- Typical lifting capacity
- Units of this type commonly handle loads from 200 kg to over 1000 kg, depending on design.
- Typical lift height
- Commonly ranges from 1.5 metres to 4 metres, though custom designs can achieve greater heights.
- Power supply
- Typically requires a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Construction material
- Often constructed from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel for food and pharmaceutical applications, or mild steel for less stringent environments.
- Drive mechanism
- Chain-driven systems are common for robust and reliable lifting.
- Footprint
- Varies significantly based on lift height and capacity, but typically requires a floor area of 1.5m x 1.5m to 2.5m x 2.5m.
- Safety features
- Units commonly include fully enclosed guarding options, emergency stops, and interlocks.
