Shipping & Storage
Caldwell Posi-Turner safely picks and tilts loads to the exact angle required for shipping and storage applications.
Product Handled:
- Cylindrical segments that need to be rotated for the fabrication and shipping process.
Inspection, Paint, & Repair
Caldwell Posi-Turner offers precise controlled rotation will allow load rotation to be stopped at any angle for load inspections, cleaning, plating, painting, and repair.
Product Handled:
- Condenser coils.
- Typical piece: 5′ long x 4′ wide x 1′ high.
- Weight – 1,000 pounds.
- Coils are rotated to allow fluid from testing tank to easily drain.

Fixed BailThe core feature of the Posi-Turner® is the smooth and controlled rotation. The Posi-Turner® suspends and rotates objects 360 degrees with controlled rotation. The fixed bail design works well for products that symmetrically shaped. |
PRODUCT FEATURES:
- Lift and Rotate objects without re-rigging.
- Stop or start rotation at any point.
- Eliminates tipping or dropping work pieces and the shock load to the crane assocaited with using two cranes to roll over a load.
- Complies with ASME standards
|
Leveler BailThe core feature of the Posi-Turner® is the smooth and controlled rotation. The Posi-Turner® suspends and rotates objects 360 degrees or more with controlled rotation. In addition, the leveler bail adjusts the center of gravity under the hook to balance the load with a push of a button. |
PRODUCT FEATURES:
- Lift and rotate objects without re-rigging.
- Stop or start rotation at any point.
- Eliminates tipping or droppin work pieces and the shock load to the crane associated with using two cranes to roll over a load.
- Leveler bail repositions the lifter center of gravity as needed during the load rotation to maintain a level lift.
- Complies with ASME standards.
Independent Drive
This Caldwell Posi-Turner consists of two powered drive units suspended from two cranes / hoists, with pocketed sheave driving special coil link chain slings that rotate large heavy, bulky items for assembly, welding, positioning, and inspection. Drive units can be operated independednlty or together, through an operator pendants(s) or remote control.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
- Two powered drive units for precise control.
- Chain slings have disconnect hardware allowing them to be positioned underneath the load.
- Over travel limit switches prevent chain disconnect hardware from running over chain sprocket.
- Standard models include operator pendant on each unit for independednt operation, optional remote control allows for simultaneous opearation
Chassis Master
Caldwell Posi-Turner is the ideal system for inverting truck / bus chassis after suspension installation. Custom designed fixtures clamp to chassis “C-Rails” and contain center of gravity within the turning radius, thus creating a smooth transition. Independent drives allow for fixtures to be positioned to the desited location on the chassis.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
- Fixture custom designed to fit your load.
- Gripping pawls contain load and prevent shift during rotation.
- Chain drive rotation allows for precise positioning of the load.
- Complies with ASME standards
Posi-Gantri
The Posi-Gantri™ is a versatile tool used to turn loads in areas where using an overhead crane is not feasible. The Posi-Gantri™ can span a workbench or area where loads need to be turned during fabrication, assembly, or maintenance. The optional chain hoist can be used to place the load into the rotation slings, or a fork lift can perform this function when bringing the load to the area. Posi-Gantri™ heights can be fixed or adjustable and equipped with or without casters. Rotation slings can be polyester or wire mesh. Specials can be designed to fit your specific requirements.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
- Complete material handling system.
- Heavy duty non-slip drum surface.
- Heavy duty worm gear reducer with chain and sprocket final drive.
- Electric brake motor.
- Bolted assembly to head beam.
- Push button pendant control.
- Posi-Gantri™ can be ordered either with fixed or adjustable heights. Please refer to our Krane-King® section for additional gantry crane information.
- Can also be added to existing gantry cranes, please contact factory for details.
Auto-Leveler™
Model 1LS-48SP Auto-Leveler™. This innovative, patent pending solution is an easy way to keep your load level during rotation. The Optional Auto-Leveler™ can be added to new Posi-Turner® Leveler Bail units, Posi-Leveler™ models at the time of the order or be field mounted to existing units.
PRODUCT FEATURES:
- Control system senses when a load is out of level.
- Heavy duty worm gear reducer with chain and sprocket final drive.
- Efficient leveling during load rotation.
- Reduces sling walk.
- Operator can focus on rotation and operating the crane.
- Auto-leveling can be turned off for manual use if desired.
- Can be easily added to existing units.
- Special applications can be provided.
