Wheely simple solution October 1st 2005 The Manuvit LEV adjustable width stacker from Southworth Handling allows a variety of loads to be handled with minimal operator effort. So when Thamesdown Transport wanted a machine to handle wheels on and off bus axles and bring them to floor level in complete safety with just a single operator, Southworth was quick to recommend it.
The solution is an LEV adjustable width stacker with a special cradle to support the wheels and rollers on the tips of the lift forks to allow the operator to align the wheel with the mounting studs.
A single operator can position grip and lift the wheel, weighing up to 100kg, in complete safety.
The wheel cradle and tall mast prevent the wheel from tipping backwards. More articles from Southworth Handling Ltd: |
