Paper & Plastic Roll Turner
Crane-Suspended 90° Roll Turning with Core Gripping
A crane-suspended solution for gripping inside the roll core and turning paper, film and other wound materials between horizontal and vertical positions.
- Up to 1 t
- Lifting capacity
- 90°
- Turning angle
Product introduction
The HENDL Paper & Plastic Roll Turner is a crane-suspended below-the-hook lifting attachment designed to turn paper, plastic film, textile, foil and packaging rolls through 90° between horizontal-axis and vertical-axis positions. It handles the roll by gripping inside the core. The family covers loads up to 1 metric tonne, with separate manual, electric and pneumatic configurations designed for different operating requirements. Higher capacities and non-standard roll dimensions can be assessed through custom engineering.
Standard Capacity And Dimensions
- Lifting capacity
- up to 1 metric tonne.
- Turning movement
- 90° between horizontal-axis and vertical-axis roll positions.
- Mounting
- suspended from a crane hook.
- Gripping
- inside the roll core.
Manual, electric and pneumatic solutions are separate configurations.
Roll dimensions are project-specific; capacities above 1 tonne are subject to custom engineering.
Working Principle
The attachment is suspended from a crane hook and positioned so its internal core-gripping element can engage the roll. Gripping, lifting and the 90° horizontal-to-vertical turning sequence are performed according to the operating arrangement of the selected manual, electric or pneumatic configuration. Suitable powered versions may incorporate grip position sensors, mechanical turning stops and position feedback for controlled movement. Project-specific arrangements can also address load retention during a power loss. These functions must not be interpreted as standard equipment on every model.
Selection
Specify the maximum roll weight, outside diameter, width, core inside diameter and material, centre of gravity, initial and final orientation, crane hook connection, available headroom and operating duty. Surface sensitivity, the available electrical or compressed-air supply and the required controls also influence model selection. Roll dimensions are engineered for each project, and the 1-tonne family capacity does not imply identical performance across every geometry or configuration.
Configuration-dependent safety features and custom engineering
Depending on the application, interchangeable mandrels for 3-inch, 6-inch or custom core sizes; rubber, polyurethane or polyamide protective contact surfaces; stainless steel construction for hygienic environments; compact low-headroom designs; and parking or transport stands can be provided. Suitable configurations may include grip closure/position sensing, mechanical stops and position feedback for 90° turning, emergency stopping and controlled rotation on powered models, audible/visual status signals and engineered load-retention arrangements for loss-of-power conditions. Not all features are standard on every model.
Technical Figures For A Quote
For a quotation, provide roll weight, outside diameter, width, core inside diameter and material, initial and final roll orientation, crane hook dimensions, available headroom, operating frequency and the electrical or compressed-air supply available. Mention sensitive surfaces, hygienic requirements, 3-inch or 6-inch mandrels and any parking or transport stand requirements.
Questions
What turning angle does the roll turner provide?
The HENDL family provides 90° turning between horizontal-axis and vertical-axis roll positions, in either direction according to the application. Unlimited 360° rotation or spinning the roll around its own axis is not a published function of this product.
Which rolls and core diameters can be handled?
The equipment can be engineered for paper, plastic film, textile, foil and packaging rolls using internal core gripping. Interchangeable 3-inch and 6-inch mandrels and custom core tooling are available as project options. Roll dimensions are established for each application.
What is the difference between manual, electric and pneumatic models?
They are separate configurations selected for the required actuation and controls. On powered designs, emergency stopping, position sensing and controlled turning can be incorporated according to the project. Gripping and load retention are defined by the mechanical and control design of the selected model.
