Load Turner - Posi-Turner®

By the Caldwell Group

Overview

The Posi-Turner® is a patented, ergonomically designed material handling system for the lifting, suspension, rotation and positioning of objects in light to heavy-duty applications. With only one operator using a hand-held pendant or wireless remote control, the Posi-Turner® can lift in excess of 150 tons and handle virtually anything, including odd-shaped objects. Heavy-duty slings, powered by a powerful roller drum or independent drive system, make it easier to work with hard-to-handle materials - safely, efficiently, and with no damage to the work piece.

The Posi-Turner® gives you the flexibility to choose a drive system and a leveler system to create a solution for your application and material handling requirements. There are Posi-Turner® models for just about any heavy material handling application. We can also adapt a Posi-Turner® system for a specific application.
