Why Choose Us?

– The Special Features of 2Lift Material Handling Products

Boiled down to the essence, there are 3 main features that define all material handling equipment from 2Lift.

– Uncompromising quality priorities
– Exceptional design flexibility via modular design
– Highly prioritized safety measures

 

Uncompromising Quality Priorities

When a piece of material handling equipment starts supplying machines and personnel with needed materials for industrial production, the lifter automatically becomes an essential part of the chain of a manufacturing process. Personnel come to rely on the lifters, making solidity and reliability key issues.

We do our best to live up to these expectations by implementing the following in all our products:

– We use only the highest quality components in our lifters. Quality is always the first priority in component selection with no compromises allowed. Most components are of a German or Danish origin, and we make no short cuts regarding living up to industry regulations.

Thus e.g. when building GMP optimized stainless steel material handling products, there will no aluminium or galvanised steel parts anywhere, and the use of oils and grease is a thing of the past as we use a toothed belt as the lifting mechanism inside our lifting columns.

– Built for longevity. Our electric lifters are dimensioned for a 20-year life expectancy assuming normal use . This is excluding wear and tear elements such as wheels and batteries. As such elements tend to have a limited life span, they are naturally included in our spare part program.

 

Exceptional Design Flexibility via Modular Design

Each facility and each industry is different. Thus the parameters for lifting and handling operations vary widely.

– Loads vary in geometry and weight.
– The direction and type of manipulation varies depending on the task itself.
– The presence of doors, ceilings, machine parts and other obstructions differ greatly and may in some instances cause challenges in terms of restricted access.

When we designed our lifters, we knew that in many circumstances a standard solution would not do. Therefore, we adopted a modular approach to all our material handling products:

– Our module-to-module compatibility allows for a very broad palette of design opportunities.
– With modular standardisation as the solid basis, potential customisation of the lifter tools (end-effectors) becomes easy and thus cost-effective.

Apart from custom dimensions, we also deliver a wide variety of other options including:
– Stainless steel (AISI 304 and AISI 316L)
– Waterproofing (IP65)
– ATEX directive compatibility
– Electrostatic discharge (ESD)
– Alternative RAL colour
– Exchangeable batteries
– Programmable position stop (PPS)
– Docking system
– A rapid tool change adaptor (RTC) (allowing the same lifter to use multiple lifting tools)

 

Highly Prioritized Safety Measures in Our Material Handling Products

During lifting and handling operations, safety should always be the first priority. Therefore it is one of the main focus points in the design process and testing procedures.

– During the design phase, calculations are made to ensure that all safety factors for strength exceed industry standards by a comfortable margin. This is to reduce the risk of back injury as well as other forms of injury sustained from manual lifting. Apart from the added user safety, this also ensures an added degree of reliability.

– To ensure operator safety in regard to using the lifter, we of course adhere to all applicable industry standards and regulations. We also conduct thorough risk evaluations and address the “what if”-scenarios that may lead to safety issues.

– We implement technical features such as:
– safety clutches
– overload protection
– hold-to-run controls
– emergency stops, when applicable.

– Our factory testing procedures also work to eliminate safety issues that might arise from assembly or component errors. We test everything rigorously before it leaves our facility and document it with photos, video and checklists.

– In many lifting and handling operations, safety also applies to the load in addition to the operator. Some of our customers use our material handling products for loads with values exceeding 100.000 €. Dropping or damaging a load due to failure of the lifting equipment is not acceptable to us; this is of course reflected in our product.

 

If You Believe We Can Help You, Please Don’t Hesitate to Contact Us

Finding the right lifter solution for both the lifting/handling operation, work environment layouts and industry branch is no easy task. Such complexity makes communication before the design phase that much more important.

In 2Lift we put a lot of effort into this requirements discovery process to make sure that no detail is left out before designing and building our customers’ material handling products. To this end, we have a fully standardized communications procedure to ensure the best possible result.

We hope you enjoyed our presentation of how we hope to help you. Please, don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We will be happy to do our best to answer them and are looking forward to hearing from you.
