Why crews stop flipping boxes by hand.
Ease of use
One operator completes the entire operation from the seat of the forklift — no second set of hands, no ground crew.
Safety first
Keeps the operator on the forklift instead of wrestling boxes by hand. No smashed fingers, no shoulder and back strain.
Painless operation
Compressed air and gravity do the work. The Grappler handles the lift, the flip, and the set-down.
Versatile
Converts boxes to and from nested configuration with no machine adjustment between cycles.
Ready to go
Doesn't tie up a forklift. No forklift attachments and no machine modification required.
Thoughtfully designed
Efficient, simple design with minimal moving parts — less to maintain, less to break during season.
