Understanding the Different Types of Lifting Equipment

Lifting equipment is designed to handle heavyweight and delicate goods with the utmost care and precision. Whether you’re working in an industrial environment or an office-based one, it’s essential that you use lifting equipment if you’re looking to move and handle large and fragile items. Ultimately, the right lifting equipment will improve the safety of employees by removing manual handling and it also has the added benefit of increasing efficiency.

Below, the Cherry Picker team has written an informative post that explores the various types of lifting equipment that can be used. Read on to learn more about, and if you’d like to make an inquiry about our lifting equipment of the highest quality, please contact us via the details below. 

Stackers

Stackers are typically used in warehouse environments where lots of heavy items need to be safely lifted to and from storage areas. They come in both light duty and heavy duty solutions, so whatever your individual stacking needs, the exact stacker is available. 

All in all, stackers maximise safety and productivity, reducing injuries and damage in commercial and industrial settings. Stackers can also be custom-designed to suit environments where ground space is particularly limited. 

Goods Lifts

Goods lifts are designed to make it easier to move and transfer goods from a ground floor to a mezzanine floor, or second floor. These types of lifts come in various sizes ranging from smaller goods lifts to larger mezzanine goods lifts that are capable of lifting much heavier items. 

In addition to this, mesh cages can be fitted to goods lifts to prevent materials from falling and causing damage during the lifting process. If you’re moving items up to the mezzanine floor, a goods lift can be modified to provide greater protection and safety. 

Scissor Lift Tables

Scissor lift tables are ideal for positioning loads at different locations and heights. They’re a popular type of aerial platform lift that is commonly used in manufacturing and industrial environments. Using a mobile scissor lift table will optimise safety and productivity in your workspace, as your workers will be able to move and lift at various heights – with ease. 

Scissor lift tables come in an array of sizes from smaller options to larger options. Furthermore, if extra safety is required, mesh cages or bellows can be installed underneath the platform to lower the risk of personal injuries or damage. 

Server Lifting

Server lifts are designed to be used by clients working in data centre environments. In essence, these types of lifts are used to improve on-site safety and productivity when individuals are working with heavy and valuable server modules. 

If you need to regularly transfer server modules in and out of your storage racking, then a server lift is a necessity. Roller platforms can also be added to server lifts to ensure smoother user experience, and to decrease the impact on the material being lifted.
