SN-Line Vertical Lifts: Electric Lifters in Stainless Steel that Are Easy to Clean

The SN series represent our standard stainless steel vertical lifts for use in environments where keeping the lifter clean is very important.

All major exterior components, except wheels, are made of stainless steel (AISI 304) with a glass bead blasted surface.

The material handling lifts on this line are built with strong, durable and well-tested components which make these lifting machines an excellent choice for industries where working hours are long, perhaps constant, and the strain on the lifting equipment is considerable.

An SN-Lift Is for Grade D Cleanrooms and Other Environments with Medium-High Cleanliness Requirements

The electric lifters on the SN-Line are ideal for controlled environments that have medium-high requirements for cleanliness, but do not follow the strictest of cleanroom protocols. Thus they are ideal for usage in grade D cleanrooms.

Our SN vertical lifts are typically used in demanding industry sectors such as pharma, food and beverage, cosmetics and semiconductors.

The loads typically consist of production equipment or various vessels containing materials and ingredients for the manufacturing process. Thus the SN lift is often used to lift and transport everything from drums, barrels, rolls, boxes, containers and various specialized equipment.

Since this lifting solution most often does not operate in the manufacturing and production environment itself, it does not need to be explicitly water proof (IP65) or made in 316L stainless steel which is what we build our lifters in when they need to be used in highly corrosive environments.

A Strong, Water Resistant Lifter that Is Easy to Wipe Down

Except for the wheels, the lifting equipment of the SN-Line is built in strong components made in AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel which means that is has excellent corrosion resistance.

Furthermore lifters in the SN series have an IP rating of 31. IP stands for ‘ingress protection’. IP designates how resistant the steel surface is against solids (dust and dirt) and water. Stainless steel with IP31 can withstand vertically dripping water.

‘Translated’ to real life usage, this means it has a medium level of water protection which enables the SN lifting machines to be surface-cleaned with a wet cloth. They are thus water resistant, but not fully waterproof.

Our Modular Approach Ensures Exceptional Flexibility

All our lifting aids – and thus those on the SN-Line, too – are built on a modular concept. This means that we can easily mix and match our lifters with our standard lifter tools which is beneficial for keeping the price at a reasonable level.

Furthermore the design is built to be easily adaptable to custom-built solutions meaning we can easily adjust the two main parameters related to the lifter:

– The lifter itself – height of the lifting columns, length of the legs etc.
– The lifting tools – size and dimensions

If your load has very special dimensions we can also custom build from scratch.

Do Your Cleaning and Hygienic Requirements Exceed Those of the SN-Line?

If your work environment is subject to an even higher level of environmental control than that characteristic of grade D cleanrooms and / or the lifting machines need to be fully waterproof, we recommend taking a look at our SF-Line (for the food and beverage industry) or SP-Line (for the pharmaceutical industry).

The stainless steel vertical lifts in these series are built with an ingress protection of IP65 which means that they are dust tight and can resist flowing water – thus allowing for easy cleaning with a hose.
