Upenders

Upenders improve the efficiency of material handling applications by automatically rotating heavy and bulky loads to an optimal orientation. They are particularly well-suited for industries where materials need to be repositioned for further processing, storage, or transportation. By automating the flipping or turning of large loads, upenders minimize the risk of manual handling injuries and reduce process time and minimize labor needs to enhance worker safety and increase overall productivity.

Upenders are used in production and maintenance applications by facilitating the efficient repositioning of products by rotating them within a 90° arc. They are an effective option for the precise and safe handling of challenging loads. The integration of upender equipment into material handling systems leads to:

• Safer workplace operations
• Better workflow efficiency
• Optimized use of space within the facility
• Maintaining product integrity and quality

Sometimes called coil positioners, upenders rotate steel coils and other loads in either direction. They are used in a variety of production and maintenance applications. Avon Engineering offers both mechanical and hydraulic upenders custom engineered for your particular application. Since both are designed to accomplish the same function, the weight, type and shape of the load will dictate which type is used.

• Promotes more streamlined operations
• Easy and efficient way to upend challenging loads
• Ideal for metal coils, molds, dies and other heavy and bulky loads
• Ranging from 20 ton up to 150 ton as required
