At Boschert, we listen to our customers. You have been telling us what you need in the work place and we have the solution! You need faster turn around time for the operator, less people required to load your Safety Chucks, and increased safety in handling rolls. The A Series offers double redundance safety. It has two back ups to protect the operator. Your Safety Chucks need the capacity, flexibility, and ingenuity to safely carry your operations into the next century. Boschert has the solution!

We started this series with the heavy duty Safety Chucks. Before, integrated pneumatic opening and closing was for light to medium rolls. It did not exist for heavier rolls. Available at this time are the 30-40, 40-50 and the 50-80 size Safety Chucks. They are identified respectively as the A 40, A 50, and A 80.
