Load Transfer Systems

A load-transfer system moves a load from one pallet or support surface to another. It is a separate machine from a pallet inverter and solves a different problem.

About Load Transfer Systems

A load-transfer system moves a load from one pallet or support surface to another without rotating it. Load-transfer systems sit in pallet-handling flows where product has to change carriers between processes.

  • Unreliable transfer cycles
  • A change in pallet or carrier type
  • Integration with new upstream or downstream equipment

Load Transfer Applications

The right system depends on how the load arrives, what pallet or support surface it needs to move to, how the load is stabilized and what equipment handles it before and after the transfer.

Pallet Swap

Pallet swap is an operation within the load-transfer system, not a separate machine category.

Integration & Service

Steel Square can work around the machine, controls, surrounding handling equipment and integration needed to fit the system into the facility process, including service where the project requires it.

Project proof

At Walgreens Anderson, Steel Square scope includes a load-transfer system alongside the pallet inverter and Octopus C-Series stretch wrapper.

FAQ

FAQ

How is a load-transfer system different from a pallet inverter?

A load-transfer system moves the load between surfaces. A pallet inverter rotates the load. They are separate machines used for different steps.
