Samenvatting Our V-shape pallet changer takes a pallet load straight from a pallet truck at floor level, clamps it, and tilts it 90 graden so the load rests on its side and the pallet can be pulled out and replaced. The standard build is rated for 1.5 t, and a hydraulic drive completes the tilt in about 20–30 s. Loads from 600 to 2,000 mm high fit, and heavier builds are made to your product weight.

How the V-shape changer works
The cradle is two plates welded at a right angle, like a V lying on its back. The operator runs the pallet into the cradle with a pallet truck, so no forklift is needed. A scissor-type pressing device closes on the goods and holds them in the cradle. Hydraulic cylinders then tilt the whole cradle through 90 degrees. The weight of the goods moves onto the back plate, and the pallet stands upright on its edge.
Once the goods rest on the back plate, the pallet carries no load. The press eases off, and the operator slides the pallet out and puts in a replacement, such as a plastic pallet for a hygiene area or an export pallet. The cradle then tilts back, the press opens, and the pallet truck takes the load out on its new pallet.
In our video, we tilt a loose stack of black tyres, a load with nothing tying the layers together. The stack lies down on the back plate without sliding, because the press keeps it clamped while its centre of gravity moves over onto the back plate.
V-shape, 180° or push type
| Machine | Hoe het de pallet vrijmaakt | Typische belasting |
|---|---|---|
| V-vormige wisselaar | Kantelt de lading 90° op zijn zij. | 1.5 t standard; usually under 2 t, up to 3 t on special builds |
| 180°-omvormer (FPFZ-1) | Draait de lading ondersteboven | Tot 1.2 ton |
| Drukschakelaar | Pushes the goods off one pallet onto another | 1,000 kg |
A 90° tilt is gentler than a full inversion, because the goods only lie on their side and never hang upside down. That is why the V-shape suits frangible goods such as glass bottles and ceramics. A push-type changer has no tilt at all, but the goods slide across the pallet surface, which creates friction at the base. Choose it only if the bottom layer can take that rubbing.
Past uw lading erin?
| Check | V-vormige wisselaar |
|---|---|
| Laad hoogte | 600 – 2,000 mm |
| gewichtsbelasting | 1.5 t standard |
| Zwaardere lasten | Built to product weight, usually under 2 t, up to 3 t |
| het laden | Pallet truck at floor level |
Check your heaviest and your tallest pallet. For example, a pallet of 48 cartons at 25 kg each is 1,200 kg, which is inside the standard 1.5 t rating. If your loads go above that, we size the cradle, the cylinders and the base for your product weight instead of stretching a standard machine.
Schat het aantal pallets per uur
Illustrative cycle at the middle of the 20–30 s tilt range, with 60 s of pallet truck handling and 40 s to swap the pallet by hand:
| Stap voor | Tijd |
|---|---|
| Tilt down, 25 s | 25 s |
| Old pallet out, new pallet in (illustrative) | 40 s |
| Tilt back, 25 s | 25 s |
| Palletwagen die in- en uitrijdt (illustratief) | 60 s |
| Totale cyclus | 150 s |
| Pallets per uur | over 24 |
Add a few seconds for the press to close and open. The hydraulic tilt is only a third of the cycle. Handling the pallet truck and the pallet swap take the rest, so a roller infeed or a second operator raises output more than a faster tilt would.

Veiligheid en installatie
The operator starts the cycle with one button from a control point away from the cradle, so nobody stands near the load during the tilt. The press holds the goods for the full stroke, which is what keeps a tall stack from shifting. The compact cradle needs little floor space, and we lay out the machine to fit the pallet truck path you already have.

Selection checklist for a V-shape pallet changer
- Heaviest load, and whether it is above 1.5 t.
- Laadhoogte, van klein naar groot.
- Lengte en breedte van de pallet.
- Can the goods lie on their side?
- Fragile goods, or goods that must not rub.
- Aantal pallets per uur nodig.
- Lokale stroomvoorziening.
Veelgestelde vragen over techniek
Q: How heavy a load can the V-shape changer tilt? A: The standard build is rated for 1.5 t. We build to your product weight, usually under 2 t and up to 3 t for special builds.
Q: How long does the tilt take? A: About 20–30 s each way with the hydraulic drive. A pallet swap needs one tilt down and one tilt back.
Q: Why choose a 90° tilt instead of a 180° inverter? A: The goods only lie on their side and never go upside down, which suits fragile goods such as glass bottles and ceramics.
Q: Do I need a forklift to load it? A: No. The cradle sits at floor level and a pallet truck runs the load in and out.
Q: What load heights fit? A: Loads from 600 to 2,000 mm high.
