PalTurn™ load turner: lifting and turning heavy loads

Turning industrial and/or bulky loads can often be difficult and dangerous. These operations often need a lot of space and people. To perform these operations in good conditions, Tractel® offers several solutions using the PalTurn™ load turners.

Load Turners: Reliable Industrial Solutions

Load turners are powerful machines designed to turn and move heavy and bulky loads for production, inspection, or storage purposes.

While you can leverage other lifting devices, such as forklifts or cranes, they are often cumbersome, especially when used to navigate tight spaces.

Industrial load rotators help to:

Handle heavy objects
Handle objects with uneven weight distribution
Rotate objects in tights spaces
Improve safety and efficiency

Choosing the PalTurn™

Available in a wide range of capacity, the PalTurn™ can turn over different types of load, insofar as the capacity is adequate and the available straps have an adapted length.

By using this rotator, the jobs get easier, leading to improved safety and increased productivity.

Easy to Use

Only 1 operator needed instead of several
Control button box: to enable the functioning of the system from a distance
Works with any type of load: provided the length of the straps are adapted

Safe & Reliable

Security: no risk of sliding/slipping or shocks
Quality: no marks or damages to the load
Precise control: more accurate and seamless than manual turning, reduced turning time

Efficient

Maintenance free: no jolting of the lifting system
Efficiency: only one lifting point is necessary
Versatility: one machine can be used for several applications & requires less floor space required

PalTurn™ Options

Because every turning application is unique, Tractel® can design a system in order to optimize the weight, dimensions, power and price for your application.

Generic options:

Hanging System: there are several upper hooking systems for single or double hooks.
Autonomous model (with batteries)
Remote control with or without infra-red
Double speed motor
Frequency inverter
Supplementary Lifting Points: fixed or adjustable
Retractable Lower Hook: this option allows load lifting without setting down the PalTurn™. It makes the installation of PalTurn™ straps easier for some applications.
Load Hold: the choice of the strap’s length and type (endless or opening) and its coating (impregnated or coated) is made according to: the load, the set-up and use conditions, and the sling andle.
Chain Pulley: for high temperature loads (> 80°C)

Options exclusive to the PalTurn™ Tube:

Fixed or adjustable load-centre straps
Light and/or sound warning signal when tilting
Handling Framework: the handling framework, on request, allow a secured moving of the device with a lifting truck. The framework can also be equipped with wheels for a surface moving.

Special applications requiring the use of 2 load turners in a synchronized use: it is possible to use 2 synchronized load turners with the same control in the case of very long loads or when 2 lifting means are used to obtain the adequate lifting capacity.
