The Ska Fabricating S and Z-Grip lowerators are an efficient way to safety decline your glass bottles/jars, plastic containers, aluminum and steel cans from high elevations. The small footprint saves valuable floor space and the tool-less adjustability makes line changeovers quick and easy. Elevation heights for containers entering side-grip (top) and discharging (bottom) are built to customer specifications. S-grip lowerators feature an ionized air rinse system. 

Ska Fab offers mini s and z-grip lowerators for aluminum cans. We also offer an S & Z-Grip adjustable (width) and fully adjustable (width and height) option for glass, plastic, and metal containers.

Mini S and Z-Grip Lowerator

The mini S and Z-grip lowerators are designed to lower cans from the height of a depalletizer to the line level. The width of the side grips can be adjusted to accommodate various can sizes, including slim, sleek, standard, and stubby cans.

The mini S-grip lowerator includes an ionized air rinse system that cleans the cans as they descend.
