Industrial container lifting system
Optimize your production line with a versatile lifting solution designed to safely handle and maneuver a wide range of bulk containers and materials, ensuring operational efficiency and ergonomics.

Lifts and Maneuvers Bulk Containers and Materials
The Hanningfield Uni-Hoist series offers fully customizable lift systems designed for industrial material handling across diverse sectors, including pharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries. Engineered to streamline processes, these hoists allow you to raise, lower, rotate, and invert Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs), drums, bins, and more with ease. Using a lead-screw or chain lifting mechanism, they ensure safe, repeatable operations in hygienic conditions, reducing energy consumption with manual, electric, and pneumatic models available.
Uni-Hoist systems cater to a variety of applications, from handling pharmaceutical powders to chemical reagents and cannabis products. The systems are designed to integrate seamlessly with your processing line, enabling precise maneuvering and efficient docking of materials, which optimizes workflow and enhances operator safety by eliminating the need for manual lifting.
Available in stainless steel construction suited for GMP environments, these hoists come with options for ATEX compliance, ensuring safe use in explosive atmospheres when required. The Uni-Hoist’s modular design features various attachments like lifting forks and clamp arms, making it adaptable to specific operational needs. The systems support capacities ranging from light-duty (250 kgs) to heavy-duty (2,000 kgs), compliant with industry standards for material handling. With thorough validation documentation available, these hoists represent a reliable, efficient solution for lifting and handling requirements.
