Step 01 / Occasional Work

Choose CTY when the route is short

CTY1000-M700 uses a hand pump for lifting and manual push-pull travel. The published reference includes 1,000 kg capacity, 854 mm maximum platform elevation, 800 mm maximum roll diameter, 1,400 mm maximum roll width and 208 kg weight. It can suit occasional movement in a small workshop or storage area, but buyers should verify loaded push force, thresholds and floor condition.

Step 02 / Assisted Lifting

Choose CTD when lifting creates the main strain

CTD1000-M700 provides powered lifting while the operator controls travel manually. Its published reference lists 1,000 kg capacity, 841 mm maximum plate lift, 500 mm barycentre, 1,000 mm maximum roll diameter and 1,500 mm maximum roll width. The bracket pallet and electronic lock-and-protect concept are intended for cylindrical cargo. Confirm the actual roll geometry and centre of gravity before ordering.

Step 03 / Frequent Transfers

Choose CDD when travel repeatability matters

CDD1000-M700 combines electric lifting and electric walkie travel. The published reference lists a 1,000 kg version, 800 to 1,400 mm available reel diameter, 465 mm load centre, 1,220 mm cradle lift, 1,200 mm minimum turning radius, 24 V battery power and 364 kg service weight including battery. It is a stronger candidate for frequent transfer and machine positioning, subject to battery duty cycle and route review.

Application Pain Points

Different industries need different levels of assistance

Printing houses often need controlled delivery from storage to a printer or converting line. For occasional movement over a short route, CTY can be a practical lifting aid. When operators repeatedly lift rolls onto a nearby machine, CTD reduces lifting effort without requiring electric travel. When a production line needs repeated roll transfers throughout a shift, CDD is the stronger candidate for powered movement.

Film and flexible-packaging plants should focus on roll width, surface protection, alignment and approach direction. Textile plants should consider transfer frequency and required presentation height. Paper warehouses should measure long routes, expansion joints, ramps and charging locations. In every case, the largest roll should be used for route validation.

Procurement Checklist

Information that makes a quotation useful

Prepare maximum and normal gross load, roll diameter, width, core diameter, orientation, centre of gravity, pickup height, destination height, route length, narrowest aisle, turning points, floor condition, ramp information and movements per shift. Add indoor or outdoor use, dust, moisture, washdown, temperature, hygiene restrictions and proximity to operators. State whether the machine must pass a doorway, enter a truck, work beside a production line or position the roll against a spindle.

Practical Recommendation

Choose the equipment level the workflow can justify

CTY is the first model to evaluate when the budget is limited, handling frequency is low and the route is short. CTD is the middle option when the business wants powered lifting and precise manual travel. CDD is suitable when reduced travel effort, repeatability and a busy route justify battery-powered movement. Ask about load support, anti-roll protection, load centre, side-pull restrictions, final drawings, training and acceptance method before purchase.

At delivery, compare the model with the quotation, inspect the interface, test unloaded movement and complete a controlled trial with an approved roll. Record route observations and open verification items.

Visual Application Reference

Inspect the equipment before choosing the drive system

These images help procurement teams compare the visible structure of a CTD roll lifter: the front support area, mast, control zone, protective frame and factory footprint. The first two are shipment evidence from the supplied material. The last two are application-reference images and should not be treated as proof of a particular customer project or performance result.
