Hi-Lo Retrokit Wickman
For Your Early and Late Model Wickmans
Optimize Your Early And Late-Model Wickman With New Logan Hi-Lo Retrokits!
New Logan Hi-Lo Retrokits for your early and late-model Wickmans increase your machines daily and weekly output from 10-20% - leaving you room for additional capacity, productivity and profitability.
Positive, fast-acting Logan Clutch engagement enables your Wickman to change speeds much faster, and provides a more consistent and accurate cycle time than conventional mechanical and electromagnetic clutches.
Simplifies Machine Set-up
Set-up personnel can position tools closer to the work piece, and reduce dwell time due to repeatable high and low-speed clutch engagement.
Guaranteed Cycle Time Repeatability
We replace your mechanical and electromagnetic actuated high-speed and feed clutches, brake, linkages, pins and lever arms with air-actuated, self-adjusting Logan clutches. By making the switch from mechanical or electromagnetic to Logan, you'll increase your machines, daily and weekly output significantly, through consistent and accurate speed changes and decreased maintenance.
Ideal for Bar Loaders
Our quick-stop power applied brake prevents coasting and provides accurate braking for
bar loader positioning during feed-out.
