80 Ton Tank Turning Rolls (Vessel Rotators) Product Information
Fixed height turning rolls are fundamental tools used to rotate and position pipes or other cylindrical workpieces. They are a reliable solution destined for welding applications including light tubes or extra-heavy walled pipe. They can be easily integrated with column and boom manipulators that maximize vessel fabrication productivity.
Pipe Stand’s fixed turning rolls have the largest diameter range and load capacity in their class. Fixed height turning rolls are useful for quick change-overs between different sized workpieces. They maximize the ease & quality of welds using synchronized rotation and reduce pipe preparation costs. Driveshaft-free dual drives with synchronized rotation provide maximum traction and control. 80T-700/800 reduces idle time using cranes and manual manipulation increasing throughput and safety of workers.
All Pipe Stand’s rollers, including 80T-700/800, in the power section, are power-driven. It provides a loadability of up to 80 tons. They can adjust to the diameter of the cylindrical objects manually or through control options that are upgradeable per customer’s request. The diameter range is 0.45 M – 7.92 M / 1.5′ – 26′. We offer many other accessories and options that can be combined together that meet our customer’s demands and needs.
