PARA CRAB® System

Efficient Roll Delivery for Your Operation

Improve Efficiency with Automatic Roll Delivery

The CRAB® System offers a tailored solution to enhance roll delivery in the corrugated manufacturing process. Eliminates the need for a clamp truck driver to race up and down the operator side of your corrugator to deliver rolls. This greatly reduces the risk of personnel injury and damage to the paper reels. The CRAB® will interface with your ERP to automatically deliver and even take away rolls. Every time the CRAB® handles the paper reel, it will update the ERP with the linear feet of paper remaining on the roll. When the CRAB® is down for maintenance, a clamp truck can still be used to deliver the paper reels.
