Double Pillar Lifter

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring ingredients or products from floor level to processing machinery or hoppers.
• Loading mixers, blenders, or other processing vessels in food production.
• Elevating bins or containers for ergonomic emptying into packaging lines.
• Handling bulk materials in pharmaceutical or chemical manufacturing environments.
• Integrating into automated production lines for controlled material feeding.

Typical Specifications

Typical lifting capacity

For this class of equipment, lifting capacities commonly range from 500 kg to 1500 kg, depending on the specific model and design.

Maximum lift height

Units of this type typically offer lift heights between 1800 mm and 3000 mm, suitable for various industrial applications.

Power supply

Most industrial lifters require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying power ratings based on motor size.

Construction material

Often constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance, particularly in food and pharmaceutical sectors.

Footprint

The base footprint can vary, but double pillar designs typically require a stable floor area of approximately 1000 mm x 1500 mm, plus operational clearance.

Container compatibility

Designed to lift standard industrial bins, Eurobins, or custom containers, often with specific cradle or fork attachments.
