Paper roll handling equipment

Dotec, a leading name in the paper industry, has been at the forefront of developing advanced paper roll handling equipment. Our LiftAssist technology stands out for the ease of operation, speed, and ergonomics.

There are many different dimensions of paper rolls, each bringing their own handling challenges. Paper rolls can be very heavy and wide, but can also be smaller for end products like packaging materials. These heavy rolls are often moved by slow chain hoists and need multiple personnel for movement. Where the smaller rolls need to be moved fast. Manual handling of these paper rolls can lead to potential workplace injuries and slowdowns in the production process.

Incorporating state-of-the-art handling equipment is crucial for companies dealing with the challenges of handling heavy paper rolls. The systems not only prioritize operator safety but also significantly enhance production efficiency.

Benefits of our handlers

One of the added values of a Dotec lifting solution in this industry is reliability. Minimising downtime as much as possible and making sure that production can reach optimal output, the proportional speed of the lifting device enables this. The Friendly LiftAssist helps the operator to handle these delicate rolls of paper easily and ergonomically.

Our solution for your problems

In the fast production environments, the challenge of managing heavy paper rolls, is difficult. These rolls, often used in the sector of printing, labels and packaging, are typically bulky and heavy. Their weight makes manual handling not just challenging but also inefficient.

To address these challenges we developed our innovative paper handling equipment. This LiftAssist, designed for precision, can effortlessly lift, tilt, and position heavy paper rolls. The user friendly design allows operators to control all functions with a finger touch, eliminating buttons or switches. This ease, combined with the speed and ergonomic features, makes our handler a valuable tool.

Increase your productivity

When handling paper rolls, there is a phenomenon known as 'telescoping' when the core is gripped and lifted, inner layers of the roll slides out, causing instability, damage and a dangerous situation. To prevent this, our handlers can be featured with an anti-telescoping unit. This unit ensures that the rolls remain intact during the lifting and tilting process, preventing potential damages and ensuring the safety of the operators.

A standout feature in modern paper roll handling equipment is the tractor drive. Given the substantial weight of paper rolls and the handling system, manual movement of the handler can be heavy. The tractor drive is a compact motor that propels the handler along its rail and bridge. This automation ensures smooth transitions without manual effort, reducing operator strain and precise roll positioning.
