The Ideal Electric Lifter for the Food and Beverage Industry: – A Hygienic Material Handling Lift
Looking for an efficient, durable, and hygienic electric lifter optimally suited your branch of the food and beverage industry?
You probably have a good idea what would make the ideal material handling lift for your specific industry environment, and you may already know which features will make your lifting equipment function optimally.
We humbly believe we know that, too.
Some of the main lifter qualities you’re looking for are probably:
– Hygienic
– Easy to clean
– Corrosion resistant
… while of course having your lifter living up to the minimum and mandatory requirements of being:
– Strong
– Reliable
– Durable
– Ergonomic
– Safe
For material lifting equipment operating in the food and beverage industry, demands are high on nearly all parameters – right from functionality and strength, to hygiene and easy cleaning, to ergonomics and safety.
From our customers we’ve heard many stories describing the typical challenges they face with their industrial equipment. Perhaps you recognize some of these yourself:
- All the frequent and repetitive lifting, rotating, tipping, pouring, and emptying of large bowls, vessels and boxes in industrial dairies, kitchens, bakeries, breweries and the likes take its toll on most industrial equipment in the long run.
- If the production environment is highly saline or acidic, most metals face a hard battle staying corrosion resistant.
- If you add to that the paramount importance of hygienic materials and routines for safeguarding product purity, most material handling lift equipment certainly have their work cut out for them.
So finding the optimal electric lifter for your food and beverage processing and manufacturing environment may not be such an easy task.
But hopefully we can help.
At 2Lift we have many years of experience designing and manufacturing optimized hygienic stainless steel industrial material handling equipment for the food and beverage industry.
In our experience the main ingredients in the recipe for creating the ideal hygienic material handling lift is the combination of:
- High quality components in the optimal material choice (austenitic stainless steel).
- Innovative design that makes the lifter easy to clean.
Our hygienic electric lifters can lift and handle everything from reels and rolls, drums and other vessels, atypically dimensioned pallets to boxes of all shapes and sizes.
Our prime speciality is designing bespoke industrial material handling equipment. Thus we can adapt our lifters to suit whichever specific needs you may have.
– Maybe you need a specially dimensioned lift to fit into tight or narrow spaces?
– Or perhaps you’re looking for a particular, not-yet-seen electric lifter tool to handle your unique load?
Whatever the case, we adjust. We adapt. We can even design from scratch.
If what you require is more standard and less demanding, we also have wide range of standard solutions that may just fit your needs perfectly.

Model ERU-EC: Electric Rotation Unit with Scissor Clamp for Drums
With this example of an electric drum handler equipment, the drum is gripped with bands mounted on a scissor clamp.
This solution allows the drum to rotate sideways, 180° in each direction. The maximum lifting capacity is 120 kg.
Model SRU-SPT: Simple Rotation Unit with special Tool for Mould Injector
With this customized material handling solution, parts and tools for process equipment can easily be lifted and rotated.
This specific solution is adapted to fit a mould injector, however the design can be fitted to all sorts of alternative geomeries as well.
The maximum lifting capacity is up to 250 kg.
Model ERM: Electric Roll Manipulator
With this fully electric roll lifter solution, the rolls are gripped in the core with an electrically activated expanding mandrel. The core of the roll is gently fastened to the mandrel via a tooth plate. When securely fastened, rolls can then be tipped up or down, from core horizontal to core vertical.
This is the ideal solution for non-through-shaft applications, for instance when rolls need to be lifted and tipped from a pallet and placed on a fixed mandrel.
The solution will accommodate different core diameters and can handle rolls up to 350 kg.
Model F: Fork for DollyHeading
Using this variation of a pallet lifter solution, a dolly with boxes can be lifted to the correct height for emptying or filling each box.
The forks can of course be adapted to countless other applications as well, lifting up to 280 kg.
Model CA: Crane Arm Electric Can Gripper
With this customized electric can gripper solution, a can is gripped with a clamp and subsequently positioned using an articulated boom arm.
The solution accommodates cans up to 80 kg.
Model ERU-SPT: Electric Levelling- and Rotation Unit with Special Tool
When changing machine parts in production lines, safe and precise handling is critical. With this material handling solution, a machine part is held securely and leveled before being place on a machine axle.
Maximum lifting capacity is 350 kg.
Model ERU-ST: Electric Rotation Unit and Tool for Trolley
With this type of electric trolley lifting equipment a trolley is gripped with a tool mounted on a rotation unit. In this way the trolley can be lifted and rotated allowing it to be placed upside down on a rack for cleaning, or during production the trolley can be lifted and rotated to transfer the content.
The solution accommodates a weight up to 350 kg.

The Benefits of an Electric Lifter from 2Lift
Aside from the resources poured into the development of the optimal design, stainless steel is probably our most important component when it comes to ensuring that an electrical lifter is both strong, hygienic and easy to clean.
Easy to Clean
Being able to easily and properly clean an electrical lifter is essential for both hygienic purposes and long term corrosion prevention.
Our stainless steel material handling lifters not only tolerate thorough cleaning, they actually thrive on frequent cleaning. You literally can’t clean them enough. They can’t be worn out, or in any way weakened by cleaning.
We have designed our lifters for the food and beverage industry in such a way that they embrace effective and frequent cleaning. A thorough wiping or hosing down with warm water, with or without a gentle cleaning agent, is perfect for our lifters.
