Pallet Lifters from Bushman Equipment
|
Bushman pallet lifters are designed to hang level when empty and when properly loaded. They feature high strength steel forks and welded steel construction which provide maximum strength, low unit weight and years of reliable service. All Bushman Equipment pallet lifters meet or exceed the requirements of the ASME B30.20 Standard. Bushman pallet lifters can be furnished with a variety of options including:
In addition to the standard products shown here, Bushman provides custom engineered designs to meet specific, dimension, capacity and application requirements.
From the Roll & Hold Newsletter Rock & Hold - Portage is one of our fastest growing warehouses. The tonnage handled at Portage has doubled since April and the inventory in the building has increased by 50%. But the size of the building has not changed at all, so the Portage crew had to find a way to shrink the space needed for some of the products they store. Faced with the need to increase storage density, Portage Superintendent Earl Winslett and his crew began looking for ways to store more steel in less space. “The eye-to-the-sky area was an obvious place to start,” says Winslett. “We were handling those heavy coils with a large fork lift which required 22-foot wide aisles between stacks of product!” Winslett wondered if there might be a way to handle this product with the overhead crane so that the wide aisles could be eliminated. “I wanted to make the eye-sky area work like the other coil storage areas,” he remembers. Working with Bushman Equipment, a long-time Roll & Hold supplier, Winslett found that a powered Bushman coil grab, that they already owned, could be re-fitted with longer legs to create a pallet grab. This apparatus allows stacking and picking material on skids using the overhead crane. “We’ll just about double the tonnage per square foot stored in that part of the building,” calculates Winslett. “ In mid-October, we challenged Bushman to deliver this equipment before Thanksgiving,” said Bill Edwards, Vice President of Roll & Hold. “We told them we needed the equipment in time to create space for the year-end inventory build-up. They gasped when they heard this, but they delivered in four weeks with a full two weeks to spare!” By creatively shrinking the space consumed by an important piece of business, Roll & Hold-Portage has grown the tonnage they can accommodate.

Pallet lifters are a versatile tool for loading, unloading, and transporting materials of various kinds and sizes. Pallet lifters maximize the efficiency of overhead material handling systems and are frequently employed in areas that have narrow storage
aisles or are inaccessible with fork lift trucks.
