3. Applicable Workpieces of Steel Construction Turnover Machine:

The most suitable workpieces are: H Beam/ BOX Beam/ Various steel construction workpieces, of regular or special design, large dimension, and heavy weight, usually in the specifications of:

1) Length: Several meters to 15 meters long;

2) Size: 1,000mm to 2,000mm cross section side width;

3) Weight: 1 ton up to 20 ton;

For example:

1) At customer facility: Large H Beam being overturned with movable 180° overturning racks: (Fig.5)

2) At Wuxi JACK workshop: BOX Beam being turned over on Chain type Turnover Machine: (Fig.6)

B. Category and Major Specifications of Steel Construction Flipping Machine:

1.  Two Main Types of Steel Construction Overturning Machine:

Depending on manipulators in the machine, it can be divided into 2 major kinds of:

1) Hard rack Overturning Machine, which adopts mechanical hard L arms (Rockshaft) as its workpiece manipulator, applicable for manipulating on regular cross section BOX Beam and H Beam:

a) Wuxi JACK stationary 90° flipping rack, after assembly and being painted at workshop: (Fig.7)

b) Work Stations:  These hard flipping racks usually being put into use at automatic BOX Beam and H Beam production line:
