Choosing the right lifting equipment for your business may be puzzling at first, as there are many providers and pieces to choose from.
If you are scratching your head, wondering where to begin, allow us to provide you with some pertinent insight.
• Before making a purchase of any kind, you should list your expectations for use and capability, as well as any issues you need solved. Let’s say that simply lifting and dumping has proven to be an insufficient production-approach for your company. You may need a method of accurately positioning your product as it flows from the drum. In industries, like pharmaceuticals, merely tilting the drum and chute can result in extensive spillage. This is particularly true for operations that load tablets into a coater with a vertical port and deep baffles. Luckily, METO Systems sanitary drum manipulators are fitted with a patented cam-action lift and tilt, which means they can precisely place the discharge point inside the coater, while lifting the drum to the proper angle for discharge.
• Consider the environment in which you will be operating the equipment, including the spatial dimensions of the room and potential hazards or obstructions that might complicate processes. With this information in mind, you can more effectively search for and select an equipment piece that will fit and perform in your factory. For instance, use our stainless-steel stationary column lifts, installed in your facility, to move tools and equipment across with ease. Customized over the specific application, our METO Systems platform lifts come in varying sizes and can reach up to a height of 50ft. So, if you are working in expansive areas, where forklifts and freight elevators are undesirable, you can rely on machinery that provides safe lifting, with consistent positioning of sizable loads.
• Always ask yourself, “is there a machine available that can take on my tasks, no matter how big or small they may be?”. You should have an accurate idea of the range in weight and size of loads your new machinery will carry. For example, our drum lifter and tilters are constructed to handle heavy drums in the manufacturing unit efficiently. This not only reduces manual labor, but it also reduces any wastage due to spills and such. METO Systems provide drum inventor, lifter, and tilter with 3 different drives – Pneumatic, Electric, and Hydraulic. These tilters are very easy to install and operate. They are designed to handle drums of different sizes and are customizable.
• The Lifting Equipment you rely on should be sturdy and long-lasting. Consider METO Systems stainless-steel container positioners, which are designed to be secure, easy-to-use and reliable. They meet Industry standard for the transfer of powders/pellets/tablets, from either an IBC, FIBC or similar. Furnished with stainless-steel construction, unparalleled fabrication, and rugged dependability, these positioners can easily work with other METO Systems products to lift, transport, and discharge materials throughout your entire operation. In fact, all METO Systems equipment is designed for a lifetime of service and to run 24/7/365, with minimal routine maintenance required. METO Systems products meet all requirements for operator safety, as our technical department maintains a listing of specific state regulations to ensure compliance with applicable laws.
• When it comes to seeking heavy-duty equipment, you should prioritize quality over quantity; meaning that you should not settle for equipment solely because it is the cheapest or most convenient option. Instead, look for something that is straight-forward in design and elite in performance. For example, our Bulk Bag Column lifts, as with any other lifting equipment, is constructed as simply as possible, so as to minimize maintenance costs. Our products are fail-proof and consistent, meaning that they accomplish the task faultlessly, time after time again. When equipment performs its job without skipping a beat or creating wastage, your profits are maximized and so is your time.
