The Top Tier line of palletizers is designed to provide a fully automatic palletizer with a cost and size suitable for placement at the end of a production line. Available in the high product infeed tower and the low product infeed end of line models, the palletizers open opportunities for automating palletizing because existing technology has been too big and/or too expensive for most applications.

The tower model requires only 30 ft2. The End of Line model requires 65 ft2. Either palletizer can unitize 20-30 cases per minute, depending on the layer configuration. Both base prices are for fully automatic palletizers with industrial grade materials and controls designed for years of service.

The palletizers have simplified maintenance and ease of installation. Either palletizer model ships fully assembled, allowing the palletizer to be installed and begin production in less than a day. Maintenance to the company's standard power transmission component based design requires limited expertise and standard hand tools. The controls are based on and Allen Bradley SLC 500 controller, which includes an operator touch keypad with programmable buttons for all manual and automatic operations. The keypad allows an operator to easily program a new pallet pattern with supplied software.

In addition, Top Tier technology can be configured into high speed palletizers and multi-palletizer systems. Several layout options are available to construct multi-line systems at a lower cost and in less space than robot or competitive palletizer technology. The company can also increase the throughput of the standard palletizers to 30 or 40 cases per minute, depending on layer pattern using a pre-build table.

The table is mounted externally at the infeed level of the Tower palletizer. The low product infeed End of Line palletizer had an internal layer pre-build table. The pre-build table is mounted externally at the infeed level of the Tower palletizer. The low product infeed End of Line palletizer has an internal layer pre-build table called Hot Swap that increases throughput without an increase in footprint.
