Custom Mechanical Trap and Pitch Tool 

Our Ergonomic Partners in-house team of engineers and fabricators built this custom tool to lift, and pitch-release a stack of 13 brake rotors. The tool streamlines the straight transferring process improving productivity and enhancing operator safety. The tool features a UHMW padded pivoting mechanical trap grip hook that firmly holds the stack of rotors in place. The pivot or pitch is pneumatically operated allowing operators to release the stacks once they are securely placed onto racks. The tools controls utilize a force sensing hub and handlebar with buttons positioned high and low for the hook’s pitch / pivot release, and float mode controls. The tool is integrated with a Gorbel Easy Arm and G-Force smart hoist using our gripper safety circuit to prevent operators from releasing the stacks of rotors in mid-air.
