Load Turning Device

Load turning device designed for situations where heavy loads need to be rotated and flipped. There are lot of different configurations of load turning device in industries, including the moulding sand box in casting industry.

Before the approach of load turning device, using standard hoists that are not designed for load turning is extremely dangerous because of side pulling and dynamic shocks that occur when the load suddenly turns.

The operator attaches two hooks to the load, one on each side, which are in turn suspended by the separate hoists, call them hoist A and hoist B. To flip the load, hoist B lowers its hook until the load is completely suspended by hoist A. The load is then rotated 180 degrees around its vertical axis, reattached to hoist B, and lifted into the desired position.

However, in this case, crane frames bend and wire rope assemblies break can be a threaten to workers. Load turning beam is a kind of load turning device. Different with modular load turning units, load rotating beam stands our to help safe rotation.

Thanks to the new designed load turning device, rotation security has been enhanced greatly. Simply hang the load rotating beam to the crane, you can keep a safe distance during the entire turning process. No cabling will disturb the turning process.

Load rotating beams are designed for situations where heavy loads need to be rotated and flipped. For the load rotating modular units, each crane incorporates two hoists to distribute the weight and make turning the load possible.

• Use of slings ensures no damage to delicate surfaces

• Adjustable working width as standard

• Self-locking gear keeps even excentric loads in every position

• Available for manual or electrical operation
