Depalletizers & Machinery for Petroleum Packaging Lines
Plastic, steel and other metal petroleum and automotive containers
Depalletizers and Production Line Equipment for the Automotive Industry
Petroleum and automotive manufacturers work with heavy containers filled with oils, lubricants and other products that require the most reliable handling equipment. These facilities process everything from small bottles of motor oil to large jugs of industrial lubricants, often dealing with containers that are heavier and more challenging to move than typical packaging. Dependable equipment is critical for filling and packaging containers efficiently without sacrificing accuracy or quality.
At Ska Fabricating, we have experience working with petroleum and automotive manufacturers facing these challenges. We understand the manufacturing and packaging processes and the importance of equipment that can withstand the daily demands of processing oils, greases and automotive fluids. Our solutions help businesses streamline their operations while promoting worker safety and helping to maintain production schedules.
Moving your petroleum containers requires the utmost care.
Plastic and metal containers come in various shapes and sizes, and we have experience working with many of them used in the petroleum industry. Ska Fab offers both automatic and manual depalletizing systems, which are ideal for unloading these containers. Let us demonstrate how Ska Fab can enhance your operations.
Automatic Depalletizers and Palletizers
Ska Fab offers automatic depalletizers designed for efficiently unloading bulk layered pallets. The HHA 5000 and FHA 3000 depalletizers feature a lift and sweep assembly that helps to ensure smooth and continuous production.
The FHP bulk palletizer system is designed to prepare pallets of empty plastic containers or aluminum cans. The unit is configured to handle the range of container/can sizes and the speed of your line.
Manual Depalletizers and Palletizers
Ska Fab specializes in manual depalletizers designed to efficiently unload bulk pallets. The depalletizers feature a user-friendly operator pendant that precisely controls lifting and lowering movements, ensuring safe and effective container unloading.
The manual tilt palletizer makes palletizing operations simple, efficient, and ergonomically friendly. Easily operated controls adjust the unit to an optimal loading angle and height, ensuring a consistent and safe palletized stack, one layer at a time.
Conveyance Options
Ska Fab offers a wide range of conveyance solutions designed to meet your specific speed and space requirements. We understand that each operation has its own unique challenges and demands, which is why we take the time to thoroughly assess your needs and collaborate closely with you to explore all available options.

4 things to consider when looking for a depalletizer
When selecting a depalletizer, several key factors must be considered: speed, space, pallet weight, and budget. These factors will help us determine what machine will effectively meet the specific requirements of the job at hand.
Meeting the speeds of your filler is a priority. Adding the proper conveyance can shave off precious time. Once we know your requirements, we can suggest options such as:
- Pallet-loading conveyors and pallet stackers to speed up pallet changeovers.
- Extended accumulation tables to allow for additional layers of containers to be loaded to keep feeding the filler during pallet changeover.
Several important factors must be considered regarding the plant layout. Are your floors level? Will we need to go through any walls? What is the height of your ceiling?
Once we gather all the necessary information, we can get creative with the layout to propose a solution that fits your space – no matter how small.
Ska Fab offers a range of innovative depalletizers designed to efficiently unload pallets weighing up to 4,000 pounds. The FHA 5000 and HHA 5000 ensure that even the heaviest loads can be managed smoothly, minimizing downtime and increasing productivity in your operations. If your needs involve pallets containing lighter materials, such as cans or plastics, we are happy to discuss alternative solutions.
It is important for us to discuss the budget at the outset of our planning process. By establishing a clear financial framework from the beginning, we can help to ensure that all decisions align with your project. We focus on what matters most—equipment that helps you achieve the results you’re after.
