Meet the RollMate™
A compact, battery-powered roll mover built to take the heavy handling out of paper roll production and keep web operations moving. With 8.8-ton (17,600 lb) pushing capacity, unmatched torque, and tight-space maneuverability, RollMate sets a new standard for short-distance roll movement in roll staging and feeding areas.
Its ergonomic, pivoting tiller head rotates 200° around the machine, giving operators precise control in tight roll-staging and feeding areas. The adjustable handle and intuitive controls reduce strain, improve visibility, and keep operators in the safest working position.
Benefits of The RollMate
Built for heavy rolls, tight staging zones, and multi-shift use, RollMate helps one operator move rolls confidently while keeping production lines fed and on schedule.
Operator-Focused Safety & Control
Intuitive forward/reverse controls, an Emergency Belly Switch, and an offset operating position help improve visibility and reduce operator fatigue.
One-Operator Heavy Roll Handling
Handles 18"–100" roll diameters, from tissue to thick paperboard, moving loads up to 8.8 tons (17,600 lb) with a single operator.
Increases Plant Floor Productivity
Keep production moving with precise, controlled roll handling in tight spaces and seamless feeding of rolls into corrugators and paper lines.
Designed for Tight Spaces
An ergonomic tiller handle indexes 200º around the machine, giving precise control where roll access is limited.

Common Questions About The RollMate

RollMate is engineered for short-distance handling of heavy, cylindrical rolls where space is limited, and traditional equipment like forklifts and carts struggle to operate safely or efficiently. Its design improves control and productivity in roll staging and feeding areas.
RollMate delivers up to 17,600 lb (8.8 tons) of pushing force, suitable for corrugate, paperboard, print media and tissue rolls.
The 200° pivoting ergonomic tiller head allows operators to position themselves beside or behind the machine in the most effective stance, improving visibility, control precision, and reducing operator strain in tight areas.
In addition to reducing pinch points through tiller design and offset operating positions, RollMate includes an Emergency Belly Switch, adjustable handle, battery indicator, and automatic shutdown for low battery or inactivity.
RollMate uses sealed 24V battery power, eliminating air hoses or compressors. This reduces maintenance requirements and common failure points, and supports multi-shift use.

-
