Hoists, Cranes and Column Lifters
Raising a loaded bin, drum or bowl to the rim of a vessel or the edge of a mezzanine is a job for a machine, not two operators and a strap. Hoists, cranes and column lifters raise containers vertically on a fixed or mobile column and hold them at discharge height, while access gantries and walkway platforms put people safely above the line. Machinery Masters lists tote bin hoists from builders such as Syspal and Scaniro, column and pillar hoists, drum hoists and stainless steel gantries from verified sellers. You contact the seller directly and can apply for financing on qualifying listings.

Hoists, Cranes and Column Lifters Product Types
Machines here are defined by what they raise, how high they lift it and whether they are fixed to the floor or mobile.
Tote bin hoists
Fixed and mobile hoists that raise 200-litre tote bins to discharge height over mixers and hoppers, from makers including Syspal, Scaniro and Orbmix. Stainless builds suit washdown areas.
Column lifters and pillar hoists
Single-column machines that lift bins, bowls and troughs vertically on a mast, available guarded for interlocked production areas. Specified by safe working load and lift height.
Drum and wheelie bin hoists
Hoists that raise and tip drums and wheelie bins into vessels and hoppers, removing manual handling at heights a floor-level tipper cannot reach.
Mobile hoists
Castor-mounted units that move between discharge points, useful where several vessels share one hoist. Check floor condition and brake arrangement for the loads involved.
Access gantries and walkways
Stainless steel gantries, stairs with viewing platforms and walkway sections that give operators safe access over lines and vessels. Sold in sections and as complete platforms.

Why Choose Machinery Masters
Verified Sellers Only
Every seller is verified before a single listing goes live. Machinery Masters also reviews listings for accuracy, so buyers can commit to high value machinery with confidence.
Global Reach
Listings come from sellers across Europe, North America, and beyond. That reach widens the options past any regional dealer network, and it is often the only way to find discontinued models in good condition.
Flexible Financing Options
Qualifying listings carry financing through partner providers. Terms are shown directly on eligible product pages, spreading the cost instead of draining working capital in one hit.
Direct Seller Contact
No broker sits between the buyer and the seller. Ask about service history, arrange inspections, and negotiate directly with the person who actually knows the machine.
Applications and Uses
Hoists and column lifters work wherever a container must discharge above head height or an operator must work safely above the floor.
Process plants charging vessels
Tote bin and bowl hoists raise containers to the rim of mixers and tanks, discharging at a controlled angle instead of manual tipping from steps.
Drum handling in plant rooms and stores
Drum hoists lift 205-litre drums for decanting and rack storage, keeping the load on the machine rather than on two operators.
Line access and inspection
Gantries and stairs with viewing platforms give maintenance and quality staff a fixed, guard-railed position above conveyors and vessels.
Waste handling at height
Wheelie bin hoists discharge into compactor and hopper openings set above the reach of a standard floor tipper.
Benefits from Machinery Masters
The marketplace puts fixed, mobile and specialist hoists from multiple sellers in one comparison.
01
Fixed and mobile options side by side
Column lifters, mobile hoists and gantries from several verified sellers appear in one search, so you can weigh a fixed installation against a mobile unit on price and fit.
02
Shortlist on SWL and lift height
Listings carry the figures that decide a hoist purchase, safe working load and discharge height, so you only call sellers about machines that already fit the duty.
03
Direct contact before you commit
Sellers can confirm examination history, carriage type and electrical supply, and many will demonstrate the hoist under load before you buy.
Frequently Asked Questions About Hoists, Cranes and Column Lifters
Start with three numbers: the gross weight of your heaviest loaded container, the height of the discharge point, and the container pattern the carriage must accept, such as a DIN 9797 tote bin or a 205-litre drum. A hoist that matches two of the three is the wrong machine. Send all three to the seller with your enquiry.
Yes. A hoist is lifting equipment under LOLER 1998, so it needs a thorough examination by a competent person before first use on your site and then at least every twelve months, or six if it lifts people. Ask the seller for the latest examination report and factor the first examination into your commissioning plan.
A fixed column lifter suits one discharge point in continuous use and is easier to guard and interlock. A mobile hoist serves several vessels but depends on level floors, good castors and operator discipline with the brakes. If the hoist will feed more than two or three points a day, mobility usually wins; otherwise fix it.
Check the structure before the finish: look for cracked welds at post-to-beam joints, distortion in treads and handrails, and corrosion where fixings meet the floor. Confirm the platform's rated loading and that handrail heights meet your site standard. Measure your available footprint, as gantries are sold to fit the line they came off.
Yes, if it is built for it. Look for stainless steel construction, sealed or lifted electrical enclosures and hygienic design details such as sloped surfaces and open channel frames. A painted mild steel hoist will corrode quickly under daily washdown. Ask the seller what environment the machine previously ran in and inspect for existing corrosion.
