See How Wildeck’s products integrate with packaging and converting automation applications in Booth No. E-7023 at PACK EXPO 2018 in Chicago

Wildeck is demonstrating how its storing, lifting and guarding products perfectly compliment automation applications within the packaging and converting industries in booth No. E-7023 at PACK EXPO 2018, Oct. 14-17, at McCormick Place in Chicago.

For companies looking to automate their packaging or converting applications, Wildeck’s products, including mezzanine platforms, vertical material lifts (VRCs), new RiderLift™ rideable material lifts, Wilgard® protective guard rail, and EdgeAlert™ open gate alarms are engineered to be fully integrated into larger, automation projects.

As a total solutions supplier, Wildeck works closely with distributors and integrators to design both standard and custom-designed products to help companies find and utilize space while protecting high-value equipment, packaged goods and facility personnel. Wildeck’s products are built to exact standards for the packaging industry, and are in compliance with OSHA codes for safety and ergonomics.

“Space is always a premium for many packaging and converting industry customers, and our products are designed to not only create more space, but to maximize the efficiency and safety of that space,” said Kelly Kamlager, Director of Marketing, Wildeck, Inc. “Wildeck has the products and design expertise to make packaging industry projects run smoothly.”

One of Wildeck’s newest innovations for packagers is the RiderLift RML family of rideable material lifts that allow an authorized rider to safely travel with their cargo between levels. Unlike traditional VRCs that can only transport material, Wildeck’s RiderLift provides numerous benefits for the packaging industry, including:

Increased material handling efficiency, at a fraction of the cost of an elevator

Improves safety, reducing worker fatigue, while minimizing lost time accidents

Optimizes the utilization of facility capacity gained from mezzanines, rack systems, and pick modules

Provides a robust range of four lifting capacities to safely transfer virtually any packaged materials and one authorized rider.

RiderLift™ (base unit) Capacity – 2,500 lb.

RiderLift™ XL – 5,000 lb.

RiderLift™ 2XL – 8,000 lb.

RiderLift™ 4XL – 10,000 lb.

Wildeck’s versatile new LadderLink™ system is a modular access solution that provides packaging and converting industry personnel full control over the level of access they require to machines, conveyors, and equipment in their facility. Customers can combine up to five different pre-engineered steel LadderLink components, to provide virtually endless configurations of work platforms, crossovers, and stair systems perfectly tailored to their individual needs.
