The importance of lifting equipment in industry
Lifting equipment plays a key role in industrial production processes. They allow heavy and large pieces to be moved safely and efficiently, improving work efficiency and reducing the need for manual labour. Safety-enhancing lifting accessories are particularly important as they reduce the risk of accidents and ensure that lifting operations run smoothly and without incident.
Industrial lifting equipment, such as lifting beams, cradles and scissors, are designed to withstand demanding conditions and heavy loads. These tools can handle a variety of different pieces, making them versatile and flexible solutions for different lifting needs. The lifting accessories offered by Hefmec are CE marked and come with a lifetime warranty, guaranteeing their quality and safety.
Safety is always a top priority in industrial lifting. Correctly selected and used lifting equipment reduces the physical strain on workers and improves work ergonomics. This not only improves the well-being of workers, but also increases production efficiency and quality.
Various lifting aids to improve safety
The industry uses a wide range of lifting equipment designed to improve safety and efficiency. One of the most common tools is the lifting beam, which allows lifting objects of different sizes and shapes safely. Fixed lifting points eliminate the need to adjust the lifting equipment to different loads, speeding up the lifting process and reducing the possibility of errors.
Frame holders are another important lifting tool, which allows lifting pieces from the inside or outside of the frame. Frame holders are particularly useful in areas where height poses a challenge for lifting. They provide a secure and firm grip on objects of different shapes, thus reducing the risks involved in the lifting operation.
Lifting scissors are the third example of safety-enhancing lifting aids. They are particularly suitable for lifting round objects such as large bearings or annular objects. The advantage of scissors is their versatility, as the same tool can be used to lift different types of objects safely and efficiently.
Choosing lifting equipment: what to consider?
When choosing lifting equipment, it is important to take several factors into account to ensure its suitability and safety. The first step is to assess the size, shape and weight of the objects to be lifted. This will help determine which lifting equipment is the best choice for the task in hand.
Another important factor is the working environment. For example, the height of the space and the frequency of the lifting operation will influence the most suitable lifting equipment. Ring grabs are a good choice for spaces where height is a limiting factor, while lifting beams are more suitable for spaces where the objects to be lifted are standardised and uniform.
The third factor to consider is safety requirements. Lifting equipment must comply with the Machinery Directive or the national regulations of the country of destination. Hefmec lifting equipment is CE marked and comes with a lifetime guarantee, ensuring compliance and safety.
