Monolithic precast structures, like manhole bases, catch basins and utility boxes, where the product walls and bases are cast together, create excellent product stability and durability but also come with a few production challenges. Namely, because the product is typically produced upside down and then rotated, the roll-over process can produce dangerous, uncontrollable swinging of the form. This violent swinging can become a major safety hazard, contribute to product and/or equipment damage and also slow down production as it may take several minutes for the product to come to a rest.

With SmartRoll, you control the roll-over process. Unlike traditional manual methods that utilize form trunnions and crane/hoists to flip the product, sometimes relying on sand piles or similar materials to cushion the roll-over, Afinitas offers an innovative, simple-to-use friction brake system to reduce roll-over speed and momentum. With swinging motions nearly eliminated, operations can be performed faster with fewer safety risks.

Take Control of Form Roll-Overs

• Decrease safety risks
• Reduce costs
• Speed up production with 90% less swinging motion

IMPORTANT: Always consider the dangers when lifting and rolling over product and equipment. Always inspect any lifting device for wear. Afinitas provides a detailed guide to performing safe roll-overs with our controller equipment.
