The Hovmand pile handler HPL-100 is a lifting trolley system which can pick up a large sheet pile (up to 380mm pile height), move it to the Smart-binder and place the pile on the lift table of the sheet feeder SB-095, SB-096 or SB-097. This reduces the Smart-binder stop-time by reducing the pile reload time.
The HPL-100 is an alternative to the PLT-100 loading trolley system for the SB-095 and SB-096, and is the only trolley that can be used with the SB-097.
The HPL-100 is mounted on wheels so it can be easily moved around the factory. An integral battery-powered electric motor is used to raise and lower the forks.
A separate 'pile-support tray' allows the forks to be lowered and withdrawn when the pile is placed on the feeder lift table.
