Electric Tip Lifts provide a safe, user-friendly way to lift and rotate heavy rolls of material off the ground. They’re equipped with ergonomically designed, handle-mounted controls that enable easy fingertip operation.
To use our electric roll handling equipment, the operator inserts the spring-loaded probe of the Tip Lift into the core of the roll up to the flange. The probe contains four teeth on its end to hold the roll safely and firmly in place during operation. The operator can then use the handle-mounted controls to raise, lower and tilt the roll as needed. To disengage the probe, the operator uses the controls to lower the roll to the ground and presses the tooth release button.
Electric Roll Handling Equipment Capabilities
Tilt-Lock offers three types of Tip Lifts to meet your roll handling needs. In addition to our Electric Tip Lifts, you’ll find the Pneumatic Tip Lifts that utilizes air pressure to rotate the roll. We also offer Manual Tip Lifts that offer a more economical alternative but do not lock the roll in the horizontal position after raising.
You’ll find several Electric Tip Lift models available from Tilt Lock. Our Ld1, LS1, L1, L2 and L3 units can accommodate roll widths ranging from 3 to 70 inches. Depending on the model and roll width, the maximum weight capacity ranges up to 2,000 lbs.
The dimensions for each electric tip lift model are as follows:
- LD1: 27″ horizontal and 40″ vertical
- LS1: 31″ horizontal and 44″ vertical
- L1: 43″ horizontal and 56.5″ vertical
- L2: 52″ horizontal and 65.5″ vertical
- L3: 53″ horizontal and 65.5″ vertical
Electric Tip Lifts are powered by a 115V AC, single phase, 60 Hz actuator that provides a turning speed of six seconds for the L1, 15 seconds for the L2 and 18 seconds for the L3.
