table, an economical way for
wholesalers and distribution
centres to commission pallets.
Difficulties can arise when
products at the front of
pallets have been removed
leaving those at the back
hard to reach. Kaup's Pallet
Turning Table assist by
reducing the manual labour
needed to turn pallets
around.
The half-empty pallet is
picked up and removed from
the shelf by a forklift and
placed on the turning table.
After it has been positioned
and the forks extracted, the
table automatically turns
180°, making it easier to
pick product. Capable of
turning pallets of 1000kg in
3 to 4sec, the table is
powered by a 24V battery.

"Health and safety is a major
issue for companies today
and turning pallets of heavy
goods around can lead to
physical injury. Kaup and
B&B Attachments have
identified this problem and
resolved it with the launch
of the Pallet Turning Table." More articles from B & B Attachments: |
