A pallet inverter can flip damaged goods for easy removal or replacement, avoiding manual unloading. It’s also used for transferring loads to different pallet types, essential in scenarios requiring specific pallets for shipping or when original ones are damaged. In sectors like food industry, flipping from wood to plastic pallets meets hygiene standards. Additionally, tilting helps check and improve load stability, ensuring safer transportation.
A KOOI® Pallet Inverter offers a versatile and efficient solution for your warehouse needs, enabling safe and quick rotation of entire pallet loads. Ideal for replacing damaged pallets, rearranging cargo, or switching between wooden and plastic pallets to meet hygiene standards, it significantly reduces labor costs and minimizes product damage. This equipment enhances workplace safety and operational efficiency, making it an invaluable asset for businesses looking to improve their material handling processes while ensuring the stability and integrity of their products during storage and transportation.
A pallet inverter enhances safety by reducing manual lifting, thus lowering the risk of injuries and product damage.
A pallet inverter streamlines operations by rapidly flipping or transferring loads, cutting manual labor and accelerating warehouse and product handling.
Using a pallet inverter improves ergonomics by minimizing manual handling, reducing strain, and preventing workplace injuries.
A back rest prevents an unstable load from falling during pallet handling.
An additional wear strip can be welded under the outer sleeve, providing a thicker wear layer and extending the liver life of the outer sleeve.
The retracted length of the reach forks is often longer than the pallet. To prevent the forks from protruding from the back of the pallet when picking up, a pallet stop is used.
A pallet changing machine is a piece of equipment designed to transfer goods from one pallet to another without manual lifting. This process is commonly required for hygiene reasons, when moving goods into a different storage area, or when shipping goods internationally where different pallet standards may apply. The KOOI® Pallet Changing Machines safely and efficiently switches the goods from a wooden, plastic, or metal pallet onto another pallet type while minimizing the risk of damage to the goods. Pallet changers are used in various industries, including pharmaceutical, food, and manufacturing, to improve efficiency, ensure safety, and maintain product hygiene during the handling and shipping processes.
Meijer Handling Solutions manufactures two different principles of pallet changing: units that allow the load to be switched between pallets horizontally, and machines that rotates the load, the co-called Pallet-Inverters. Each principle has its advantages and disadvantages.
The Stationary Pull Installation is mainly designed to the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry and a stainless steel version is one of the options we can offer. Stainless steel is essential in pharmaceutical manufacturing for example due to its non-porous nature, preventing bacteria buildup and ensuring hygiene. Its corrosion resistance allows for regular cleaning with strong disinfectants, while its durability ensures long-term reliability under harsh conditions, making it cost-effective. Additionally, its chemical stability prevents medication contamination. The material’s smooth surface further facilitates easy cleaning and sanitation, upholding stringent industry standards.
The speed of changing pallets refers to the rate at which the unit operates during the actual pallet swap. The handling speed also depends on the type (model), such as horizontal pallet changing machines and pallet inverters. Additionally, the speed can vary depending on the goods being transferred from one pallet to another. Generally, a horizontal pallet changing machine is twice as fast as a pallet inverter, which means approximately 30 seconds to a minute for an inverter.
Meijer Handling Solutions recently delivered a fully automated Pallet Transfer Hub to Nolet Family Distillery, marking another successful collaboration in advanced pallet handling automation. What began as a request for a stationary pallet changer evolved into a fully integrated turnkey pallet transfer solution. In close cooperation with Kumatech, a specialist in AGV systems, buffer storage, […]
Read moreWhere ReachForks Fit Best in a Very Narrow Aisle Design Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) warehouses are often presented as a straightforward way to gain space: make aisles narrower, add more racking, store more pallets. In practice, VNA success depends less on aisle width alone and more on how effectively the entire storage system works together. […]

Read moreWhen a pallet is pushed forward, the distance between the pallet and the forklift increases. This typically requires using a heavier forklift for one-sided loading and unloading. The reason is that the pallet’s center of gravity shifts, and the forklift needs to maintain balance with the extended pallet to prevent tipping. Additionally, the hydraulically operated extendable forks need a 4th function, which many forklift brands offer as a standard or optional feature. Therefore, it’s crucial to consult with your forklift supplier, who will likely be familiar with our KOOI® ReachForks since they are also supplied directly to most forklift manufacturers. If you need local assistance contact your local KOOI® Dealer:
The ISO standards are primarily committed to quality, reliability, and precision within various industrial processes.
