Pharmaceutical Drum Lift: Uni-Hoist HPM (Hoist Pneumatic Mobile)
The Hanningfield Uni-Hoist HPM (Hoist Pneumatic Mobile) is a portable, air-operated lifting device for the handling of containers, drums, IBCs etc. The maximum SWL (safe working load) of the Uni-Hoist HPM is 250kg.
For portability, the hoist and panel are mounted to a stainless steel frame with 4 x non-marking, anti-static castors (2 x swivel, 2 x swivel and brake). This enables the hoist to be used in multiple process rooms, requiring only a compressed air supply in order to operate.
An under-slung pneumatic motor is used to drive the lifting mechanism (lead screw or chain). The motor and gearbox has a removable cover for ease of maintenance. The hoist can be supplied with variable speed air-motor and control system for fast and slow lifting. Slow lifting is designed to be used for the accurate docking of the load, with improved accuracy for positioning and manoeuvring. The hoist can be supplied with limit switches to prevent over-travel. The intrinsically safe nature of air devices make them perfect for applications Ex-rated areas.
As standard, the hoist column and mobile frame are manufactured from 304 stainless steel (1.4301), with all exposed materials manufactured from FDA compliant materials such as polyacetal. External surfaces (including welds) are finished to 150 grit (Ra)
