SPECIAL DEVICES
In some companies, the transportation of heavy loads creates some special challenges. The dimensions of the transported load may deviate from the standard, or other requirements may make it necessary to use special transport equipment. In these cases, WIMO® offers the right solution with its individually produced lifting technology.
Scrap bucket emptying device for forklift trucks
- Hydraulic supply directly via the forklift truck
- Convenient control directly via the forklift truck
- Safe emptying in hard-to-reach places
WIMO unwinding station – safe turning and positioning of coils
The WIMO unwinding station with electromechanical roller drive enables controlled turning of coils around their horizontal axis. This allows the end of the strip to be positioned precisely for testing or further processing. The station is ideal for production areas where flexibility and safety are required.
Technical features:
- Electromechanical roller drive for smooth turning of the coil
- Recesses in the rollers for strap strapping when loaded
- Guide rails for safe threading and unthreading of the strapping band
- Integrated forklift pockets for easy transport
- Robust construction for continuous industrial use
Your advantages:
- Precise positioning of the end of the strip, e.g. for sampling
- Flexible use thanks to mobile design
- Safe handling
- Reduction of set-up times in further processing
- Increased work safety thanks to controlled drive
Typical areas of application:
- Coil handling in production lines
- Testing equipment for strip material
- Preparation for strapping and transport
- Workshops and service areas in metal and steel construction
