New to Packline Materials Handling and Ultrasource LLC, the hinged vertical spindle attachment was designed in response to a customer enquiry in the food industry to handle rolls of film and foil in a narrow, confined, and restricted space. Constructed from stainless steel, this roll handling solution is suitable for clean room high care environments such as those found in the food, drinks, pharmaceutical and medical industries.
The packaging machines are located inside glass protection cabinets with restricted access to the rolls and load point mandrels.

The bespoke vertical spindle features a hinged mechanism to allow easy access and sideways loading onto the processing machinery in a narrow space. The hinged attachment enables the vertical spindle with the roll to turn to the left-hand or right-hand side, rather than the machine itself.
The manual hinged mechanical device allows the attachment to index from left to right allowing the operator to easily rotate the attachment to either side for loading onto the packaging machinery. During transportation, the vertical spindle is held centrally in position by means of a pin stop release mechanism.
This lifting solution offers geared rotation and manual gripping mechanism with electric lift and lower functions.
The vertical spindle attachment has a gearbox with manual handwheel for the rotation to and from the vertical to horizontal orientations. A further handwheel provides the reel gripping and release action.
The rolls are securely gripped by the core. This mechanism has a torque limiter fitted so that the clamping fingers do not over or under tighten. The vertical spindle attachment features the options of 3” or 6” core sizes.
This stainless-steel roll lifting machine is suitable for use in the following industries:
- Food
- Drinks and Beverages
- Dairy
- Pharmaceutical
- Medical
- Chemical
- FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods)
- Printing and Labeling
The small footprint makes this roll handling equipment highly maneuverable and a natural choice for today’s narrow production lines and demanding lifting requirements.
