We Put a Lot of Thought into the Choice of Material in and on the Lifting Tools

When you choose a handling equipment solution from 2Lift, one of our top priorities is ensuring that the materials used in the lifting tools are perfectly suited to your working environment and situation. Therefore, as standard practice, all our tools are made of stainless steel, regardless of the steel alloy used in the lifting device.

The reason for this is that stainless steel does not require surface treatment, as it is ‘self-healing’ (exposure to oxygen will regenerate the protective surface film). Steel, on the other hand, requires surface treatment, which can wear off over time, increasing the risk of contamination. However, if your specific needs require it, we can, of course, manufacture your tool from steel.

Since the lifting tool is the part of the lifter that comes into direct contact with the load, it will be more exposed to wear and tear. By using stainless steel, we ensure that there will not be any case of surface treatment wearing or falling off.

Besides the choice of steel alloy, we also put a lot of thought into the choice of material on the lifting tools. For instance if the load is a final product it will need a particularly gentle and careful handling. To ensure that the load isn’t damaged in any way we may add plastic to the contact surfaces of the tool to prevent any scratches or indents on the load.

And last but not least we design our lifters to be as lightweight as possible while maintaining strength and durability, ensuring safe and easy maneuverability.
