Manual Tip Lifts
Overview
Manual tip lifts are an economical alternative to pneumatic or electric lifting equipment. They are primarily used for tilting rolls from a horizontal to vertical position and for vertical roll transportation. Unlike pneumatic or electric lifting equipment, manual tip lifts do not require air pressure or electricity to operate. Tilt-Lock offers manual tip lifts that can fit a variety of core sizes and have a maximum load capacity of up to 2,000 pounds.
How does it work
Manual tip lifts are remarkably simple to use: The operator begins by inserting the lifter’s cylindrical metal probe into the core of the roll. The probe is equipped with mechanical teeth that grasp the roll and hold it firmly in place.
Next, the operator uses the button on the tip lift’s handle to tilt the roll on the hoist, which causes it to rotate 90 degrees. As a safety precaution, the tooth release will not disengage from the probe while the roll is in the air.
To remove the lifter, the operator lowers the roll to the ground, squeezes the handles together and lifts up on the hoist. The weight of the roll must be supported by a stationary surface in order to disengage the roll. The manual tip lift does not lock in the horizontal position, which differentiates it from our other roll handling equipment offerings.
