Large Roll Handling within the converting industry is typically performed by means of core plugs and shafts.  For light weight hollow core plug (less than 100 lbs.) Alum-A-Lift offers portable, light-weight core plug lifts capable of engaging the plug by means of manual or powered grippers.  This eliminates manual handling of the core plugs and prevents back strain among operators required to manually remove and insert core plugs.  For heavier solid core plugs and shafts (100 lbs. or more), Alum-A-Lift offers Powered Grippers mounted to either manually driven or power driven lifts.  These lifts allow the core plugs and shafts to be removed and inserted at the push of a button and are a much more beneficial alterative to the stationary core plug and shaft handlers on the market.
