Common practise is for operators to manually lift, inspect and stack pallets outdoors, exposed to harsh working conditions. This can be an area of high industrial injury, with back, shoulder and hand injuries most common. Another problem is caused by the remnants of packaging clinging to the pallets. Palamatic's answer is the pallet inspection system. This consists of a specially designed fork attached to a vacuum lifting unit, easily controlled by a single operator. The pallet can be lifted quickly and safely from a stack, hovered at a workable height and rotated horizontally through 360° for inspection purposes. In this operation, any waste can be removed and disposed of. This laborious task has been made easy, with single operators now able to inspect up to 200, 45kg (100lb) pallets in one hour.
Palamatic vacuum tube lifters are designed and manufactured in the UK. See more examples at www.palamatic.com
