9 Tilt-Lock designs and manufactures roll handling products that include Tip Lifts, Core Chucks, Roll Handling Carts, Roll Overs and other accessories. Tilt-Lock handles the cost of roll handling with ease. In fact, we handle it with fingertip control. Because Tilt-Lock s patented Tip Lift System actually lifts, turns and transports rolls, coil, or spool materials such as paper, film, or foil with the push of a button. Although one might suppose these jobs to be a small part of an overall operation, Tilt- Lock equipment can substantially cut costs by speeding up production, reducing material damage and eliminating injuries and workers compensation claims associated with roll handling. Tip Lift models are available from Tilt-Lock with lifting capacities ranging from ten pounds to one ton with Roll Overs available up to 5 tons. A complete selection of roll handling, coil handling, material handling, and spool handling equipment and accessories are also available. Tilt-Lock also offers a wide range of mechanical core chucks. Capabilities: Electric Tip-Lifts Pneumatic Tip-Lifts Manual Tip-Lifts Vertical Center Lifts Mechanical Core Chucks Roll Lifting Beams Roll Overs Fork Truck Attachments Load Leveler Spool Lifters Shaft Loader Anti-Telescoping Attachment TL800 Roll Cart Tilt-Lock is capable of designing a complete roll handling or material handling system for a wide range of applications.
