The Rolled Goods Manipulator (RGM), is a forklift assistance tool capable of handling, lifting, and manipulating heavy rolled materials such as commercial sheet Vinyl, Rubber, Composites, Plastics, Adhesives, Carpet, Films, Textiles and other similar products from a horizontal to a vertical position and vice-versa.
Originally designed for the flooring industry, this forklift attachment tool will benefit many other industries such as composites, paper, roofing, electrical, textiles and any industry that moves and stores heavy rolled goods.
Storing and transporting heavy rolled goods such as a commercial sheet vinyl, composite, fiberglass, insulation or rubber can be difficult. The rolled good is usually moved around the warehouse manually with dollies or by a stationary carpet pole which can only move the product while in a horizontal position. This process is not an efficient or cost effective way to move such goods. The RGM solves this problem by allowing the goods to be moved, manipulated and stored without touching the material.
The RGM and accessories will be manufactured and marketed by the Gundlach Company. Gundlach is located at 211 N 21st St, Belleville, IL 62222
and will ship the RGM and accessories world wide. Gundlach was established in 1927 in the asphalt shingle segment of construction and invented
the first shingle cutter. In 1930, that technology was transferred into the flooring industry, as flooring tiles were also made of asphalt.
So it was natural to provide the flooring industry their first floor cutters. From there the company grew into one of the largest providers of
Flooring tools in the world. With more than 3,000 point of sale locations in the US and over seas, the RGM will make its way into the market all over the world.
