The unique V-shape configuration can securely hold boxes, bags, drums, buckets, and other materials in position while the pallet is being replaced.

The V Shape is engineered to provide important advantages over conventional pallet inverters.

  • All above ground installation—no expensive pit required.
  • The load can be inserted and removed with a pallet jack or forklift.
  • The pallet does not have to be physically lifted by an operator.
  • The pallet is replaced away from the product, eliminating the risk of material damage with a forklift.
  • The V Shape can securely handle almost any type of load.
  • The hydraulic system lifts and lowers the load while an electric motor operates the upper plate.
  • Two versions are available: standard or automatic.
  • A complete mechanical and electrical safety barrier is standard in the automatic model.
  • The V Shape can be easily integrated with conveyor and logistics systems.

Machine Operation
The pallet with the load is placed on the lower platform by using a pallet jack or a forklift. At the start of the cycle, a clamping device secures the pallet to the platform. The upper platform then moves down until a photo sensor detects the load. The load is then lifted and rotated backwards.

With the load in the tilted position, the lower platform moves back to the floor carrying the pallet. The operator then replaces the pallet with a pallet jack or forklift. The V Shape lifts the platform again and places the new pallet under the load. The load with the new pallet is then lowered to the floor ready for removal.

Once in position, it lifts and turns the pile in less than a minute. Piles can be turned with or without applying pressure. It has a proven hydraulic system for lifting and electrical system for moving. It does not require dedicated floor space or a permanent electrical connection.

The Toppy Mobile Pallet Inverter replaces pallets, turns and transports loads. The Toppy Advance is equipped with a touch screen monitor for easy operation and control. It can be fitted with numerous accessories to better handle certain types of loads.

A rubber-coated platform and pressure gauge allows the turning of loads that require improved grip and are pressure sensitive.

Side guards keep unstable loads in place, such as small boxes and bags.

Available in a wide-base (straddle type) configuration for closed-bottom pallets.

Pallet size 48 x 48 inch
Maximum fork opening 63 inch
Lifting capacity 2,200 lbs

Maxi Toppy MPI

The Maxi Toppy MPI shares the same function and features as the Toppy MPI but is engineered to handle larger loads. This unit is also available in a wide-base (straddle type) configuration.

Pallet size 48 x 48 inch
Maximum fork opening 72/85 inch
Lifting capacity 4,000 lbs

The Inverter turns the load radially, resulting in fast turning cycles and it is engineered for high volume operation. Two synchronized moving platforms keep the load centered.

The Inverter is available in two models, both are available with different size configurations. The Inverter S is designed with raised platforms and is loaded with a fork truck. The Inverter FL is designed so the platforms reach the ground when opened, allowing floor loading with a pallet jack and fork truck. Both Inverter models are available in a fully automatic version, which includes a complete mechanical and electronic safety barrier.

The Toppy Inverter can be easily integrated with conveyor and logistics systems.

Toppy Inverter S

Maximum pallet size 48 x 48 inch
Maximum platform opening 66/78.7 inch
Lifting capacity 2,750/3,300/4,400 lbs

Toppy Inverter FL

Maximum pallet size 48 x 48 inch
Maximum platform opening 66/78.7/94.4 inch
Lifting capacity 3,300/4,400 lbs
