45G Rotator with HSBHD
APPLICATIONS
Designed to handle a variety of bin sizes without damaging the bin. The Hydraulic Bin Retainer accommodates plastic and wood bins used in the agricultural markets such as handling grapes, apples, pears, potatoes, nuts and seed. The Hydraulic Bin Retainer is also popular with the industrial sector handling steel bins used to transport scrap metal and paper waste. Bins are held securely on the forks, preventing slippage and damage to the bins when rotated.

G Series Rotators 45G, 55G, 65G
APPLICATIONS
G-Series rotators give your driver the ability to quickly dump or invert a load, then immediately return the forks to the pick-up position in one continuous motion. Rotators are widely used in food processing, agriculture, recycling, automotive manufacturing, and general manufacturing operations where bins or tote boxes are used for both dumping and general handling requirements.​
​
OPTIONS​
-
Customisable fork bars- Allowing for application specific fork spread.
-
Quick-change Lower Mounting Hooks- Allow the rotator to be removed or installed in a matter of minutes without tools. (Quick-change hydraulic couplers available separately)
-
Bin Retainer- Custom designed to clamp on top of bin to hold bin in place while rotating. Typically used when bin does not have fork pockets.
-
Special fork sizes and configurations available.
100G and 120G Rotator
APPLICATIONS
100G Rotators are designed to give your driver the best possible visibility while quickly inverting loads. Ideal for foundries, machine shops and raw material industries where there is a necessity to efficiently dump or rotate high capacity loads.
​
OPTIONS
-
180° Rotation Stop Group
Used when stopping rotation at precisely 180° is desirable. -
Customizable fork bars- Allowing for application specific fork spread.
-
Quick-change Lower Mounting Hooks- Allow the rotator to be removed or installed in a matter of minutes without tools. (Quick-change hydraulic couplers available separately)
-
Bin Retainer- Custom designed to clamp on top of bin to hold bin in place while rotating. Typically used when bin does not have fork pockets.
-
Special fork sizes and configurations available.
G Series Rotator with Fork Positioning
APPLICATIONS
Rotators with the fork positioning ability allows the driver to accurately position the forks from the driver’s seat for handling a wide variety of pallets or bin configurations. Commonly found in food processing, automotive manufacturing, chemical processing, recycling operations and general manufacturing.
​
OPTIONS
-
180° rotation stop group
-
Custom fork sizes
-
Custom fork bar width for application specific fork spread
Rotating Fork Clamp
APPLICATIONS
Operate both as a clamp and a fork positioner. Awkward loads, such as crates, bales & tires can be clamped between the forks.
Fork Clamps can be used to clamp loads between the forks, or they can be extended beyond the width of the carriage when handling extra wide loads, or narrowed down to fit small pallets or stillages.
The open centre frame design provides a clear view of the load through and around the arms, so improving productivity and allowing faster truck operation.
FEATURES
-
Wide Opening Range
-
Efficient hydraulic system which minimizes energy consumption and maximizes performance.
-
Fully Welded Form Arm Clamps
-
Flow divider for equal arm movement.
​
Rotating TurnaForks
APPLICATIONS
Cascade’s TURNAFORK™ is used in a variety of manufacturing, receiving, warehousing and shipping environments that require both clamp handling and pallet handling. Rotate the arms to the vertical position for clamping, or to the horizontal position to handle most types of conventional pallets. Order picking layers of varied product onto a pallet is simplified. In addition to clamp handling of cartons, the versatile TURNAFORK™ is also used for clamping awkward or difficult loads such as large tires.
FEATURES
-
360° Rotating Body - or fixed.
-
Replaceable rubber faced arm pads ensures a secure grip.
-
Mechanical (CTS) arm rotation.
OR -
Hydraulic (HTS) arm rotation.
​
Heavy Duty D Series Rotator
APPLICATIONS
Heavy duty, high capacity D-Series Rotators provide your driver with the ability to quickly dump or invert many loads easily and precisely. Cascade high capacity rotators are widely used in automotive manufacturing, chemical processing, recycling operations, smelting and casting operations anywhere it is necessary to dump or rotate large capacity loads.
FEATURES
-
Visibility—The drive box and motor are positioned behind the baseplate to provide maximum visibility for the forklift driver.
-
Visibility window—for good second tier visibility.
-
Rotational Torque—Excellent torque specifications ensure smooth, positive rotation of the load.
-
Rugged Construction—Cascade’s gear drive box and ring gear design are proven to provide superior service life.
