Materials Handling

In order to maintain the highest productivity in any factory environment, materials must be transported around the factory safely and efficiently.

Jarshire specialises in many aspects of materials handling and prides itself in providing cost-effective materials handling solutions for a wide range of applications.

Reel Lifter

The Jarshire reel lifter/turner is designed to lift and turn reels up to a maximum weight of 250 kg. Completely manoeuvrable, the unit will handle reels from 400 mm diameter to 1200 mm diameter and, for example, will palletise 5 reels with a width of 322 mm on to a standard pallet. The unit is powered by maintenance-free gelatine electrolyte battery for up/down, rotate, forward and reverse movements.

Roll Pusher

The product was designed to facilitate handling reels, in paper or any other material, inside plants. Easy-to-use, sturdy and economically priced, it makes work simpler and surer. Pneumatically driven, by easy connection to the internal compressed air system, it can push up to 6 tons (13,000 lbs) over a flat surface. It comes in two standard configurations with the oversize version making it possible to lift 3 tons (6,500 lbs) of reels onto the automatic loading trolley used especially by cardboard corrugators. However, the machine can be customised if necessary.
