In packaging, printing, textile, film, paper, lithium battery, and converting production, roll materials often need more than basic lifting. Operators may need to pick up a roll from a pallet, support it through the core, raise it to machine height, rotate it into the correct orientation, shift it slightly for alignment, and place it accurately without damaging the roll edge, core, or material surface.
Conventional stackers and manual carts are often not precise enough for this work. A roll can shift, telescope, deform, or become difficult to align if it is held from the outside or lifted without core support. For production teams, poor handling can cause material waste, slower changeovers, unsafe manual assistance, and unnecessary downtime around machines.
The SINOLIFT CTD1025AF Semi-Electric Air Shaft Roll Handling Truck is a customized roll handling solution designed for controlled lifting, positioning, gripping, and rotation of heavy roll materials. It combines manual push travel with electric lifting, pneumatic mandrel expansion, electric 90-degree shaft rotation, and electric lateral shift, helping operators handle rolls more safely and accurately during loading, unloading, transfer, and production line changeovers.
Roll-stock handling is different from pallet handling because the load is round, center-weighted, and often sensitive to edge pressure. Film rolls, electrode rolls, separator rolls, paper rolls, textile rolls, and flexible packaging materials may all require stable internal support through the core. Without the right tool, operators may rely on improvised slings, forklift forks, manual lifting, or external clamping methods that do not match the roll structure.
A pneumatic expanding mandrel helps solve this problem by gripping the roll from the inside. Once inserted into the core, the mandrel expands pneumatically to support the roll securely during lifting and rotation. This internal grip helps keep the roll centered and reduces the risk of outer-surface damage, especially when rolls need to be aligned with machine shafts, unwinders, racks, or process stations.
The CTD1025AF is semi-electric because different parts of the workflow require different types of control. Manual travel gives operators direct maneuvering control in tight production areas. Electric lifting reduces physical effort and improves height positioning. Pneumatic expansion secures the core, while electric rotation and lateral shift support final alignment before loading or unloading.
Electric lifting uses multi-speed jog control with stepless speed adjustment, helping operators raise roll materials accurately during machine-side positioning.
The air shaft expands inside the roll core to grip the roll securely, providing stable internal support during lifting, movement, and orientation changes.
Electric shaft rotation turns the roll upward by 90 degrees, making it easier to match process requirements during loading, unloading, or changeover tasks.
Powered side shift provides 50mm left and 50mm right adjustment for 100mm total travel, helping operators fine-tune alignment at machines or racks.
The two-stage mast reaches a maximum fully extended height of 2460mm and supports a minimum shaft center height of 1900mm from the floor.
Reinforced support legs, 850mm inner leg width, and 1050mm outer leg width help the truck straddle pallets and maintain stability around workstations.
Roll changeover speed depends on lifting accuracy, core support, travel control, and final alignment. The CTD1025AF helps operators approach the roll, insert the 400mm air shaft into the core, expand the mandrel pneumatically, lift the load electrically, and move the roll manually toward the production machine. This keeps the workflow simple while reducing the amount of force the operator must apply.
The powered rotation function is especially useful when rolls need to be turned from pickup orientation into loading orientation. Instead of manually rolling, tipping, or rotating heavy material, operators can use the electric rotation system to turn the shaft 90 degrees upward. This helps improve consistency and reduces the risk of material damage during orientation changes.
Final placement often requires small adjustments. The electric lateral shift gives 100mm total side travel, allowing the roll to move 50mm left or right after the truck is near the machine. This is valuable around narrow loading interfaces where repositioning the entire truck would be slow or difficult.
Buyers should confirm roll dimensions before production. Important details include roll weight, roll diameter, roll length, core diameter, required lifting height, machine shaft height, loading direction, pallet size, aisle width, and the amount of clearance around the equipment. The current specification supports a maximum roll diameter of 1500mm for vertical pickup and can straddle an 800mm pallet or enter a 1400mm pallet.
Daily use should also include a short pre-operation check. Operators should confirm that the air shaft expands and releases smoothly, the battery has enough charge, the mast lifts without abnormal noise, the rotation function stops at the required angle, and the lateral shift moves evenly in both directions. These checks are especially useful in production environments where one delayed roll change can interrupt several downstream processes.
It is designed for lifting, moving, gripping, rotating, and positioning roll materials in packaging, printing, textile, film, paper, lithium battery, and converting applications.
Travel is manual push, while lifting, shaft rotation, and lateral shift are electric. Roll expansion and gripping are pneumatic.
The air shaft is inserted into the roll core and expanded pneumatically, creating internal support that helps hold the roll securely during handling.
The rated load capacity is 300kg minimum, equal to 0.3 metric ton rated capacity for the specified custom configuration.
The specification lists a maximum roll diameter of 1500mm for vertical pickup. Final suitability should be confirmed against roll width, core diameter, and machine interface.
Yes. The solution can be tailored according to roll diameter, roll length, roll weight, core requirements, lifting height, rotation needs, pallet clearance, and workspace layout.
