Premier Pallet Inverter / Turner

• Inverting palletised loads for damaged goods recovery or pallet exchange.
• Transferring products from wooden pallets to hygienic plastic or aluminium pallets for cleanroom or food-grade environments.
• Handling unstable or slippery loads by providing secure clamping during inversion.
• Facilitating the replacement of broken or non-standard pallets with standard shipping pallets.
• Turning products such as sheet materials, drums, or large containers for processing or storage.

Typical load capacity

For this class of equipment, load capacities commonly range from 1000kg to 3000kg.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on 3-phase industrial power, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Operation

Most pallet inverters utilise electro-hydraulic systems for smooth and controlled inversion.

Clamping range

Commonly, these machines offer an adjustable clamping range to accommodate various load heights, typically from 800mm to 2000mm.

Footprint

The footprint for a standalone unit of this type typically requires a floor area of approximately 2m x 2.5m, plus space for loading and unloading.

Safety features

Units are commonly supplied with safety fencing, light curtains, or interlocked gates to ensure operator safety.

• What types of loads can a pallet inverter handle?

  Pallet inverters are versatile and can handle a wide range of palletised goods, including boxes, bags, drums, pails, and sheet materials, especially those that are unstable or require careful handling.

• What are the common safety considerations for operating a pallet inverter?

Used palletizers are valued for their durability and cost efficiency compared to new equipment. Buyers typically appreciate their ability to handle high-volume throughput whilst reducing labour demands. When purchasing used units, key considerations include verifiable service history, mechanical condition of stacking arms, and compatibility with existing production lines. Industry sentiment favours machines from established manufacturers known for robust engineering. Potential issues centre on wear in hydraulic systems and gripper mechanisms, making thorough pre-purchase inspection essential.
