PDL-A
Rotating platform for double-sided loading of glass racks
The LiSEC PDL-A is a rotating platform for fast, uninterrupted loading and unloading of glass racks. It is designed for double-sided glass racks (A-racks, rotatable through 180°) that are loaded or unloaded automatically by robot. Industrial trucks are used to position and collect the racks. Optimum accessibility and a well-designed safety concept ensure ease of operation and efficient production processes.
How is the rotating platform designed?
The rotating platform is designed for double-sided glass racks (A-racks, rotatable through 180°) and enables both sides to be loaded and unloaded automatically. Two versions are available depending on the industrial truck used:
Standard version: The glass rack is positioned on the rotating platform and can be loaded and unloaded using a high-lift pallet truck or forklift truck.
Low-profile version: A recess in the substructure allows an industrial truck to travel beneath the rotating platform. This enables loading and unloading with virtually all standard industrial trucks, from manual pallet trucks to forklift trucks.
Who is the PDL-A suitable for?
The rotating platform is suitable for companies that want to load and unload glass racks quickly and without interruption. Combined with a LiSEC robot handling system, the PDL-A enables the highest possible level of automation in glass logistics.
What advantages does the system offer?
The PDL-A enables glass racks to be loaded and unloaded quickly and efficiently, supporting a continuous material flow. Uninterrupted rack changes minimise downtime and increase system availability. The well-designed construction provides optimum accessibility while maintaining a high level of occupational safety. Compatibility with standard industrial trucks and glass racks allows the rotating platform to be integrated flexibly into existing logistics processes. Combined with automated handling systems, it also enables a high degree of automation in glass logistics.

The Highlights
Uninterrupted rack changeover
Operation of the system is not interrupted by the removal of the filled glass transport racks. This ensures optimum utilisation of the system and enables the glass transport racks to be replaced quickly.
Compatible with standard glass racks
The PDL-A is designed for the dimensions of standard glass racks. Existing compatible glass racks can continue to be used.
