Base Handling Ltd - Trolley Lift

• Lifting and tipping ingredients into mixers or hoppers in bakeries and food production.
• Transferring bulk materials from floor level to elevated processing equipment.
• Ergonomic loading of raw materials into processing lines, reducing manual handling.
• Emptying waste bins or containers into larger receptacles for disposal or recycling.
• Handling and positioning heavy components in manufacturing and assembly operations.

Typical capacity

Units of this type commonly handle loads from 100 kg to 500 kg, with some heavy-duty models exceeding 1000 kg.

Lifting height

For this model series (3360), a maximum lift height of approximately 3360 mm (3.36 metres) is indicated, suitable for various elevated discharge points.

Power supply

Typically electric, often 3-phase (e.g., 400V, 50Hz) for industrial applications, though single-phase options (e.g., 230V, 50Hz) can be found on smaller units.

Construction material

Commonly stainless steel for food-grade applications, or painted mild steel for general industrial use, ensuring durability and hygiene where required.

Footprint

The base footprint can vary significantly but is designed to be stable during lifting, typically requiring a clear area of 1.5m x 1.5m to 2m x 2m for operation and maintenance.

Trolley compatibility

Designed to interface with standard industrial trolleys or bins, often with specific locking mechanisms to ensure secure tipping.

Safety features

Units typically include emergency stop buttons, safety interlocks, and overload protection to ensure safe operation.

• What types of trolleys or bins can this lift accommodate?

  This model is likely designed for specific types of industrial trolleys or bins. Buyers should confirm compatibility with their existing equipment, often through dimensions or specific coupling mechanisms.

• Is this trolley lift suitable for food processing environments?

• What are the typical installation requirements for a trolley lift?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used trolley lift?

• Can the lifting height be adjusted?

Lifting and tipping equipment for food handling is valued for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Buyers typically prioritize robust construction, stainless steel components where applicable, and compliance with food safety standards. When purchasing used models, inspectors should assess mechanical wear, hydraulic system condition, and operational smoothness. Common strengths include longevity when properly maintained, efficient load handling, and adaptability to various food processing workflows. Equipment reputation generally remains strong provided previous maintenance records are documented and critical seals show minimal degradation.
