Conveyor systems are the backbone of many industrial and warehouse operations. They keep productivity high, minimize manual labor, and maintain a smooth workflow. But when a conveyor gets jammed—whether at a gate or along the belt—operations grind to a halt, leading to costly downtime, safety risks, and frustrated staff. That’s where a reliable jam breaker like the Reacher Liberator becomes not just a tool, but a necessity.
The Cost of a Jam
A conveyor jam may seem minor at first, but the ripple effects can be significant. Each minute of downtime can translate to lost revenue, delayed shipping, and even canceled orders. More importantly, workers attempting to manually clear jams are at higher risk for injury, especially when using makeshift tools or climbing onto machinery.
The Smarter Solution: Reacher Liberator
Enter the Reacher Liberator Jam Breaker and Reach Pole, available in 5′ and 10′ lengths. Designed to prevent these costly and dangerous situations, this tool helps operators quickly and safely reach jammed items and restore the system’s flow.
Key Features:
- Versatile Lengths: Comes in two models— 5-foot and 10-foot; perfect for reaching across or into tight conveyor sections.
- Heavy-Duty Head: Fitted with a 4″ x 4″ glass/ABS reinforced, pie-shaped pull end that securely moves boxes or parcels without damage.
- Segmented Stainless Steel Design: Made with 1″ diameter stainless steel tubes that screw together, providing strength and customization. Add or remove segments to suit your operational needs.
- Space-Saving Storage: Hang from either end using the built-in hook or handle hole.
- Push/Pull Capacity: The 5′ model handles up to 60 lbs. push or pull, while the 10′ model can pull 60 lbs. and push 30 lbs.
Operational Advantages
The Reacher Liberator’s segmented design doesn’t just save money on shipping—it empowers operators to adjust lengths on the fly, making it ideal for multi-zone operations or conveyor systems with varied clearance.
Safety First
Using the right tool significantly reduces the risk of injury. The Reacher Liberator lets workers maintain a safe distance from moving parts while restoring flow efficiently. This leads to a safer workspace and fewer workers’ comp claims.
Designed for Affordable Shipping
Traditional jam breakers are often long, one-piece poles that incur high freight charges due to their size. The Reacher Liberator solves this problem with a modular, screw-together design. By breaking the pole into 15″ segments, we’ve eliminated the need for oversized shipping, allowing the entire unit to be packaged compactly. This innovative approach means significantly lower shipping costs for customers and more flexibility in inventory and storage.
Not only does this save money, but it also allows distributors and end users alike to receive the product faster and at a fraction of the freight expense associated with fixed-length tools.
Final Thoughts
In high-efficiency environments, every second counts. The Reacher Liberator Jam Breaker offers an affordable, durable, and practical solution to a common problem. Reduce downtime, improve safety, and maintain control of your workflow with this essential tool.
