These loaders consist of multiple stations of forward-sloping, plastic-covered storage arms with coordinated adjustable end stops for loading different material diameters. Pneumatic or hydraulic cylinders raise lifting arms which allow one piece to roll onto the input conveyor while holding back the rest of the pieces. The machine can be started automatically or by push button (with optional Model 86 Controller).

The loaders come in “Standard Duty” (219), “Heavy Duty” (219H) and “Extra Heavy Duty” (219K) models for pieces of 40, 55, and 100 lbs/ft (60, 80 and 150 kg/m) respectively.

Also available is the 219B for flat-sided materials that utilizes a motor-driven belt to feed material to lifting arms for placement on the idler conveyor.
