Roll Lifter

Winkle Roll Lifters are purpose-built to safely lift and maneuver single roll assemblies—ranging from small processing rolls to large back-up rolls with chocks—across demanding mill environments. Our automatic and motorized models allow operators to handle single or double work-roll sets, with or without chocks or pedestals, providing a hands-free alternative that eliminates the need for chains and slings. Each lifter is engineered to match the specific roll size, shape, and space constraints of the application, using materials selected to withstand the required forces, weight limitations, and operating conditions. Ideal for any mill operation where rolls are used, these lifters streamline roll changeouts for maintenance or product-spec adjustments, improving safety and operational efficiency. All Winkle lifters are designed and manufactured in full compliance with ASME B30.20 and BTH-1 standards, and we also offer comprehensive remanufacturing services to extend service life and performance.
