Bespoke Roll Lifting Solution for a Print Media Logistics Center

Project Overview

A high-volume logistics center specializing in print media sought a customized solution to handle heavy paper and film rolls safely and efficiently. Their key challenges included reducing handling-related injuries, avoiding costly media damage, and minimizing labor requirements in a fast-paced operational environment. The ideal solution needed to support single-person operation, be easy to maneuver, and deliver consistent lifting performance up to 1500 mm.

SINOLIFT provided a bespoke roll lifter tailored to the client’s needs, with a lifting height of 1500 mm and a capacity of 450 kg. Engineered for durability and ease of use, the solution significantly improved worker safety, streamlined media handling, and enhanced productivity across the facility.
