Advance Lifts, Inc. Truck Levelers<BR>Top of Ground<BR><BR>
click to enlarge
These truck levelers have the cylinders straddling the platform. The units sit on top of the ground or in very shallow pits so they do not offer any down travel. In order to achieve the equivalent of down travel, some applications create a down slope from the hinge point of the leveler to the dock face, so that a truck bed lowers as it approaches the dock face when the truck leveler is fully lowered. These units are also mounted on perfectly level driveways.

Air Spring Lift Table

Air Series (1000# to 8000# The air spring actuated lift tables offer several advantages and disadvantages when compared to hydraulic cylinder actuated lifts. The chief advantage of air spring tables is low cost. Other advantages include the fact that there are no hydraulic systems that can leak and no electrical requirements for operation. They are simply hooked up to the shop air system. The chief disadvantage to these units is the springiness of the units at any intermediate position between full up and full down. If the intermediate position springiness is a problem for an application, there are two ways to solve this problem. First the water glycol option can be chosen so that the air spring is filled with a column of water glycol. This eliminates more than 90% of the springiness. The other option is to select an electric hydraulic lift and apply the air motor option. This allows the lift to be operated on an air supply, but the lift is actuated by hydraulic cylinders that eliminate springiness.

The EWS all electric design (patent pending) is 15% to 20% more energy efficient and much quieter than standard electric hydraulic lift table designs. The large open area under the platform allows for easy straddle stacker access to the platform. These lifts are the right answer for those applications where air is not easily available and hydraulic fluids can not be tolerated.

Tilt Equipment

Bin Tilters

These units are designed to reduce reaching and bending into parts containers. There are models suitable for palletized loads, carts and stacker bins.

Electric Tilters

The electric hydraulic tilters are used in workstation applications to eliminate bending and stretching. The tilters tip containers to the workers, reducing fatigue and back injuries.

Air Tilters

The air operated tilters offer the advantage of requiring no electrical connections. They operate on shop air with a minimum of 60 psi. The angle of tilt may increase as the load is decreased, which automatically rotates the bin toward the operator as it is unloaded.

Upenders

These units are tilters that tilt a full ninety (90) degrees. It is common to equip one platform with a "V" cradle to hold coils or rolls. When this is done we leave a gap of 6", or whatever the customer specifies, to accommodate a pallet at the bottom face of the coil or roll. The upender is the called a roll "palletizer" or "depalletizer". Lifts have been mounted on one of the platforms and so have turntables. If a turntable is mounted, it usually has to be mounted on slides so that it can be pulled away from the adjacent perpendicular face in order to turn a square cornered load.

Turn Equipment

Standard Duty Turntables

TM, TML, TPL & TPH Series

Turntables are used for positioning jobs where heavy duty loads must be rotated on a regular basis. There are two basic types of standard duty turntables, non-powered and powered. Turntables are available in low profile and high profile configurations.

Heavy Duty Ring

Bearing Turntables This large non-powered turn table is for those big positioning jobs where heavy loads must be rotated on a regular basis. This turn table has a capacity up to 7,000 lbs. and a platform size of 4 feet by 4 feet.

Stretch Wrap Equipment

Manual Feed Stretch Wrappers

Series 100 These are the most economical and basic models that are suitable for low volume stetch wrapper operations. While they do not offer the automation or cost saving features of our more sophisticated machines, they do offer a giant step up in safety and productivity from simply walking around a load with a roll of film in hand. The cost / benefit ratio of these machines is very attactive.

Manual Arm Assisted Feed Stretch Wrappers

Series 125

Power Carriage Feed Stretch Wrappers

Series 150 With each step up within these models, there is an increase in operator efficiency and safety. The easier the wrapping job becomes, the faster the operator can work and the quality of the wrapping operation becomes far more consistent. As the volume of wrapping work increases, the savings available to you by model upgrades becomes more and more valuable.

Power Carriage Feed Stretch Wrappers

Series 175

Semi Automatic Stretch Wrappers

Series 200 This series of stretch wrappers is designed to be used in medium to heavy duty applications using less expensive stretch wrap film. it is a feature rich machine which goes a long way towards automating the wrapping procedure and producing very consistent loads. The only real difference between this machine and series 300 machines is the non powered mechanical prestretch device which is limited to an 88% prestretch ratio. This reduces the cost of the machine and is very appropriate for use with low cost film.

Semi Automatic Stretch Wrappers

Series 300 Designed to be used in medium to heavy duty applications.

Dumpers

Standard Dumpers

DP Series With its 2,000 lb. capacity and 36” dump height this dumper can handle the heavier loads you must deal with. This heavy duty industrial dumper rotates 135 degrees to facilitate dumping of just about any material.

Heavy Duty Dumpers

HDDP Series Applications that regularly exceed (6) cycles per hour and more than (1) shift per day require heavy duty dumpers. If the items being dumped act like a sticky commodity that requires frequent jogging to maintain flow, then heavy duty dumpers are needed. These units are equipped with continuous duty motors and the robust design features extra rugged structural members. Thes units are ideal for tough applications.

High Reach Dumpers

HRDP Series These units have been designed for applications that require lifting a container to a high elevation and then dumping it. They safely accomplish the function of lifting and dumping in one compact unit. Applications for these units include grinders and other processing equipment with high in-feed locations. High reach dumpers can eliminate the need for long power conveyors and mezzanines serviced by lift systems.

Recycling Equipment

Drum Crushers

The Drum Crusher is intended for indoor use only. You simply load the drum, close the door and press the down button. The cycle is automatic. When the drum is crushed, the cylinder returns to the retracted position. For safety, all cylinder movement stops whenever the door is opened or the emergency stop button is pressed.

Pallet Munchers

The Advance Pallet Muncher can be operated indoors or, with it's optional weatherproof power unit cover, it can be operated outdoors. With it's standard power unit the Pallet Muncher can be operated continuously for 2.5 hours. From that point onward, due to possible heat build up, it can be operated approximately 20 minutes per hour. Add the optional continuous duty power unit, with it's heat exchanger, and there are no restrictions on time of use. To operate, lower the pallet chute, place a pallet on the tray making sure the pallet stringers are perpendicular to the teeth shafts, raise the pallet chute, engage the chute locking lever, set the shutoff timer. The Pallet Muncher is deisnged for stringer pallets, it is not designed for block pallets.

Roll and Coil Equipment

Roll & Coil Handling Equipment

The simplest form of roll or coil handling equipment is the scissor lift equipped with a "V" deck. Our "Lift, Tilt & Turn" catalog offers many lifts to choose from. Special configurations are always available.
