Taper Fork Stacker

The Specialized Solution for Cylindrical Loads and Low Clearances

Lifting a heavy, cylindrical object like a paper roll or cable drum with standard flat forks is highly dangerous and often damages the product. Therefore, for specialized material handling, you need the Taper Fork Stacker by Meeginz Industries. Specifically engineered for the printing, packaging, and cable industries, this stacker features custom-forged forks that slope downwards to a very fine, wedge-like tip.

Unlike standard rectangular forks that gouge into the sides of round objects, our tapered forks slide smoothly underneath the curve of the roll. Consequently, the load is cradled securely, preventing it from rolling off during transport. Furthermore, these ultra-thin fork tips are perfect for accessing custom skids or machinery with almost zero ground clearance. Ultimately, this specialized lifter protects your valuable inventory from damage while keeping your operators completely safe.

Why Choose Our Taper Fork Stacker?

1. Damage-Free Roll Handling

Product damage eats into your profits. Because standard forks have thick, blunt ends, pushing them under a heavy paper reel crushes the layers of paper. In contrast, our tapered profile acts like a wedge, slipping cleanly beneath the load. Thus, the integrity of your expensive raw materials—whether paper, plastic film, or textiles—is perfectly preserved.

2. Extremely Low Clearance Access

Some loads sit almost flat on the floor. Often, specialized manufacturing equipment or custom export crates do not have enough gap for standard forks to enter. Fortunately, the Meeginz Taper Fork tapers down to just a few millimeters at the tip. As a result, you can slide under and lift loads that other stackers simply cannot touch.

3. Secure Cylindrical Cradling

A round object on a flat surface is a rolling hazard. To solve this, the inner edges of our tapered forks can be specially chamfered (beveled) upon request. Moreover, you can adjust the distance between the two forks to match the exact diameter of your reel. Hence, the roll settles securely into the gap, ensuring total stability when lifting it 3 meters into the air.

4. Versatile Power Options

Every warehouse has different throughput needs. Accordingly, we offer this specialized mast in multiple formats. Whether you need a simple manual hydraulic pump for occasional roll changing or a fully self-propelled electric unit for high-volume paper mills, we build the machine to suit your exact workflow.

Ideal Applications

• Paper & Print Industry: Loading heavy paper reels directly into printing presses.

• Wire & Cable: Moving large, heavy wooden cable drums across the factory.

• Flexible Packaging: Handling giant rolls of plastic film or aluminum foil.

• Textile Mills: Transporting oversized fabric or carpet rolls without snagging.

• Specialty Logistics: Lifting ultra-low-profile skids and custom machinery crates.

Why Buy From Meeginz Industries?

Meeginz Industries customizes equipment for your exact payload.

• Custom Taper Angles: Since roll diameters vary drastically, we can forge the forks to the precise length and angle required for your specific reels.

• Solid Forged Steel: Unlike cheap hollow forks, our tapered forks are made from solid forged steel to prevent bending under heavy point loads.

• Local Manufacturing: Being based in Ahmedabad, we can visit your facility, measure your rolls, and design a stacker that guarantees a perfect fit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Can I still use this to lift standard pallets? A: Generally, yes. You can still lift standard open-bottom pallets. However, because the forks are angled, the pallet may not sit perfectly flat if the load is very uneven. It is primarily designed for rolls and low skids.

Q: What is the maximum roll diameter it can lift? A: Typically, it handles rolls up to 1,200 mm to 1,500 mm in diameter. By simply adjusting the width between the forks, you can accommodate both small and large reels safely.

Q: Is it available in a fully electric version? A: Absolutely. For heavy rolls (over 1 Ton), we highly recommend our Fully Electric Taper Fork Stacker to eliminate operator strain and speed up production.
