SINOLIFT has highlighted the CTD1025AF Semi-Electric Air Shaft Roll Handling Truck, a customized roll handling solution designed for controlled lifting, positioning, gripping, and rotation of heavy roll materials in industrial production environments.
The equipment combines manual travel with electric lifting, pneumatic roll expansion, electric shaft rotation, and powered lateral shift. This configuration gives operators a more controlled way to handle roll materials during loading, unloading, transfer, machine-side preparation, and production line changeovers.
For customers working with film, paper, textile, nonwoven, printing, packaging, and lithium battery roll materials, the news reflects a focused response to a common handling challenge: rolls must be supported from the core, lifted to the correct height, rotated to the required orientation, and aligned accurately with machines or workstations.
Roll materials are widely used in packaging, printing, textile, nonwoven, lithium battery, film, and paper production. Although these materials may look simple from the outside, moving them safely often requires careful control of the roll core, roll diameter, shaft height, machine approach, and final orientation.
Conventional handling methods can become inefficient when a roll must be lifted, gripped from the inside core, turned from one orientation to another, and positioned close to production equipment. These steps are especially sensitive during line changeovers, where inaccurate alignment can slow down preparation or increase operator effort.
The CTD1025AF was developed around this practical handling need. It uses a pneumatic expanding mandrel for internal roll gripping, electric lifting for height control, electric shaft rotation for orientation change, and powered lateral shift for fine positioning. Travel remains manual push, keeping the machine suitable for workshop and warehouse movement where powered travel is not required.
The CTD1025AF is specified as a semi-electric air shaft roll handling truck with a two-stage, 2.5 m mast. Its maximum fully extended height is 2460 mm, and its maximum shaft center height is at least 1900 mm from the floor. These figures are important for customers who must match the handler to machine loading points, storage positions, or process workstations.
The roll handling system is built around an air shaft length of 400 mm and supports a maximum roll diameter of 1500 mm for vertical pickup. The pneumatic expanding mandrel grips the roll from the internal core, helping support the roll during lifting and movement. This approach is useful when external clamping is not suitable or when the roll surface should be handled with care.
Electric functions add control where operators need precision. Lifting is electric and uses multi-speed jog control with stepless speed adjustment, allowing operators to make gradual corrections during positioning. Shaft rotation is electric, with a 90-degree upward rotation angle for changing roll orientation. Powered lateral shift provides 50 mm left and 50 mm right movement, giving 100 mm of total travel for final alignment.
The structural layout is also matched to common production-floor conditions. The truck has an overall length of 1580 mm, rear body width of 820 mm, inner leg width of 850 mm, and outer leg width of 1050 mm. Its reinforced support-leg design allows the equipment to straddle an 800 mm pallet and enter a 1400 mm pallet, giving users more flexibility around storage and transfer points.
Manual push travel is combined with electric lifting, electric rotation, and powered lateral shift for controlled production-floor handling.
The pneumatic roll expansion system grips the roll from the inside core, supporting stable handling for core-based roll materials.
The truck is specified with a rated load capacity of 300 kg minimum, equivalent to 0.3 metric ton rated.
The maximum shaft center height is at least 1900 mm from the floor, supporting higher machine-side roll positioning.
Electric shaft rotation allows the roll to be turned upward through 90 degrees for loading, unloading, or process changeover.
The lateral shift function moves 50 mm left and 50 mm right, giving 100 mm total travel for more accurate roll placement.
For roll material users, the CTD1025AF addresses several practical problems in one machine. It helps operators lift the roll, secure it internally, rotate it to a needed orientation, and make small horizontal corrections before final placement. That combination is valuable when material changeovers must be completed with control and repeatability.
The truck can support production teams handling lithium battery electrode rolls, separator rolls, film rolls, packaging films, paper rolls, flexible packaging materials, printing rolls, textile rolls, and nonwoven materials. In these industries, roll surfaces, core dimensions, and machine access points often vary, so customized configuration is part of the equipment selection process.
The material also makes clear that final specifications should be confirmed according to the customer's roll dimensions, roll weight, core type, lifting height, rotation requirement, operating space, and production workflow. This confirms that the CTD1025AF is not presented as a one-size-fits-all machine, but as a custom handling solution based on real application conditions.
The CTD1025AF reinforces SINOLIFT's focus on customized material handling equipment for production environments where standard pallet trucks or stackers may not solve the full handling task. Roll handling requires attention to the load's shape, center, internal core, orientation, and final machine interface.
By combining pneumatic gripping with electric lift, electric rotation, and powered lateral shift, SINOLIFT shows how a handling truck can be configured around the sequence of work rather than only around a load rating. This is especially relevant for buyers who need equipment that fits machines, pallets, racks, and restricted workshop spaces.
The project also strengthens SINOLIFT's position in non-standard handling solutions for industrial customers. Instead of separating lifting, turning, and positioning into multiple pieces of equipment, the CTD1025AF integrates these functions into a compact roll handling platform.
SINOLIFT will continue to support customers who need customized handling equipment for roll materials and machine-side production workflows. For future projects, buyers should prepare detailed information about roll diameter, roll length, load capacity, core type, required lifting height, rotation angle, pallet clearance, and available operating space.
These details allow SINOLIFT to evaluate whether the CTD1025AF configuration is suitable or whether adjustments are required for a specific production environment. The company's next step is to keep refining practical roll handling solutions for industries where safer lifting, controlled rotation, and accurate placement directly affect daily production efficiency.
Controlled core gripping - the pneumatic expanding mandrel supports roll materials from the inside core instead of relying on improvised external handling.
More accurate alignment - electric lifting, 90-degree rotation, and 100 mm powered lateral travel help operators position rolls near machines and workstations.
Practical workshop layout - reinforced support legs, pallet clearance, and manual push travel help the truck work around common production-floor constraints.
Custom project fit - final configuration can be evaluated according to roll size, roll weight, core type, lifting height, rotation requirement, and workflow.
