Topal "PAL BEAM / PAL TURN" For Turning / Rotating of Loads. One or Two Rotating Belt Options - Range to 20000kg

The Pal-Turn system consists of a tube rotated by a gear driven motor. Pulleys, protected by castings, are mounted at both ends, which rotate the straps and in turn rotate the load. A control button box enables the exact position of the load to be easily achieved.

Specification

• Machine length up to 6 metres standard (bespoke systems and length available on application).
• Easy adjustment through indexing on adjustable models.
• Pendant or remote control.
• Single or dual-speed motor.
• Load held by textile or other straps.

Applications

The turning and handling of heavy and bulky loads is difficult and dangerous. To safely achieve this we offer PalTurn, a new range of systems for load turnover with fixed or adjustable lengths. Pal-Turn prevents shock loading and damage from scratches and deformation when:

• Quality inspections are being made.
• Machining, assembling, finishing and marking.
• Handling.

Flexible use, reliable and without any maintenance, the Pal-Turn system meets the need of tomorrow's handling today.

Maximum Safety

• Users: No risk of the load sliding or dropping.
• Products: No marking or damage.
• Equipment: Smooth operation.

Range

• Capacity from 1000kg (1 tonne) to 20000kg (20 tonnes).
• Fixed or adjustable load centres.
• Customised machine length.
• Anti-tilt signalling.
• Retractable lower hook.
• Infrared remote control available.
• Battery operated model available.
• Possible modifications of the machine during its life.

Standards

• Safety factor in accordance with the European Materials Handling Federation (1998 FEM 3rd edition).
• Conformity to current European standards.

Directions For Use

Fir the Pal-Turn system onto the lifting system and place the straps at the base of the pulleys. If necessary on the adjustable model adjust the position of the pulleys to ensure that the load is horizontal. The Pal-Turn can then be operated.

Lifting Hooks

In order to adapt the Pal-Turn to various installations, several lifting hooks are available for simple or double hooks.

Turnover Pulleys

To increase safety and avoid clogging, the pulleys are protected with steel casing. Two screws enable the opening of these casings to free the straps. The pulleys may be either fixed or adjustable throughout the whole length.

Load Hold

Textile Straps

The Pal-Turn system operates using flat straps and the choice of strap type, endless or with buckles, and their construction material is made depending upon:

• The material, weight and perimeter of the load.
• The set-up and conditions of use.
• The adhesion to half the sling angle included between 0° and 45°.

Other Load Hold Types

Pal-Turn can also be developed to operate with different types of straps. e.g. chains, cables and slings.

Anti-tilt System

This option has two functions:

• To help the operator when balancing the load prior to the operation.
• To notify the operator in case the load becomes unbalanced during the turning operation.

Retractable Lower Hook

This option enables the load to be lifted without setting down the Pal-Turn.

Electrical control and supply

• Switch box to protect the motor and the user (except 1000kg model).
• Pendant or remote control.
• The electric supply is through 3-phase or batteries (multi-energy model 2000kg).
• Single or dual speed.
• Standard IP54 electrical protection index (protection against dust, n noxious deposit, protection against water ejection from all directions). Otherwise indexes are available upon request.
