The Caldwell Posi-Turner is a below-the-hook device used to suspend, rotate and position loads. With only one operator using a hand-held pendant or wireless remote control, the Posi-Turner can lift in excess of 150 tons and handle odd-shaped objects. Heavy duty slings, powered by a roller drum or independent drive system, make it easier to work with hard-to-handle materials - safely, efficiently, and with no damage to the work piece. The Posi-Turner is customizable and configurable to specific environments and applications. The device comes in five core engineered configurations: Fixed bail, Leveler bail, Independent drive system, Chassis Master and the Posi-Gantry.
The Posi-Turner is designed for safety, ergonomics and efficiency. The device provides safer working conditions by positioning the work piece at a distance from the operator, allows the operator to start or stop rotations at any point and provides ergonomic benefits to employees performing production or assembly work. The device meets or exceeds industry standards, including ASME B30.20, ASME BTH-1, AWS D1.1 and ANSI/NFPA 70. The device is manufactured by Caldwell.
