The 180 degree rotating paper roll clamp.

German forklift attachment manufacturer Hans H Meyer GmbH has introduced what it claims to be a new concept, a special 180 degree rotating paper roll clamp.

Manufactured in Hans Meyer's Salzgitter plant, the clamp's 180 degree rotator has a rotating valve that supplies hydraulic oil to its cylinders, eliminating use of a hose. It also has a modular design and all modules are easily accessible and can be changed from the front, Hans Meyer said in a statement.

Cartridge-shaped check valves on the clamp cylinders ensure that, when clamping, hydraulic pressure remains in the cylinder only. Hence the rest of the hydraulic system is without pressure, the statement said.

The cylinders are equipped with test connections that enable simple, exact checks of the clamping pressure.

High tensile bolts inside bushings equipped with grease nipples at the arm or back connection prolong the clamp's working time, Hans Meyer said.

The modular design enables a switch from clamps with fixed short arms to clamps with articulating short arms.
