Using bridge cranes with fabric slings or wire chokers to turn 15-ton polished cylinder liners created severe slipping hazards, bore ovality deformation, and mirror-finish scuffing. To eliminate high-risk crane flipping, the Gradin engineering team engineered an automated 15-Ton Hydraulic Tilting Machine. The installation integrates an Automated Motorized Roller Positioning Bed lined with 10mm Polyurethane Protective Lining and secured by an active Hydraulic Mechanical Clamping Arm. Manufactured in full compliance with the ISO 12100 Safety Standard for heavy industrial machinery , CSSC engineers integrated this Gradin turnover system alongside our portfolio of custom industrial upenders and mechanical tilters  to establish a damage-free, automated marine engine assembly workflow.
