Mini utility lifts or portable lifting trollies are an economical alternative to larger, more expensive lifts. They can lift heavy things and effortlessly transport them, eliminating many of the most hazardous elements associated with manual handling.
Here is a brief overview of three significant benefits of METO Systems’ MiniLIFT line.
Suitable for many types of loads and applications
Perfect for smaller-scale applications, these lifts are lightweight and portable for handling loads ranging from 100kg to 180kg, depending on the end effector needed. Multiple attachments and quick-change configurations make this a versatile performer. A wide range of configurations and attachments facilitate tasks ranging from simply elevating storage containers to grasping, lifting, and inverting process containers.
Excellent maneuverability and flexibility
The smaller footprint of mini utility lifts allows them to be used in tight spaces to position them as required without obstructing neighboring equipment such as high-shear mixers or process screening equipment. Perfect for material handling in areas where space is limited and materials may be hard to reach.
Reduces worker fatigue and improves ergonomics
Manual handling is exhausting; it reduces short-term productivity and is a common cause of serious injuries due to poor ergonomics. According to a Nation Safety Council[i] finding, one of the leading causes of work-related injuries and illnesses involving days away from work in 2020 was overexertion and bodily reaction. Our battery-operated and pneumatic MiniLIFTs effectively remove the demanding lifting elements from the equation. Creating a more ergonomic work environment improved employee health and productivity.
In summary
METO’s reliable budget-friendly mini utility lifts are designed for clean room operations and offer a robust yet economical lifting solution. They can be used for a variety of tasks at a cost well below that of their larger counterparts. Their ease of operation allows anyone to use them, enabling flexibility in the workforce.
