The Forklift 180-degree Rotator is a specialised hydraulic attachment designed for forklifts. Its primary function is to enable the forklift to rotate loads by 180 degrees, allowing for load inverting and dumping applications.
This device is precisely engineered to maintain the standard functionality of the forklift while adding the capability to handle rotation tasks.
Here are the features of the Forklift 180-degree Rotator:
- 180-Degree Rotation: The critical function of this attachment is to rotate loads by 180 degrees. This capability is valuable for tasks such as turning or pouring the contents of loaded containers or bins.
- Single Hydraulic Cylinder: The attachment utilises a single hydraulic cylinder to execute the rotation. This design ensures a smooth and high-torque rotation, allowing for precise control during load handling.
- Self-Lubricating Bearings and Chrome Shafts: Using self-lubricating bearings and chrome shafts helps reduce maintenance requirements. These components are designed to minimise friction and wear, contributing to the longevity and efficiency of the attachment.
- Operator Visibility: The attachment is designed with operator visibility in mind. This ensures the forklift operator can have a clear view of the load and its surroundings, enhancing safety and maneuverability.
- Additional Hydraulic Circuit: To operate the Forklift 180-degree Rotator, an extra hydraulic circuit is required. This circuit powers the hydraulic cylinder responsible for the rotation. The forklift needs to be equipped with this additional hydraulic capacity.
- Tynes and Hoses Not Included: It's important to note that the attachment doesn't include tynes (also known as forks) and hoses. These components must be separately attached to the forklift to work with its 180-degree Rotator.
Commonly used for emptying operations in building and recycling industries.
**Please get in touch with the forklift manufacturer for the residual capacity of the attachment.
