Expand-O-Turn™ Attachment

Expand-O-Turn Features

Core Grip Technology

• Utilizes a core expander that does not involve teeth biting into the core
• Core expander does not damage the core of the roll handler and can be used with both plastic and cardboard cores
• Expand-O-Turn™ (EOT) allows for 90° rotation
• Rolls can be moved from core vertical to core horizontal or core horizontal to core vertical
• The core expander also utilizes wheels to aid in the removal of the roll from the core expander
• Two standard sizes, with 3" and 6" cores. 
• Custom core dimensions can order up to a maximum 10" core dimension.

How Does the Expand-O-Turn Work

1. The expander slides into the core of the roll
2. The operator then adjusts the grip (via a button) which grips the roll from the inside
3. The pendant hand control raises or lowers the roll.
4. Built-in safety feature controls prevent accidental release of the roll

Options

• Optional electric rotator allows for easy rotation of heavy rolls with ease for heavy loads.
• Standard or custom quick disconnecting expanders are available for 3" and 6" cores (They provide an easy transition between different-sized expanders to accommodate multiple products).
• Anti-Telescopic Attachment works best on 50-100 lbs. applications;  allows the operator to manually clamp the roll, stabilizing the product.
  *Actual lift capacities depend on individual applications.
