Many production processes and logistics systems involve crates, boxes and containers that have to be moved from A to B. Since both the goods and the available space are usually too small for large and heavy forklift trucks, manual transport is often the only option. However, handling even lightweight crates can overstress the spines of the employees concerned.
Hovmand designs and manufactures lifters that provide effective and ergonomic solutions to this dilemma. With a lifter and a fork or platform tool, several boxes or Euro stacking containers can be lifted from pallets and transported to their destination. Individual crates and boxes can be conveniently lifted to working height or placed on a shelf using the lifter. To ensure compliance with all environments, we also offer forks and platforms made of 100% stainless steel, perfect for hygienic application.
Below you can read more about the specific challenges that arise when handling crates and boxes as well as the solutions we offer to solve these very same issues. In short, our lifters give you highly versatile configuration options with suitable elements from our modular system.
