What is the difference between “mobile” and “stationary” pallet changer?
The mobile pallet changers are very versatile systems as do not need a specific area for the operation that can be performed in any warehouse area. It is also able to compensates the use of pallet truck as it allows the load transport.
The Stationary pallet turners are used by customers that need to change substantial amount of pallets / day. With stationary pallet changer, you need to dedicate a warehouse area for the pallet change operation.
What kind of batteries do mobile machines use?
The mobile pallet changers machines are equipped with the latest generation batteries with a duration of 8-10 hours. The service life can be increased with larger batteries. In addition, for mobile devices there is the possibility to have a “non-stop operating cycle”. We provide the optional “roll-on / roll-off”, a quick battery change system.
As for the stationary pallet change devices, they have no operating limit because they are connected to the electricity network.
Are there other uses for the pallet changer equipment?
There are some pallet changer machines that can also be used to separate the products into multiple pallets (picking). It is possible to separate the product into two or more partial. It’s possible also to transfer a load on the demo-pallets, widely used in large retailers.
More generally, our pallet changer system can also find industrial application in production cycles where the tilt of the load is required to allow processing of the opposite face of product.
Our pallet changer machines are also used in the processes of mixing ingredients by tilting the products. They are also used for reason of aging (example: cheeses) and sedimentation (example: wines).
It is possible to include Toppy solutions within the automatic logistics lines that allows you to complete the production cycle without the use of labor.
Our pallet changer machines can be used for inserting and removing the freeze spacers. The freeze spacers are used to speed up the freezing process and can be removed or inserted by using our mobile or stationary pallet changers.
Furthermore, the pallet changer can be used to replace any damaged products at the base of the pallet (usually the products at the bottom are always damaged during handling), without reassembling the whole pallet.
Do you accept barter?
It is also possible to evaluate the exchange your old equipment.
Why do you have to change the pallet?
There are several reasons why you need to change the pallet:
- HEALTH AND HYGIENE – To comply with the health and hygiene rules that must be respected by pharmaceutical, food and other companies, it is necessary to separate goods from “reception area”, where the shipping pallet remains (usually wooden pallet), to the “white area”, where only sanitized pallets are allowed (usually aluminum or plastic’s pallet).
- DAMAGE TO THE PALLET – In case of damage to the pallets during handling operation, with our Pallet Turner you can quickly replace all them without any damaging to the products.
- DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT – In case of single damaged product, usually at the base of the load, it is possible the complete replacement without reassembling the entire pallet
- OPTIMIZE SAFETY AND TIME – In storage and warehouse process, our Pallet Changer Machine avoid manual handling of goods and help operators to optimize the work, saving time and reducing injuries.
- ORGANIZE STACK – You need to change the pallet to organize stacked products. Our pallet changer systems allow the alignment of the stack, which can be stacked, transported, and stored safely.
What is the difference between “tilting pallet changers” and “no tilting pallet changers”?
The type “no tilting pallet changers” are suitable for products that cannot be turned.
“tilting pallet changers” are used with products that allow them to be overturned without being damaged.
It is possible to test your machines?
It is possible to verify the operation of the machines in different ways. We generally ask our customers to send us the products to test them directly in our warehouse.
If the customer wishes to test personally the effectiveness of our devices, we send videos with specific products and we plan organized visits to our factory.
In addition, there is the possibility with some mobile pallet changer models, to free demonstrations of operation at the customers’ warehouse.
CE certified machines?
Yes, all our equipment has the CE mark. All our product complies with the health and safety requirements of the relevant EU directives or regulations.
It is possible to insert a pallet changer in logistic line?
Yes, our stationary pallet changer devices can be implemented in logistics lines. In addition to this, Toppy is able to create complete logistics lines.
