Employees still have to perform many heavy daily tasks in industrial companies. Containers are conveniently lifted, tilted, rotated, and transported using specialized lifting equipment. Lifting systems for material handling and transport not only protect workers from physical injuries, but also improve workflow efficiency.

Companies producing food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, or other chemical substances must handle a wide variety of drums loaded with different liquids or powders. These drums need to be tilted and emptied into equipment or filling lines throughout the manufacturing process.

Considering that a drum can weigh between 40 and 250 kilograms, such procedures can create serious challenges. For this reason, relying solely on manual labor is impossible without violating general health and safety regulations. Lifting and moving drums and large containers can have a long-term negative impact on workers’ physical health. Fortunately, transport systems specifically designed for moving containers weighing up to 250 kg can protect employees while speeding up production. These drum lifting devices can safely and efficiently perform a variety of operations when used together with specific tools and accessories. A container lifting system will greatly simplify daily tasks, whether you need to handle plastic, steel, or wooden drums and containers filled with wine, beer, oil, spices, and more.

The practical method for handling and moving large containers is with Hovmand electric lifts.

HOW TO SAFELY LIFT AND TRANSPORT A HEAVY CONTAINER WITH HOVMAND?
Different types of drums are usually stored on pallets. You can load these pallets with a mobile lift, use an electric clamp to grip the drum, and then lift it. The operator is not exposed to any physical strain during this process, as a simple remote control manages the gripping and lifting movements. The entire process of picking up, lifting, and transferring drums is handled by the lift. Once secured by the gripping device, the container can easily be moved to the designated area. As a result, the lift transports, raises, and rotates the containers.

ELECTRIC LIFTS MAKE EMPTYING CONTAINERS EASY EVEN AT HEIGHT
With automatic container handling lifts, emptying containers at height is no longer a problem. In many situations, it is necessary to empty the contents of containers into elevated equipment. However, production areas often do not provide enough space for carrying out such activities. A full container can be rotated or tilted using equipment such as an electric lift or a rotating system, allowing the contents to be discharged from considerable heights. The term “rotating system” is used to describe devices designed for tilting containers.

To move the container to the required location and pour out its contents, you can use the lifting device — an electric lift configured for transport, lifting, and rotation. For example, moving, rotating, and tilting a drum into a drainage tray is simple thanks to the integrated functions of the electric lift.

Containers are manufactured from a variety of materials and come in different sizes. Likewise, factories must comply with different safety and hygiene standards. Extremely strict procedures must be followed when processing hazardous substances or pharmaceuticals.

The use of stainless steel containers is often required by relevant health and safety regulations. These containers must also be transported with extreme care. For handling such containers, electric lifts and container supports made entirely from stainless steel are the ideal solution.
