Available from RUD Chains is a manipulation device for the safe turning and tilting of heavy and awkward plant items such as plastic injection moulding tools.

The Tool-Mover offers many safety features: It turns the load at the centre of gravity which means that it is turned very smoothly and securely. The Tool-Mover has a frequency controlled drive which ensures an even and smooth drive from start to finish, and it can be stopped in any position securely even if power to the unit is cut.

The Tool-Mover is easy to use and position. It does not need to be bolted to the floor and can be moved by a crane or fork lift/pallet truck. It is able to turn injection moulding tools with a weight of up to 10t on a table measuring 1 x 1 x 1m by up to 90°.
