Upender Inverter provides solution for Oilfield Industry

A customer in the oil & gas industry was looking for a way to invert their large gear box castings 180 degrees weighing upwards of 10,000 lbs. They wanted to eliminate the use of their overhead crane because of safety reasons & that it may cause damage to their castings. They were also limited to the amount of floor space available. We were able to develop a heavy duty upender inverter using only one feed conveyor. The powered conveyor would not only feed but receive the load once inverted. This system was such a great solution they’ve purchased multiple units thanks to the cost savings benefit in the amount of time they reduced to perform this task.
