What is the typical installation process for a pallet lift?

Pallet lifts are often supplied in sections for on-site assembly. They are typically bolted directly to the factory floor, negating the need for a pit, which simplifies installation and reduces civil works.

Are these units suitable for washdown environments?

Yes, units constructed from stainless steel with appropriate IP-rated components are designed to withstand regular washdown procedures common in food processing facilities.

What safety features should I expect on a pallet lift?

Expect features such as electrically interlocked doors, mechanical door locks, emergency stop buttons, and overload protection. Safety guarding to prevent access to moving parts is standard.

Can these lifts be integrated into existing production lines?

Yes, many pallet lifts are designed for seamless integration. They can be specified with various control options to interface with existing conveyor systems or automated material handling setups.

What maintenance is typically required for a pallet lift?

Routine maintenance typically involves inspection and lubrication of chains, sprockets, and bearings, along with checks of electrical components and safety interlocks. A planned preventative maintenance schedule is recommended.

PLM/2P/1000/4625/B/G Double Pillar Euro Pallet Lift

This Double Pillar Euro Pallet Lift has a Safe Working Load of 1000 Kgs and a lift height of 4625mm. The lifting platform will be big enough to allow a standard pallet (1200 x 1000 x 1700mm High) to be loaded using a hand pallet truck. At the upper level, there will be a landing plate to allow easy unloading. The Euro Pallet Lift will be manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel and is a welded construction throughout. The Euro Pallet Lift is designed to be bolted to the floor without the need for a pit. The lifting is accomplished via chains driven by a motor gearbox mounted at the top of the one column with a crossover shaft to the other column. The Euro Pallet Lift will be loaded from the front face and unloaded to the right hand side at the upper level. To assist in the installation of this lift, it will be made in three sections and finally assembled on site.

Safety Guard to BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards

The safety guard is constructed from 40 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 2.0mm stainless steel sheet to meet the guidelines of BS EN 14120:2015 Safety of Machinery Guards. This guard will reach to a height of 2200mm above the upper floor level, having a pair of hinged doors at each level through which the Euro Pallet Lift can be loaded and unloaded. Each door is electrically interlocked to prevent the Euro Pallet Lift being operated with a door open and in addition, the doors are mechanically locked closed whilst the Euro Pallet Lift is running. Each door may only be opened when the lifting carriage is at the appropriate level.

Euro Pallet Lift Electrical Control

This Euro Pallet Lift is fitted with an IP65 Stainless Steel Control Panel which is mounted on the safety guard at a convenient position to give good maintenance access under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulation 1998 (PUWER). The control panel incorporates the following controls; Cleaning Key Switch and a Reset Facility. There will be a remote Stainless Steel push button station at both the lower and upper level incorporating the following controls; Up, Down, Guard Release and Emergency Stop.

The Euro Pallet Lift operation is latched so that pressing the respective ‘Up’ or ‘Down’ push buttons once will raise or lower the lift to the other floor level. Each time the Lift Carriage activates the upper limit switch, an electrical actuator will be driven out underneath the lift carriage to support it while it is loaded. Before the lift can move again, the actuator will retract automatically once the down button is pressed.

Euro Pallet Lift Cleaning System

This cleaning system was fitted to the Euro Pallet Lift during manufacture to allow access to the floor beneath the lift carriage for cleaning. The cleaning system will operate as follows:-

The lift frame must be empty, at the full up position and the safety guard gate must be closed
At the full up position, the lift carriage is prevented from falling by a 50mm support bar driven out beneath the lift carriage using an electrical actuator
As the bar is engaged, it will alter the state of 2 off separate safety limit switches
The one switch will disable the Euro Pallet Lift safety circuit and relay
The second limit switch will allow the lower safety guard door to be opened providing that the Cleaning Key Switch has been operated
It is now safe to enter the lift enclosure for cleaning purposes with the Euro Pallet Lift disabled and the lift carriage supported
Once cleaning is complete, the above sequence is reversed

Typical context for this category of equipment. Always confirm specifics with the seller.

Applications & Use Cases

Elevating pallets of raw ingredients or finished products between different floor levels in food processing facilities.
Transferring goods from ground level to mezzanines or elevated platforms for further processing or storage.
Integrating into automated production lines for vertical movement of materials.
Loading and unloading bulk containers or bins onto elevated hoppers or mixers.
Facilitating ergonomic loading of packaging machinery or inspection stations at height.

Typical Specifications

Typical Safe Working Load (SWL): For this class of equipment, SWL commonly ranges from 500 kg to 2000 kg, designed for standard Euro or industrial pallets.
Maximum Lift Height: Units of this type typically offer lift heights from 2 metres up to 6 metres, depending on facility requirements.
Construction Material: Commonly manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance in food environments; Grade 316 is also found for more aggressive conditions.
Power Supply: Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with varying amperage depending on motor size.
Loading/Unloading Configuration: Can be configured for straight-through, 90-degree, or multi-directional loading and unloading at different levels.
Footprint: The base footprint is typically determined by the pallet size and safety clearances, often requiring a floor area of approximately 2m x 2m for a standard Euro pallet lift.
Safety Standards: Units are commonly designed to comply with BS EN 14120:2015 for safety of machinery guards and other relevant machinery directives.
