Pallet changer using clamping method
In the clamping method, the goods are firmly secured from two sides and then transferred from the source pallet to the destination pallet – the simplest and most cost-effective method of repalletizing. A prerequisite for this method is that the goods must be robust, pressure-resistant, and packed without gaps. Examples of such goods include cardboard boxes, beverage cartons, or crates. Pallet changer using clamping method are often used when pallet quality is poor.
Pallet exchange using the clamping method – the simplest method of palletizing is particularly suitable for robust goods.
Clamping method: The simplest option for changing pallets
A clamp-type pallet changer can be used as a stand-alone unit or integrated into a material flow system. The machine is loaded using a hand pallet truck or electric pallet jack. Side walls clamp the goods in place, and the pallet is then lowered using the pallet truck. Pallets can then be changed quickly and easily. In an integrated solution, the pallet exchange is carried out by conveyors with a lifting function. During the clamp-type pallet change, the goods are neither rotated nor tilted.
Pallet changer using clamping method
The clamping method is particularly suitable for pressure-resistant goods that are stacked flush and without gaps. This type of pallet changer is compelling due to its low price and ease of use. The clamping walls grip the stacked goods from two sides and secure them. The pallet is then lowered and extended, allowing it to be easily replaced with any other load carrier. This method is recommended for repalletizing robust goods such as cardboard boxes, beverage cartons, or crates. They are inserted and later removed using an electric pallet jack or hand pallet truck. Alternatively, pallet handling can be fully automated using a conveyor line.
The modern and robust pallet changers from Baust Material Flow Systems can perform up to 50 changes per hour. These changers can be easily integrated into fully automated material flow systems. Using the clamping mechanism, you can exchange any type of pallet: whether from Euro pallets to plastic pallets for hygiene applications, to space-saving Düsseldorf pallets in retail, or to disposable pallets for international transport – the Baust pallet changer gets the job done quickly and reliably.

Pallet changer PW 500 Inline
Are you looking for a cost-effective pallet changer for robust goods? Then we recommend the clamping method. With this method, the goods are securely fixed from two sides during pallet changes, while the pallet is lowered using a pallet truck or roller conveyor and then exchanged. Our clamping pallet changers can be used as freestanding, stand-alone units or integrated into material flow systems.
They can handle up to 50 pallet changes per hour. These cost-effective clamp pallet changers are particularly suitable for pallets of poor quality. They are ideal for goods in cartons or boxes, as well as any goods that are pressure-resistant and packed without gaps. The pallet's load height is irrelevant; the goods simply need to withstand the pressure of the side arms.
Space-saving and easy to use
The clamp-type pallet changer requires minimal space and is easy to operate. It is loaded using a hand pallet truck or electric pallet jack. By replacing inferior pallets, you avoid disruptions in subsequent workflows, especially in automated systems. In the food and pharmaceutical industries, high-quality pallets are often mandatory for hygiene reasons. With Baust clamp-type pallet changers, you can perform pallet changes quickly, efficiently, and without unnecessary space. Call us, and we'll recommend the pallet changer that perfectly matches your individual requirements!
Our models for your application
Pallet exchange using our clamping system saves you a lot of manual labor and ensures a quick and straightforward workflow. Our cost-effective PW 500 pallet changer, for example, is the ideal choice if you want to repalletize cartons or tightly packed boxes using the clamping method. It can handle loads up to 1000 kg and a maximum height of 2000 mm, including the pallet. The pallet changer measures 2100 x 3300 x 2300 mm and weighs 1500 kg. Between ten and 25 pallet exchanges per hour are achievable with this machine.
The PW 500 inline pallet changer
The PW 500 Inline can be integrated into fully automated material flow systems. This clamp-type pallet changer can easily handle 30 to 50 pallet changes per hour. With dimensions of 2300 x 3300 x 2800 mm and a machine weight of 2000 kg, it fits well into any fully automated system. The PW 500 Inline can process a total weight of 1000 kg and a height of 2000 mm, including the pallet. We also offer special versions with greater product heights, wider pallet widths, a hydraulic version, and hygienic side panels. This ensures you get the perfect model to meet your exact requirements!
