V-Shape is a stationary pallet tipper originally designed for pallet exchanging, capable of handling products of various shapes, weights, and heights, as well as different types.
In fact, the V-Shape is one of the most versatile fixed machines when it comes to product handling.
Originally designed from scratch in 2009 by the CEO and Production Director of the Toppy Group, V-Shape has been tested and improved over the years, and remains one of our best-selling machines to this day.

Features at a Glance
It was originally designed to be highly versatile, capable of handling a wide range of loads, including bags, big bags, boxes, drums, bottles, cans, vials, and many other products. It is also capable of handling heavy and bulky loads!
A Sonar Centering System that automatically detects the product’s dimensions and centers it on the destination pallet, ensuring even edges and proper overhangs. With this innovative feature, the product is perfectly aligned on the pallet after the exchange.
It can be customized to match the level of automation required. In manual mode, the operator controls the opening and closing of the upper and lower platforms, as well as the machine’s tilting. Alternatively, in automatic mode, the process is entirely automatic—simply load the product into the machine and press a button on the control panel to complete the pallet exchange operation.
The tilting of the entire load to 120° is a safe and essential mechanism for handling certain types of loads, preventing the load from falling during the tilting process.
Our pallet tippers can be customized with a full or partial AISI 304 stainless steel or a galvanized finish, ensuring durability and suitability for industries with strict hygiene or corrosion resistance requirements.
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.
Pallet Exchange Cycle of V-Shape
The cycle with the “V-Shape” can be semi-automatic or fully automatic, depending on automation requirements.
The pallet exchange cycle begins with the operator loading the entire load into the machine. The operator then activates the upper platform (via the control panel) to securely fix the load for tilting (up to 120°).
Once the load is tilted, the lower platform opens to separate the pallet from the product, which is lowered to the ground (while the product remains tilted).
When the pallet reaches ground level, the operator removes the old pallet and inserts the new pallet using a pallet truck or forklift.
The operation ends when the new pallet is positioned at the base of the product, which is then tilted back to its original position.
