Side Mover is a stationary pallet changer that securely lifts the load and shifts it laterally between pallets.
This machine represents one of the first ever pallet changers designed to perform the operation without necessarily tipping the load, setting it apart from traditional pallet inverters.
We designed it with soft-rubbed padding on the clamps to ensure that the product is not damaged during the lateral pressing, providing a secure and gentle handling process.
Side Mover is available in both stationary and mobile versions. The mobile version can be moved around the warehouse as needed to perform pallet changing operations in multiple areas of the facility.
Designed to operate on the ground level;
Fast pallet exchange;
Safe product handling
Features at a Glance
It can be customized to match the level of automation required. In manual mode, the operator controls the opening and closing of both clamps, as well as the machine’s side shifting.
Alternatively, in automatic mode, the process is entirely automatic—simply load the product and the destination pallet into the machine, and press the start-cycle-button and the pallet change operation will be completed autonomously.
The control panel provided is tailored to the level of automation used.
Soft rubbed padding on the clamps ensures that the product is not damaged during the lateral pressing, providing a secure and gentle handling process.
The pressure to be applied to the products can be easily adjusted by a knob and read trough this gauge.
Our in-house engineering department is able to develop a customized machine layout, adapting it perfectly to the available space at the customer’s site. The design approach takes into account not only the dimensions of the area but also the specific needs and requirements of the customer, ensuring a tailored solution that optimizes the efficiency and functionality of the system.
How Does the Pallet Exchange Cycle Work?
The pallet exchange cycle begins by positioning the entire load inside the machine and the destination pallet to its left.
From the control panel, the operator initiates the side shifting operation to change the pallet, which can either be manual (where the operator controls the opening and closing of both clamps, the lifting of the product from the pallet, and the shifting) or automatic, where the machine handles the entire operation autonomously.
The pallet change operation occurs when the two side clamps secure the product and gently lift it off the original pallet. Once lifted, the product is shifted laterally onto the empty pallet.
Afterward, the product is carefully placed onto the destination pallet, the clamps release it, and the pallet change is complete.
