VRL-1000-TA
Schlumpf’s VRL-1000-TA (tip assist) for hoist & crane service is an extremely fast, easy and cost-effective solution for lifting and turning rolls with weights to 1000 lbs (454 kg) while reducing the risk of costly operator injuries and fatigue.
The VRL-1000-TA has been designed to operate as a hoist based mechanical lifting and positioning device and can be used to assist when tipping rolls up (Horizontal to Vertical) or laying them down (Vertical to Horizontal). The VRL-1000-TA’s unique pivoting hoist arm design gives the operator the ability to tilt a vertical roll onto it’s side in a controlled manner simply by using the hoists lifting function. This feature eliminates the necessity of the operator to manually push the roll to tip it over and prevents unneeded strain. By grabbing the rolls by the core without contacting the rolled material, the VRL-1000-TA’s design reduces the risk of material damage and operator injury associated with “manhandling” heavy rolls.
The VRL-1000-TA is most commonly used with the Toggle Handle Universal Mandrel in roll lifting and positioning applications. The fail-safe gripper design of the mandrels hold securely at all times and can only be released by the operator. Once the load is supported on a flat surface, simply push the toggle handle down to retract the grippers. A large, ergonomic handle is provided for positioning the hoisted roll or the empty lifter.
