MOBILE TOOL INVERTER

 

We have designed and manufactured a special mobile tool inverter to solve a problem of rotating a machine tool with the internal rack stuck protruding from the underneath. The mobile tool turner allows the tool to be rotaed 90 degrees so it can be lifted off on its side, split into two halves and repaired.

Sequence of Operation:

 

The mobile tool turner has been designed to rotate a variety of different size and weight injection moulding tools.

 

The adjustable forks are adjusted to suit the size of the tool.

 

The brakes on the castors are applied.

 

The parking jacks are applied if required.

 

The mobile tool turner is loaded using an overhead crane.

 

The tool is strapped in position using a 2 part webbing cargo restraint that can be located in one of three positions.
