Lifting and handling – Tool-Mover

The Tool-Mover is the latest innovation from RUD Chains Ltd, manufacturer of high-quality round-steel chains and components for applications in mechanical engineering, hoisting, conveying and drive systems.

Described as a manipulation device for the safe turning and tilting of heavy and awkward plant items the Tool-Mover is said to turn the load at the centre of gravity, which means the load is turned very smoothly and securely, according to RUD. It adds that the Tool-Mover is equipped with a frequency-controlled drive, which ensures an even and smooth drive, and it can be stopped in any position securely, even if power to the unit is cut.
