Design
A rotator consists of a base plate (1) and a rotary joint (2), which is hydraulically driven via a gear
box (3) with bevel gear (4) and an oil motor (5). A flange (6) is bolted with the rotary joint (2) and a
fork carriage (7). The fork carriage (7) has safety retaining stops (8) and limit stops (9) that lock the
fork arms when rotating. This combination is attached to the fork carriage of the lift tr8ck with upper
(10) and lower brackets (11). The optional side shift (12) is equipped with support rollers (13) and is
bolted or welded onto the ground plate (1).

Proper use of the equipment
Rotators are intended for rotating loads such as crates, containers etc. that have been picked up
with fork arms. The rotation can be continuous or limited to 180°, to the left or right as required. The
optional side shift is designed for moving loads that are
free of the ground
(at least 10 cm high).
