Cherry’s Delivers Custom Split-Table Inverter Solution for Improved Efficiency and Safety
The customer used a V-bed retriever with a split-table design in its plant for the smooth removal of the center pallet and the spacer from stacked boxes on pallets. The company needed to replace the model because it was aging and did not fit all of the specifications.
A replacement custom pallet retriever would need to emulate the V-bed design of the equipment it was replacing, as well as have the capacity to handle double-stacked loads. In addition, the customer required a two-handed operator control and recessed push-button operation. Additional desired V-bed pallet retriever benefits included a machine built to the appropriate height to ergonomically assist workers in pulling the spacers out without suffering shoulder injuries.
Delivering a Custom Pallet Retriever
After contacting Cherry’s Industrial Equipment and receiving a free consultation, the customer hired them to provide a replacement for its current V-bed retriever. Cherry’s recognized that their PSR-118 V-bed model offered a much more modern and reliable design. It has the double-stacked load for spacer removal capabilities the company was looking for, as well as a split-table configuration for center pallet removal. They were also able to accommodate the company’s requests for two-handed operator controls and recessed push buttons.
A platform with protective handrails was designed to elevate workers to the ideal height for the safe removal of the spacers and center pallet and reduce the risk of injury. The V-bed pallet retriever gives the customer the ability to remove spacers, combine loads and change out pallets in seconds. Units offer easy operation and reliable components for increased productivity and lasting durability. The machine was designed, manufactured and assembled in the U.S.
