Morello has designed and constructed for a major steel mill a hydraulic tilter for large loads to tilt steel products by 90°.

This type of machine is growing in popularity in any manufacturing industry with large loads to tilt. It allows the tilting of loads in a quick and extremely safe fashion, and avoids suspended loads and other risky operations.

This electro-hydraulic tilter is extremely robust and is designed to work under the trying conditions of the iron and steel industry.

For this reason the tare weight of this heavy-duty hydraulic tilter exceeds 30 tons and the loading beds are covered by a 50 mm-thick plate.

This tilter is not only strong but also provides optimal performance. It can actually tilt 80 tons of steel by 90° in only 60 seconds thanks to the 2 Siemens motors and overall power of 60 kW.

If one motor is damaged, it is possible to continue operating with a single motor at half the speed.

Tilting is performed by 4 oversized cylinders powered by a hydraulic control unit comprised mainly of Bosch Rexroth components. The hydraulic control unit is equipped with an oil collection tank of suitable dimensions.

Control of the machine can be  through a radio control or through a pendant push button station.

To guarantee worker safety, this heavy-duty hydraulic tilter is provided with 2 laser scanners with a reading angle of 270°. If someone gets too close to the machinery during operation, the laser scanner detects them and stops the movement.

All tilters can be customized on customer request in every detail. Here you can see some examples: Tilters

Morello has designed and constructed a battery powered cart for the automotive sector.

It can transport dies and other heavy materials up to a weight of 16 tons.

This battery powered cart is very compact in spite of its extremely high capacity. Thanks to its reduced dimensions it can maneuver easily around plants even where spaces are very tight.

The front axle can steer ±45° thanks to a hydraulic cylinder controled by an electro-hydraulic control unit.

It has Ackermann type steering: the two steering wheels have different steering angles in order to converge on a single point on the rear axle line and avoid early wear of the wheels.

This battery powered cart is equipment with polyurethane wheels with a diameter large enough to pass over small bumps and holes.

This battery powered cart can be controlled throught a poentziometric radio control. The speed can be continuously adjusted thanks to the potenziometer, allowing movement in millimeters and extremely accurate maneuverability.

As a backup, a wired control panel is also provided that can be connected on either side of the cart for better driving comfort.

The loading bed is covered in a layer of hard plywood. This cover is designed to prevent damage to the materials transported and to prevent slippage.

On each side of this battery powered cart are 2 tie points, useful for tying down the load with cables.

All electric carts can be customized on customer request in each and every detail. Here you can see some examples: battery powered carts
