What type of racks can this lift accommodate?

This type of lift is typically designed to accommodate standard food processing racks or trolleys, often up to 1200mm wide x 1000mm deep x 1940mm high, allowing for loading via a pump truck.

Is a pit required for installation?

Many rack platform lifts are designed for floor-bolted installation, meaning a pit is often not required. Buyers should confirm specific installation requirements with the seller.

What safety features are typically included?

Common safety features include fixed guards, electrically interlocked hinged gates at loading/unloading points, and mechanical locks to prevent operation with doors open or opening doors during transit.

What is the typical maximum lifting height?

The lifting height for this class of equipment varies, but units are commonly designed for specific floor-to-floor height differences, which can range from a few hundred millimetres to several metres.

Is this equipment suitable for washdown environments?

Given the Grade 304 stainless steel construction and welded design, units of this type are generally suitable for washdown environments common in food processing. Specific IP ratings should be confirmed.

PLM/2P/1000/640/B/G Rack Platform Lift.

This Rack Platform Lift had a Safe Working Load of 1000 Kgs to raise a Rack (1200 Wide x 1000 Deep x 1940mm High) between floor levels with a height difference of 640mm.

The lifting platform was 1400 x 1300mm to allow a standard pump truck to load a Rack onto the lift carriage.

At the upper level, there was a landing plate to allow easy unloading.

The machine was manufactured from Grade 304 stainless steel and is a welded construction throughout.

The Rack Platform Lift was 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 Rack Platform Lift was supplied with fixed low level guards on each side to a height of 1100mm and hinged gates at the loading and unloading positions.

The safety guards were constructed from 40 x 40 x 3mm stainless steel box section and 2.0mm stainless steel sheet.

At each level, there was a hinged door through which the machine can be loaded and unloaded.

The doors are electrically interlocked to prevent the machine being operated with a door open and in addition, the doors are mechanically locked closed whilst the machine is running.

Each door may only be opened when the lifting carriage is at the appropriate level.
