New Products: Southwest Products introduces new level loader

Southwest Products Corp. has introduced its PalletPal Roll-On, a level loader with a turntable platform that lowers to floor height, allowing pallets to be placed and removed using a hand pallet truck. The rotating, built-in turntable also allows for loading and unloading of pallets from the near side.

The unit has a capacity to accommodate weights up to 2,500 pounds and works with a variety of pallet sizes, the firm said. The level loader's platform is sized at 44-by-48 inches and its fully raised height is 30 inches.

"The unit can be easily accessed from three sides with a minimum of stretching or reaching," Southwest said in a news release. "Toe protection is provided on all working sides. Raising and lowering is controlled by either a pushbutton pendant or foot switch."
