Every warehouse that handles paper, film, foil or nonwoven rolls already has a fleet of flat 800×1200 pallets. The problem is that a roll is round: on a flat deck it rolls away, the core gets crushed and the edges get damaged.
CONVERTO is ROLL's family of roll cradles that solves this with the pallets you already own. The cradle fits onto the pallet, the roll sits in the cradle, and your flat pallet becomes a roll pallet.
Why a flat pallet is not enough for rolls
On a flat pallet a roll has only one line of contact. The usual fixes are wooden wedges, tape or straps – slow to apply, different every time and not reusable. The result is always the same:
- the roll can move or roll off during handling;
- the core and the edges get damaged, and so does the material;
- buying a second fleet of dedicated roll pallets ties up money and space.

The video shows the problem, the three CONVERTO cradles, how they fit on wood and plastic pallets, and the ready-made roll pallets – with subtitles in English, Italian, French, Spanish and German.
How CONVERTO works
Each CONVERTO cradle has integrated skirts that wrap over the edge of the pallet deck, so the cradle is fitted onto the pallet, not just placed on it. It works on any 800×1200 pallet – a new wooden EUR/EPAL pallet or a plastic pallet – and it takes seconds, with no tools.
CV01 – two rolls or one big roll
CV01 is a thick rotational-moulded HDPE cradle. It holds 2 rolls on the 1200 mm side or 1 big roll on the 800 mm side: roll diameter up to 1100 mm, load up to 1500 kg, and the cradle itself weighs only 7 kg. It is also available in colour (CV01-C).
CV01b – step-free loading for big rolls
CV01b has no step: the operator rolls the roll on from the 1200 mm side, from a surface at the same height, and the roll seats itself in the centre. Add 2 KU04-570 wedges to lock rolls up to 1300 mm diameter and 1500 kg.
Empty CONVERTO cradles stack: the integrated rims keep the stack aligned, so they take little room in the warehouse and in the truck.
CV02 – wide V-shape for very big rolls
CV02 is injection-moulded with a wide V-shape for very big rolls: diameter up to 1400 mm, load up to 1200 kg. It is the most economical cradle of the family, from € 42 (list price, VAT excluded).
Two technologies, two price levels
CONVERTO cradles are made in two technologies, so you can choose between maximum strength and best value:
- Rotational moulding (CV01, CV01b): thick walls, certified virgin HDPE, available in other colours.
- Injection moulding (CV02): optimised walls, very good price-to-performance, for big rolls up to 1400 mm.
Ready-made roll pallets: 3 + 9 = 12 solutions
If you prefer a complete roll pallet, every CONVERTO cradle is also supplied ready-mounted on a ROLL base: PP69 (three steel bars, rack-ready – see RCV69), PPH1 (closed hygienic runners for clean rooms) and PP08 (nine feet, four-way). Three cradles plus nine ready-made roll pallets give you 12 solutions in one family.
