West Bend Equipment hydraulic upenders provide great flexibility to meet your material handling requirements. Hydraulic upender platforms can be sized to handle a wide variety of load configurations, including long loads such as paper rolls, or other loads whose length is significantly greater than its width or diameter.

Another advantage of the West Bend hydraulic upender is its unparalleled flexibility in accommodating equipment for secondary handling functions, such as roll discharge tilt platforms, shifting saddles, pallet-centering systems, and load and unload conveyors.  The lower platform of a hydraulic upender facilitates loading and unloading.

West Bend hydraulic upenders utilize high-quality double-acting tilt cylinders. Loads rotate around heavy-duty pivot bearings, complete with lubrication points. Electrical limit switches halt rotation at each end of the pivot cycle. Safety features of West Bend hydraulic upenders include factory-set pressure relief values, maintenance lockout pins, and industry standard guarding and warning labels.

Hydraulic coil upenders from West Bend Equipment can handle heavy jobs smoothly and efficiently.

Hydraulic upenders employ one or more double-acting cylinders to rotate the platforms.  On a hydraulic upender, one platform may be significantly smaller or larger than the other. This makes these upenders suitable for loads that are larger in one dimension than the other. These coil upenders can also handle more than one coil.

The hydraulic upender's power unit provides an ideal power source for secondary functions such as shifting saddles and pallet centering.
