- Typical Safe Working Load (SWL)
- For this class of equipment, SWL commonly ranges from 500 kg to 2000 kg, with some heavy-duty units exceeding this.
- Typical Lift Height
- Units of this type commonly offer lift heights from 3 metres up to 10 metres or more, depending on application requirements.
- Platform Dimensions
- Platform sizes are typically designed to accommodate standard Euro or UK pallets, often around 1200mm x 1200mm or larger for specific loads.
- Construction Material
- Goods lifts for food processing are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Power Supply
- Commonly requires a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.
- Loading Configuration
- Units can feature straight-through, 'L' shape, or 'U' shape loading/unloading configurations to suit facility layouts.
- Safety Standards
- Expected to comply with relevant safety standards such as BS EN 14120:2015 for machinery guards and other applicable machinery directives.
- Installation Requirements
- Many units are designed for floor-mounted installation, potentially requiring a concrete plinth, and may need bracing to the building structure at upper levels.
