Heavy-duty lifting column HERCULES series

Product overview
HERCULES lifting columns are engineered for handling drums, containers and IBCs/Bins and for lifting or blending small machines such as pneumatic conveyors, mills and calibrators. Each unit integrates the certified Blocstop™ system to stop the lifting arm in case of failure. Available in mini, midi and maxi variants; a Mix version combines lifting and blending functions.

Highlights

• Easy maintenance: main motor located at the base for simplified access.
• Maximum safety: certified Blocstop™ to stop the lifting arm in case of failure.
• Overload prevention: optional load cell weighing system to stop overload.
• Easy cleaning: precise finishing for straightforward cleaning operations.

Invert. Blend. Adapt.
Equipped with dedicated holding systems, the HERCULES arm can invert drums with the Aries system and blend IBCs/Bins with the Trigon system. Manual or automatic rotation of the column body is available as an option.
