Hytrol Special

Designed specifically for air compressor tanks, but could also move a variety of tube-shaped objects, this "special" uses powered 6 in. dia wheels to convey the product. The tanks are moved to a certain location, stopped, and the lift is used to raise them for inspection. The tanks can be rotated while on the lift.

Speed of the unit is 30 FPM. Product weight in this particular case is 200 lbs. One interesting note is the OAW (overall width) of the powered wheel conveyor is adjustable to handle tanks with varying diameters.
