Huron Technology has introduced the 4-Way Fork Box Pallet Dispenser. It offers a small, robust footprint with a modular pallet dispenser or stacker that requires less supply air in a form that can be modified to meet nearly any demand.
The standard Fork Box Pallet Dispenser (FBD4) uses pneumatically actuated forks to hold the pallet or stack while a hydraulic scissor lift does the heavy lifting. This not only lowers air supply demands when compared to typical pallet dispenser models, but the scissor lift also allows virtually unlimited positioning for any size pallet. The fork actuation and scissor lift can be made to use electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic actuation depending on the needs or limitations of the site.
The FBD4 is also space saving and offers a standard 15 pallet capacity magazine, but an extension is available to increase capacity to 20 pallets. By storing pallets in the dispenser, you recover an average of 13.33 square feet of floor space per short stack that would otherwise be sitting on the plant floor.
The FBD4 also takes on a bit of a modular approach, allowing for the replacement of individual components if they should get damaged or fail over time, instead of replacing the entire unit. Solid steel sidewalls on the magazine prevent any broken or non-conforming pallets from causing snags or misalignment during operation.
