Appleton Battery Powered RollMover Improves Worker Safety

 

Appleton Mfg. Division, Neenah, Wis., USA, reports that its battery-powered RollMover™ is perfect for increasing productivity and ensuring worker safety whenever heavy loads need to be moved. The material handler is ideal for moving large master rolls of paper, plastic, film, foil, fabric, tissue, towel, nonwovens, or fiberglass mat, as well as large trucks or chassis; really anything that rolls.

With the power to move loads ranging from 100 lb. to more than 100,000 lb., the RollMover increases productivity by preventing the need to wait for special tow trucks or moving machinery. Although featuring a durable steel frame, the RollMover is lightweight and compact, easy to use, and simple to store. This versatile material handler prevents on-site injuries caused by pushing heavy loads, thus reducing risk and liability. The RollMover also increases productivity and safety by removing the need for air hoses, which have length limitations and can be a trip hazard on the work floor.

The RollMover comes in four different models designed to cover all needs and scenarios:

• Standard Duty (SD) RollMover can safely move loads up to 6,500 lb.
• Heavy Duty (HD) model can manage larger loads reaching 50,000 lb.-plus
• Extra Heavy Duty (XHD) model can manage larger loads reaching 100,000 lb.-plus
• HD Large Roller (HDLR) model offers all of the power and durability of the HD model, along with a large, contoured drive wheel designed for damage-free moving of soft material rolls, including tissue and nonwovens.
