RWA 1000 Elmo This Roemheld changing cart can transport injection molds weighing up to about 2,205 pounds. Both the drive system and the lifting function are fully electric; a battery-powered motor moves the cart at speeds of up to 2.5 miles per hour, and the double scissor lift raises the load electro-hydraulically to table heights between about 24 inches and 58.5 inches. The stainless steel roller table accommodates molds measuring up to 39.4 inches by 27.6 inches; with a lateral overhang, dimensions of up to 39.4 inches by 35.4 inches are possible. Molds are secured by adjustable locking bars and side rails, and a safety docking rail ensures the correct insertion height. The changeover table is available in five versions, including models with lowerable rollers or a swiveling bridge.
What’s new? The RWA 1000 Elmo, debuting at Fakuma 2026.
Benefits Safe, all-electric lifting, lowering and transport of molds without physical strain on operators.
