Coil Tippers and Turners You May Not Have Seen Before
Coil tippers(also known as coil turners or coil upenders) used for flipping coils are not always the same or functionally identical. There are many types of coil tippers with diverse applications.
1. Mechanical coil tippers may be equipped with conveyors and ball bearing rollers for loading and unloading goods.
Coil tippers with structural set offs which is for the use to support unique shaped loads, such as heavy roll conveyor and light roller conveyor.
2. Pit-type coil tippers have a platform flush with the ground, facilitating loading, unloading, or operator access. Leveling pads are available to ensure the platform is level.
3. Coil tippers with an electrically operated rotating base for loading and unloading via forklifts. The forklift does not need to be repositioned after the goods are tilted.
4. Coil upenders or tippers can be mounted on a weighing system for easy weight display.
5. Coil tipper with a motorized V-saddle, this coil tipper is for moving the coil and snug it up to the pallet prior to the tipping process, it will prevent the steel coil to slid down while it’s tipped or flipped.
6. Coil tipper with a motorized pallet adjuster which is to help with the centering of the steel coils on pallets when tipping and flipping different sized coils with a large/wide range of diameters.
7. Coil tipper with a C-hook slot or a cutout for coil grab, this type of coil upender is for loading with the crane or hoist by using the C-hook or motorized coil grab. The slot is for preventing the collision which could happen between the C-hook and tilter and the cutout is for motorized coil grab interfacing with the upender.
