The UltraLite Reel lifter with optional Push Action

Designed with the User in mind

• Safe Working Load  60 kilograms
• Built to Good Manufacturing Practice
• Highest Quality
• Simple to operate
• Light and easy to manoeuvre

In November we exported one of our Long Reach Reel Placers to the US.

The Long Reach Reel Placer does exactly as it sounds – it can pick up a reel from anywhere on a 1200mm pallet, including the farthest end, from any position on the pallet.  It can then move the reel to a production mandrel, trolley or other destination of the customer’s choosing. This one was supplied with pretty much all of our standard head attachments – a cam turner (to rotate the reel through 90 degrees), a single pin lifter for 3 inch cores, a dual pin lifter for 800mm reels, another for 400mm reels, and a 6 inch pin lifter. Plenty of toys for the new owners!

Made from Stainless Steel (Powder Coated Mild Steel is an option) this lifter will provide an ideal reel handling solution to this Pharmaceutical customer for many, many years to come.

In October we had an urgent call from a good customer of Mechandling. They had been chasing an export order with a new customer for some months and had finally landed it. Congratulations were due but there was no time - the end user had pushed for a very quick turnaround. A job that we would normally allow 6-8 weeks for was needed in 3! All hands to the pump (or TIG Welder to be precise)

On time and to budget we made a version of our Tri Tower Powered Lift Table (pictured). Utilising Linak supplied lifting towers we fabricated the framework for our customer to attach their Flexible Glove Bag and other items.

Made from 304 L Grade Stainless Steel, with a Safe Working Load in this instance of 300kg, this table is height adjustable through 600mm from a lowered height of 1200mm up to fully 1800mm (although can be tailored to different ranges in other applications). With heavy duty braked castors, the unit is maneuverable when required but stable when locked in position.

Our customer was delighted – not just with the speedy turnaround but also the quality of the table. Fingers crossed they secure more orders from their customer that we can also help with. Whilst we can’t always guarantee to turn jobs around in such a short time, rest assured that where we can, Mechandling deliver!

Here’s a quick example of a Ball Table that Mechandling recently supplied. Ball Tables are an excellent choice for turning heavy objects, such as drums, with ease. This one was designed to sit within an isolator cabinet but is removable for ease of cleaning.  In other Mechandling applications they have either been fixed into our roller conveyor systems, or built into cabinets where drums need to be maneuvered into position.

This one, made from 4mm 316 grade Stainless Steel to .5 RA finish on both sides, with a capacity of 200k.g. Containing 72 Stainless Steel roller balls (also in 316 grade) to allow ease of movement for the drum, in any direction.  The overall dimensions of this tray was 854mm x 614mm, however other sizes are available to suit.

Mechandling's brand new development for 2018, the Stainless Steel Clad Self Propelled Tele Mono Vessel Lifter / Inverter is designed for lifting Production Vessels on special purpose tabbed forks inserted within lifting tubes on the production vessel. This allows the vessel to be raised and inverted at the required height. This Self Propelled Telemono vessel inverter features mechandling's unique telescopic closed mast design allows for easy cleaning and compliance with GMP pharmaceutical requirements.

Introducing Mechandling's new Telemast Ultra Mobile Elevated Personell Platform. Providing the utmost reliability and flexibility the Telemast M.E.W.P is the perfect solution for working at height.

Mechandling are proud to announce that we now provide ATEX versions of our flagship Ultra range. Constructed from 316L grade stainless steel the ultra can now be used in zone 1/21 and 2/22 areas.

Mechandling introduce a new self propelled Lifter to join the powered Ultra range of lifting equipment.

The new model is based on a Toyota fork truck propulsion unit, which is housed within the new stainless steel exterior. It compliments the existing range of the popular Ultra models which are available in both powered and manual variations.

M.D. Stephen Young was presented with a bronze award from BAE Systems Air Combat division, who make the Typhoon Jet Fighter, for the two specialised Lifters Mechandling made for BAE in 2012.

The prestigious award was presented in recognition of the innovative design that created a solution to a problem previously thought to be unsolvable.

Mechandling can include the Offshore Oil industry amongst their list of clients. The Oil Heater Trolley can transport a 1.4 tonne Oil Heater mechanism through several decks on a offshore Oil Rig.

The trolley is mechanically self propelled can turn through sharp right angles using directionally controlled large swivel castors. It is also designed to be picked up by crane and moved to different deck levels.
