STRATALIGN’S
LIFTING SYSTEMS: ROBUST AND
DURABLE SOLUTIONS
Workstation gantry’s,
jib and davit
cranes are unique
lifting devices
for industrial and manufacturing
environments.
The Erikkila ProSystem design
is very durable with its enclosed
profile design. The systems surface
is treated with impact resistant
powder coating or galvanised
finish is also available. Each system
is carefully designed to suit your
unique workshop size and shape
that can either be ceiling mounted
or freestanding.
Thern davit cranes provide lifting
solutions to water and wastewater
treatment plants. From lifting
submersible pumps and mixers, to
raising filter screens and positioning
REN256
hopper cars, Thern provides the
right equipment to get the job done.
Like all Stratalign products, they’re
made to meet the conditions of
their particular environment with
corrosion-resistant finishes in
powder coat paint, galvanised or
stainless steel construction.
Vacuum lifting is increasingly being
recognized as the ideal method
of lifting almost any item in a safe,
gentle and effective manner. Steel
sheets, timber panels, glass, bags/
sacks, cartons, drums, and every
other conceivable item, airtight or
porous, can be moved around the
production area single-handed with
ease.

AIR HOISTS
FOR SAFER AND RELIABLE LIFTING
Wherever tough or
hazardous operating
conditions place
excessive demands on lifting
operations, Profi series air hoists
from J D Neuhaus (JDN) rise to the
challenge. The JDN Profi range is
now deployed in applications that
range from chemical (including
pharmaceutical, paints and varnish),
foundries, and food and beverage,
to list but a few. In such industries,
the inherent design attributes of
Profi hoists are proven that they can
perform safe, high-performance and
cost-effective lifting and lowering
operations.
Profi air hoists are known for their
robust design, a characteristic that
makes them suitable for tough
industrial applications, even in
continuous working processes.
Safety features, such as 100% duty
rating and explosion protection
are an important advantage when
working in hazardous areas. In line
with customer requirements, various
control systems are available,
including remote controls, while for
traversing loads, different trolley
designs can be specified.
Put simply, Profi hoists excel in
places where safety is paramount.
After all, unlike electricity,
compressed air does not generate
sparks, while overload protection is
available and is often provided as
standard. What’s more, the chain
and hook are manufactured from
high-quality tempered steels with a
breaking strength some five times
the nominal load.
Carrying capacities from 250 kg to
100 tonnes can be accommodated
by Profi series air hoists, with 4 or
6 bar pressure compressed air. As
standard, sensitive, infinitely variable
speed control allows the precise
positioning of loads, a function that
is supported by frequent switching
and extended duty cycles. Simple
operation, sound absorption and
suitability for lube-free operation
are among further benefits of these
low-headroom, lightweight hoists.
Low maintenance is also a primary
attribute of the Profi series, which
is insensitive to dust, humidity
and temperature (from -20°C up
to +70°C). In addition, the chain
sprocket in the mid-section runs in
dustproof, maintenance-free ball
bearings, while the planetary gear,
which features teeth made from
tempered or hardened high-grade
steel, is lubricated with long-life
grease.
In sectors such as chemical
and pharmaceutical, Profi air
hoists lift and transport raw and
finished goods, as well as auxiliary
equipment such as submersible
pumps, big bags and mounting
tubes. Explosion-proof operation is
clearly paramount in such operating
environments. Here, Profi hoists
offer explosion protection as
standard, providing sensitive lifting
and lowering, complemented by
insensitivity to fumes and other
environmental influences.
In foundries, Profi hoists are
also proving their value. Foundry
tasks include transporting and
discharging ladles with liquid steel,
lifting and turning moulds, handling
cast parts on shaking grates, and
cleaning castings. Users of Profi
hoists in these tough operating
conditions benefit from insensitivity
to high temperatures and dust, as
well as high lifting and lowering
speeds, and 100% duty cycle.
The story of success is similar
in the food industry, for tasks
such as handling containers in
jam or marmalade factories. In
these applications, Profi air hoists
are insensitive to humid and/
or aggressive food production
environments, delivering careful,
yet reliable lifting and lowering, time
after time. Here, Profi hoists take
advantage of trolley wheels, chain
and hooks made of stainless steel.
