Rotating Lifting Devices
Heavy Duty. Custom Designed
Efficient and safe material handling is critical in industrial environments, especially when dealing with heavy, bulky, or awkward loads. Rotating lifting devices from Avon Engineering provide an engineered solution for lifting and rotating large materials—such as ladles, steel slabs, coils or rolls—enhancing handling flexibility and improving worker safety. This robust lifting equipment is essential for applications that require precision orientation or repositioning of loads without manual effort.
Avon Engineering designs and manufactures customized rotating lifting devices to meet the specific needs of our customers’ material handling operations. Our solutions are tailored to suit diverse load sizes, orientations, and environmental conditions commonly found in heavy-duty manufacturing and steel processing facilities.
Benefits of Rotating Lifting Devices from Avon Engineering
Our rotating lifting devices improve throughput and reduce manual handling risks by:
- Enabling controlled rotation of heavy or irregularly shaped loads
- Improving safety by reducing the need for manual repositioning
- Increasing productivity by speeding up material loading and unloading cycles
- Allowing for multi-axis handling, positioning materials exactly where needed
Avon’s rotating lifting devices are engineered for reliability and durability:
- Engineered to meet ASME B30.20 standards for below-the-hook lifting device
- Designed to rotate loads ranging from a few tons to 100 tons or more.
- Suitable for ladles, steel slabs, coils, rolls and other heavy industrial components
- Precision motorized or manual rotation options available
- Equipped with safety interlocks, load balancing features, and custom lifting attachments
Purchase Considerations
When evaluating a rotating lifting device for your operation, consider the following:
- Load Capacity and Type: Define the weight, center of gravity, and dimensions of your load.
- Rotation Requirements: Determine full or partial rotation needs, degree of rotation, and control method.
- Mounting Style: Choose from floor-mounted, crane-suspended, or integrated with transfer car or upender systems.
- Safety Requirements: Assess the need for locking mechanisms, limit switches, guarding, and operator interface.
- Durability: Ensure construction materials and drive components are suited for your facility’s environmental conditions.
System Requirements
To implement a rotating lifting device effectively, ensure the following system elements are addressed:
- Structural Support: Verify the supporting structure can withstand load and rotational forces.
- Power and Controls: Provide electrical supply for motorized systems and consider integration with plant automation.
- Maintenance Access: Allow space for regular inspections, lubrication, and component replacement.
- Safety Zones: Maintain clear areas around the device to accommodate rotation and operator access.
