In the industrial sector, lifting accessories play a key role in ensuring safe and efficient handling of materials. Lifting equipment is equipment and tools designed to facilitate and enhance the lifting and transfer of various loads. The correct selection and use of these tools can significantly improve the flow and safety of production. In this article, we will discuss the importance of lifting accessories in industry and present the different solutions offered by Hefmec.
The importance of lifting equipment in industry
Lifting equipment is essential in various sectors of industry, such as manufacturing, logistics and construction. They allow safe and efficient handling of heavy and large objects, reducing the need for manual work and minimising the risk of accidents. Correctly selected and used lifting equipment can also improve production efficiency and reduce downtime.
Industrial needs vary widely, and therefore several factors such as the weight, shape and lifting height of the load to be lifted must be taken into account when selecting lifting equipment. Hefmec offers a wide range of lifting accessories designed to meet the different needs of the industry. All our products are CE marked and comply with the Machinery Directive and the national regulations of the country of destination.
Various lifting accessories
There are many different types of lifting equipment and the choice depends on the characteristics of the object to be lifted and the requirements of the lifting situation. One of the most common lifting accessories is the ring grab, which allows safe and stable lifting of different shaped objects. They have several lifting points and, thanks to the quick-locking mechanism of their lifting jaws, the jaws can be quickly changed to suit different objects.
Another common lifting tool is the lifting scissors, which are particularly suitable for lifting round objects such as large bearings or annular objects. Lifting scissors have the advantage of a form-locking and self-tightening grip, which ensures safe lifting. The quick release of the lifting jaws of the scissors allows the jaws to be changed or rotated, allowing lifting from inside or outside the workpiece.
Lifting beams and lifting frames
Lifting beams and lifting frames are also important lifting aids in industry. Lifting beams, such as adjustable lifting beams, provide an efficient and versatile solution for lifting and moving different types of objects. In the adjustable versions, the mobility of the lifting points allows products of different sizes to be lifted with a single tool, increasing production flexibility and efficiency.
Lifting frames, on the other hand, allow you to lift objects of different sizes and shapes safely and in the correct position. Several suspension points and an adjustable lifting wheel allow off-centre objects to be lifted accurately in a horizontal or vertical position. This makes the lifting frames an excellent choice when flexibility and precision are required in lifting situations.
Safety and compliance
Safety is of paramount importance when using lifting equipment. All lifting accessories supplied by Hefmec are CE marked and comply with the Machinery Directive and the national regulations of the country of destination. This ensures that our products are safe and compliant. The delivery also includes instructions for use and maintenance, a declaration of conformity and an inspection report.
In addition, Hefmec offers a lifetime guarantee against design, material and manufacturing defects in load-bearing structures. This warranty covers the design life of the products, giving our customers peace of mind and assurance that the lifting equipment they use is reliable and durable.
Summary
Lifting equipment is indispensable in various sectors of industry, and its correct selection and use can significantly improve production flow and safety. Hefmec offers a wide range of lifting equipment designed to meet the different needs of industry.
