Rhin-O-Tuff PAL-M Manual Pick-A-Lift
The Rhin-O-Tuff PAL-M is a manual paper separator designed to optimize lift thickness before punching. It ensures the correct number of sheets are picked up every time — eliminating guesswork, reducing jams, and improving punching efficiency by up to 50%.
Unlike the electric PAL-14, the PAL-M operates without electronics, making it a simple, durable, and cost-effective solution for production environments.
🔹 Why Use the PAL-M?
✔ Eliminates over-punching and paper jams
✔ Ensures consistent sheet lifts every cycle
✔ Boosts punching productivity up to 50%
✔ Makes inexperienced operators efficient instantly
✔ No power required — fully manual operation
🔹 How It Works
The PAL-M lifts the corner of a paper stack at a preset thickness, allowing operators to grab the exact same number of sheets every time.
This prevents:
Overloading the punch
Underloading lifts
Wasted time re-punching
Uneven hole quality
The result? Faster workflow and professional consistency.
🔹 Compatibility
The PAL-M integrates seamlessly with:
✔ Rhin-O-Tuff Vertical OD Series Punches
✔ Rhin-O-Tuff Vertical HD Series Punches
✔ APES (Automatic Paper Ejector & Stacker) System
✔ Optional mounting kit available
It can also be used stand-alone right out of the box.
