Roll Handling – Carpet Pole
Lift-truck operators using a carpet pole to pick product from a rack have to thread a needle far above them while they are at ground level.
Without a solution in place:
- The operator must judge when the roll cores are in the rack receptacles while looking up from ground level. It is difficult to see the ends of wide rolls.
- Rolls may be dropped, creating an extreme safety hazard and damaging product.
- Large fork-carriage attachments block visibility when picking product and driving.
Using an HVS camera system:
- The operator can view both ends of the roll together on a screen via a customized camera system; they see the roll cores settling into the rack receptacles, magnified and from above.
- Operator throughput and confidence increase.
- Product damage and safety incidents decrease.
Other Applications
HIGH/DEEP REACH
Warehouses often have narrow aisles, tall racking, and double-deep racking in order to store a higher volume of products. It is difficult for forklift operators to judge the height of their forks when picking from an upper rack level. Double-deep racking presents an additional challenge because operators must insert their forks without seeing the pallet when picking from the rear layer.
ROLL HANDLING
Rolls of material are often very large and can block the forklift operator’s view, making it difficult to maneuver the forklift. Rolls are easily damaged or soiled, causing scrap loss. It is difficult for the operator to place the ends of the roll core into rack receptacles without cameras to help.
REAR VIEW
Maneuvering a forklift is difficult since it requires driving in reverse for most jobs due to the load obstructing the frontal view. Rear-end steering makes the forklift take tight turns in the front but swing wide in the back.
Let's Build Something Together
HVS welcomes the opportunity to work with original equipment manufacturers (OEM) to help integrate camera systems into their products.
Eliminating visibility issues for operators will make your equipment easier and safer to use and will remove a possible barrier to purchase. HVS is able to design camera systems to integrate with your equipment, support its application, and suit its operating environment.
We have been in business more than 25 years.
We don't just sell you a camera system and make you figure out how to use it.
We develop product and can configure camera systems as needed.
We can special design a system to fuse into your product and manufacturing process.
For manufacturers wanting to build a camera system into their product, we go to great lengths to choose or develop the right equipment for their needs. We can tailor most features of our systems and we will work with your team to ensure that the camera system will smoothly integrate into your product and manufacturing processes.
