Matrix Material Handling Lift
This feather light, turn-on-a-dime wonder can reduce back strain and allows one operator to easily and quickly deliver film to your packaging machines. Made of stainless powder coated steel, this versatile and robust cart can assist operators when completing changeovers. A typical 18” film roll with spindle shaft can weigh well over 100 pounds. Using a Matrix material film lift can reduce or eliminate back strain, pinched hands and fingers and the high cost of workers comp claims, all while helping to achieve quick changeovers. This versatile and easy to use lift works on a variety of packaging machines and can easily fit into tight spaces.
