Utility trailers come in a huge variety, from small trailers for hauling tools and equipment to car and boat trailers and everything in between. Regardless of the type of trailer, workers who construct these trailers must contend with the often cumbersome shape, size, and weight of the trailer during the manufacturing process, which can be dangerous.
Industrial load turning devices are essential tools for every trailer manufacturing facility since they make the process faster and safer.
Trailers can be massive. For example, the average size of a flatbed trailer for a semi-tractor is 8.5' wide and up to 53' long, and the largest weighs up to 10,000 lbs. Car and boat trailers are generally 20' long and 8' wide and weigh several hundred pounds. Lifting and moving these huge objects can put workers at risk of being injured if they fall, slip, or swing. Utilizing an industrial load turner in your trailer manufacturing facility will hold even the largest trailer components in place securely so workers can safely perform their tasks and complete the job.
In truth, every area of your trailer manufacturing facility can benefit from the use of a heavy load turning machine. Its strength and flexibility make it an indispensable tool that can be readily adapted for any job. A few of the ways you may consider a lifting device include:
Trailer chassis and beds require multiple parts to be formed and connected in a specific way. This can't be accomplished on a flat surface or with manpower alone. By strapping the components into an industrial load turning device, workers have free access to all the areas they need to work on. The end result is a more efficient, productive, and safe workplace.
It's vital that your trailers meet federal regulations for safety, so inspections and testing are essential. This process is much more efficient in terms of time and money when a lifting device is employed. Inspections can be performed faster since industrial lifting devices can rotate to any angle in seconds. That means your labor costs will decrease yet production will increase.
Once the manufacturing, testing, and inspections are complete, assembly of the finished trailer can begin. Again, an industrial load turning device will make this a fast, easy, and safe process. When properly strapped into the device with the appropriate straps, components are held steady so they can be put into place and connected. Moving the finished trailer off of the assembly line is also a task a rotating lift can handle.
As the owner or manager of a trailer manufacturing company, you're always concerned about finances, and you don't invest unless there's a good ROI. An industrial load turning device is one of those investments that actually pay dividends time and again. Just a few of the ways your organization will benefit include:
The quicker you can produce your trailers, the higher your profit margins will be. But you can't sacrifice safety for speed. An industrial load turning device solves this problem beautifully. It can lift, turn, and rotate even the largest trailers and components via a remote control operated by a single person, thus increasing your productivity without hiring more workers.
If a component of your trailer is damaged due to being dropped, banged against another object, or for any other reason, it affects your bottom line. Lifting devices can be outfitted with special straps that won't damage the object's surface while holding tightly to it. There is a reduced risk of damage to parts or finished products to help increase profits.
Do you want to grow and expand your business so you can take on bigger contracts or larger trailers? Maybe you want to move up from boat trailers to flatbeds or cargo trailers. If so, then you’ll want to consider adding a heavy load turning machine to your shop floor. You'll be able to lift bigger and bulkier components than ever before so you can land those lucrative clients your company needs to grow.
Keeping employees safe as they build and inspect your trailers should be a top priority. By utilizing a reliable load turner, your employees won’t be at risk of the component they’re working on slipping or falling during the process. And using a heavy load turning machine also means that a worker can always comfortably work on the trailer, since it can be rotated to nearly any position. Workers will no longer have to crane or squeeze themselves into tight, unsafe positions to do their jobs.
Regardless of what type of trailer you manufacture, it can be challenging to safely lift and move some components and assembled products. A load turner will make the job much easier, faster, and safer for everyone on the shop floor.
