The Rotator clamps the reel from the outside, leaving the reel core free to to be inserted onto the machine spindle. The Reel Rotator can turn reels from a horizontal to a vertical position, and vice versa. Many different reel sizes up to 500kg can be handled. Where space is very limited, the Reel Rotator can be used in conjunction with the Logitrans Reel Lifter. Designed to pick up a vertical reel from the Rotator, it transports and lifts it into production & packing machinery. With an over-all width of only 720mm, the Reel Lifter is small enough to go through a doorway or into a lift.

Logitrans Panther Silent

A Panther Silent low noise hand pallet truck is used in a supermarket. Specially designed for customer areas such as shops and showrooms, it has non-marking wheels that are gentle on expensive floor coverings. The soft compound wheels are virtually noiseless, which also makes the Panther Silent ideal for early morning deliveries in transport & distribution industries.

Personalising trucks with a company name and logo can help to reduce loss and theft of expensive pallet truck equipment.

Logitrans LFS Mini With Platform

A Logitrans LFS Mini straddle pallet stacker fitted with a platform table, is used to lift Chep style pallets to a correct working height. The LFS Mini assists operatives packing pallets in a food production environment, and prevents back and shoulder injuries associated with repeat bending and stretching. This particular packing area was confined with limited room for pallet lifters. Pallets were closed (with bottom runners) and therefore a straddle lifter was needed to lift them - although a straddle stacker was initially ruled out, as they were thought too big for the work area. Logitrans were able to modify their LFS Mini so it was just wide enough for the pallet. This allowed the Mini to fit within confines of the customer's packing line. A stainless steel version is also available for food production high care areas.

Stainless Steel Electric Pallet Truck

This stainless steel powered electric pallet truck from Danish manufacturer Logitrans, is designed for food and pharma applications with high hygiene demands. The forks and chassis are manufactured from acid resistant AISI316 stainless steel - no rust if the forks are scratched. The unit has an electro-polish finish, to reduce hiding places for bacteria.
