The rotator for containers, boxes and crates facilitates the loading of all kinds of goods, whether potatoes, grain, scrap metal or small parts of machines and equipment. Advantageous is the Euronorm pick-up, which allows quick coupling and uncoupling of the rotator. Two forged forks of the forklift pick up any container. A lateral holding arm, manually adjustable in longitudinal and transverse direction, prevents the containers from slipping off.
