Standard Rotators with or without forks:

Why limit your lift truck to just the basic lifting and moving? With a Long Reach Rotator you can also rotate loads for dumping or hand picking. Rotators and Rotating Hold-downs are popular in agricultural, automotive and plastic industries.

Long Reach CR Series Rotators are available in capacities up to 46,000 lbs (21,000 kg) and numerous fork and carriage bars sizes. CR Series rotators feature high-strength ball bearing ring gears and large heat-treated teeth on both the ring and pinion gears. There are several important considerations when specifying a standard rotator. First, the load base (pallet, skid, parts bin, etc) must be closed so that the load doesn't fall off the forks when rotated. In addition, the load's VCG (Vertical Center-of-Gravity) must match the rotator's CR (Centerline of Rotation.) If the VCG is off by a significant amount, the load is off balance and may not be stable enough to rotate safely.

Rotating Hold-Downs (Bin Dumpers):

For handling open bottom loads or bins, the Long Reach Rotating Hold-Down is the ideal solution. Based on the CR Series rotator, these attachments also feature a top hydraulic stabilizer arms. These upper arms clamp down on the edges of the bin to safely secure in it place while dumping. Hold-downs are ideal for handling bins of produce such as apples or potatoes as well as loose parts or scrap. Note how the pads fall on the edges of the field box in the "apples" photo at right.

Rotating hold-downs are also popular in the plastics industry for handling containers of raw material or plastic pellets.
