Industrial container and drum handling solution

Effortlessly maneuver and position heavy containers such as IBCs and drums with precision and safety, ensuring seamless integration into your production line for efficient material handling and reduced operator strain.

Lifts and Maneuvers Containers Safely

The Hanningfield Uni-Hoist series, including models like the HEM and HES, represents a versatile range of industrial hoists designed for precise container handling. These hoists excel with their stainless steel construction, ensuring durability and compliance with hygienic GMP environments. The Uni-Hoist systems efficiently lift, rotate, and dock containers such as IBCs and drums, reducing manual labor and enhancing safety in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and chemical processing.

With a choice between electric, pneumatic, and manual operations, these systems integrate seamlessly into production lines, offering flexibility for stationary and mobile setups. Their lifting capacity ranges from medium duty (SWL ≤ 750 kg) to heavy duty (SWL ≤ 2000 kg), suitable for varied industrial applications. Incorporating fail-safe mechanisms, these hoists prevent load slippage, ensuring reliable operation.

Customizable options include different arm attachments and power configurations, with ATEX versions available for explosive environments. The Uni-Hoist series also supports full validation documentation, making it an asset for industries demanding strict compliance and operational efficiency.
