Abstract
A mobile skid turner for inverting skid loads of paper includes an H-shaped base frame portion with casters for facilitating movement in desired directions and opposing upright structural members at an intermediate location. A rotatable shaft facilitates the rotational inverting of the product. A first and second set of forks are included for engaging an underlying side of a skid pallet located under a product to be inverted and for engaging an overlying side of another skid pallet overlying the product to be inverted. Sensors and limit switches located on at least one member of each of the forks are included for stopping a clamping action of the forks at a predetermined clamping setting. The rotation action is power assisted. Controls are provided for selectively controlling the clamping action and the rotation action of the product.
