The paper industry needs precision, high loading capacity and gentle handling for valuable loads. Efficient production, high storage space utilization and smooth loading and unloading of paper products affect performance and operating efficiency.
Warehouse operators and staff, as well as environmental factors, are also key players in the industry.
Recycling is one of the fastest growing and evolving industries in the industry, however recycling activities take place in some of the most demanding material handling environments, with particular risks associated with high levels of dust and residues.
Therefore, lifting vehicles and material handling equipment must provide reliable performance and high operating time.
With a long history and a well-established reputation in the paper-related industries, Hyster offers a comprehensive range of machines and solutions to meet the unique challenges of the paper and recycling industry, with additional knowledge and expertise provided by dedicated Industry Managers.
PAPER AND RECYCLING
The paper and recycling industries are closely linked. Paper mills require both precision and power to handle bulk rolls of paper as well as space and infrastructure for recycling pulp, paper and cardboard. As the industry evolved, there are now recycling companies in many towns and villages that process paper, plastic, and aluminum balls that either feed local mills or ship them internationally to create new products such as packaging, tissue products, and sanitation. p>
Hard Paper Parcel Management Solutions

Handling paper parcels is an extremely tough application that involves handling pulp and recycled paper at recycling facilities or from paper mills. Paper packaging products are the main raw materials used in the manufacture of paper.
Parcel handling applications typically operate 24 hours a day, five days a week, often more during peak production hours. Forklifts must be able to work hard to maintain the production line.
Other complications that can put a lot of pressure on both the attachment and the front of the forklift include the lack of uniformity of parcel size, their inconsistent weight and water absorption, dramatically increasing the weight of the recycled paper.

Understanding the application and configuring the right Hyster vehicle and attachments is able to offer customers a solution to handle these harsh environments.
Manage paper rolls

Efficient paper roll management, which is cost and space savings.
Handling paper rolls includes rollers of various sizes, shapes, and textures, with the most common types being printing paper, tissue paper, and wrapping paper.
By providing the right combination of machinery and components, it is possible for the load to be closer to the truck, which means that a smaller forklift truck is required, giving customers the advantage of both cost and space savings.
Paper rolls can rest gently on the ground without damage thanks to the integrated functionality of the hydraulic attachment system allowing both rotation and tightening using mini levers directly under the control of the operator.

Reduce the risk of damage and stop paper roll distribution
Paper rolls can be transported by road, sea and rail freight - including cargo handling and the use of a variety of handling methods and accessories.
Paper rolls are handled many times between production and end customer, and the high value of these rollers makes their safe handling critical.
Although they often have a protective layer of paper on the outside, damage can be caused by the calipers being too tight or during transport due to uneven placement on the ground. Even a simple damage to the edges can result in the use of an entire piece of damaged paper or end customers refusing to accept the delivery of goods.
The right combination of forklifts, accessories and handling equipment can help ensure paper rolls are delivered without damage, reducing the risk of power outages and financial losses.

Manufacturing procedures and clamp systems for paper roll customers
Paper roll customers typically need to be able to handle paper rolls in a wide variety of manufacturing processes, such as printing, paper mill & amp; in cardboard production.
Due to the different types of paper rolls they handle, different clamping systems must be used to better protect the product:
Standard paper rollers usually rotate 180 ° or 360 ° and have different contact pads to fit different types of paper. Rotation is necessary for the transition between normal handling and storage to the power supply of the processing machines and vice versa.
Tissue Roll Tongs are similar to paper roll clamps, except that the larger contact pads and opening width increase the contact surface and reduce force and therefore damage to the paper roll.
Roller lifts allow the paper roll to be 90% off the ground and are used to pick up rollers from machines when normal paper roll clamps cannot reach or were inadequate or when trucks or cardboard machines are unloaded / loaded .
Tweezers with independent arms allow the clamp to handle two different rollers simultaneously.
Double Tweezers allow you to move up to 6 rolls of paper at a time. These clamps are non-rotating and are often used when quick unloading is needed in loading and unloading applications.
Paper product handling
Learn more
Finished paper products are palletized or bonded products that have a lower density but a larger volume.
Production facilities, such as cardboard or paper mills, tend to be close together to minimize transportation costs.
Handling palletized paper is not much different from handling pallets of other types of products. Loads are prone to external damage, although they often shrink with wooden lids to protect goods when stacked on top of each other.
Using the right products and accessories, such as dual pallet fittings, load stabilizers, or sideways shifts, can help prevent damage while providing improved performance.
