The rotator caters for enhanced flexibility of fork-lift trucks.

Time plays a decisive role in storage logistics. For this reason, a high-quality fork-lift truck fleet is equipped with utmost flexibility: Goods movements are kept to a minimum. Fork-lift trucks with “rotators” can play to their strengths when it comes to efficiency. Apart from the classic up and down of the forks, they can also perform lateral tilting movements. AUMA Drives provide the wheel set for the rotator.

Rotator caters

For the rotator wheel set, AUMA Drives benefits from its large in-house development competence. The size of these worm wheel sets requires sound experience in calculation and sizing. Eventually, the self-locking function of the gear unit is essential for functional safety. For this reason, great importance is attached to production quality.
