Cradle Caddy and Shear for Flexible Duct Connector

FDCAB4 Connector Dispenser

Independent rollers keeps from having to chain up rolls not in use. Holds up to three rolls of 4x4x4 Connector

The Cradle Caddy keeps up to three rolls of Flexible Duct Connector or Vane Rail within easy reach, anywhere in the shop. Full swivel casters make movement around the shop possible, and ball bearing rollers quickly dispense connector with a simple pull. A foot actuated brake locks the Cradle Caddy in place when dispensing the connector. The shear attachment cuts the duct connector accurately and effortlessly. 

The cradle portion of this two operation machine is effective at removing any coilset/flatness issues occasionally encountered on the metal sleeves of the flex connector. 

For Smaller shops with limited space, this machine allows them to load three rolls of various connector in the cradle thereby avoiding pulling it out from wherever it’s stored. The heavy duty wheels allow it to be easily moved around the shop as well. 

Besides a savings in shop labor, the Shear allows for a nice clean cut every time with next to zero effort. 

Shops will typically stand the box upright, cut off the top, and pull the material from the box to the work table
