Flexible Material Lifting Equipment for Handling Any Type of Box Within Any Branch of Industry
Boxes – all industries have them. All industries need to handle them.
Material lifting equipment in some shape or other is probably nessesary if the boxes are:
- are too heavy for personnel to carry and maneuver around by hand
- come in large numbers
- require frequent lifting, moving, and handling
- perhaps come in awkward shapes that make them difficult to handle and carry manually
If you recognize any of the above challenges, then industrial material handling equipment might be your answer.
So if you’re looking for an electric lifter to handle your boxes and crates, we can certainly help you with that.
‘Okay’, you may say, ‘all that’s very well, but those issues are not my only problem, I also have physical environmental challenges in terms of constricted working space as well as industrial regulations to pay attention to.’
No problem, we’d be more than happy can help you with that, too. We can adapt our lifters to suit any environment and any industry regulations (e.g. GMP).
‘All this is great, but what if I need an electric lifter that needs to be part of my storage systems, can you do that as well?’
Indeed we can. We are an OEM supplier for material handling equipment, too!
In 2Lift, we’ll meet and welcome any needs and challenges you may have!
In other words:
– if your material lifting equipment needs are simple and straightforward, we have a wide range of standard solutions for you
– if your lifter needs are special and complex, we can create bespoke solutions and thus help you with that, too
This flexibility in creating solutions (rather than merely offering products) is possible thanks to the modular principles of our design – a concept we call the 2Lift Modular Design.
Lifting all Types of Boxes
We strive to handle even the most awkwardly shaped box needed to be handled in the tightest working space in the most challenging cleanroom environment.
Here at 2Lift our material lifting equipment can lift and handle everything from plastic crates and cardboard cartons to metal containers and fragile packages. We design and manufacture industrial material handling equipment for pretty much:
- Any shape of box or crate
- Whichever type of material (wood, cardboard, plastic, metal)
- Any branch of industry, be that e.g. storage, pharmaceutical, food / beverage or something completely different
Our Lifting Tools for Lifting and Handling Boxes
Our Lifting Tools for Lifting and Handling Boxes
The main differentiating parameter when it comes to designing material lifting equipment for handling boxes is the choice of lifting tool (also called end-effectors).
Different shapes of boxes and different gripping, docking and handling requirements will often make one type of lifting tool more ideal than another.
At 2Lift we can offer three main types of lifting tools for lifting and handling boxes:
- Forks (singular or double)
- Platforms (flat or with rollers)
- Scissor Clamps
All these lifting tools can be specially adapted and built to suit your needs perfectly.
Gallery of Material Lifting Equipment for Lifting and Handling Boxes
Below you will find some visual examples of how we may solve your lifting needs for handling boxes.
Again, these electric lifters are just examples of what we’ve built so far, so if you need something tailored your specific needs (maybe you have environmental constriction such as a low door frame, narrow aisles etc.) we will custom build a specially dimensioned material handling lift for you.
Material Lifting Equipment with Forks
Various forms of forks as lifting tools are our most popular solution for lifting boxes that have a top edge. The forks hold the box right under the edge and then the box is lifted from under that edge.
If there is a need for tipping the box, there is the choice of using a double fork.
Model F: Material Lifting Equipment with Fork for Boxes
This material lifting equipment solution features a simple fork which to lift boxes af a given size.
The dimensions of the fork can be modified as required.

Model AF: Material Lifting Equipment with Fork Fitted with Self-clamping Edges
This industrial box lifting solution is ideal for metal boxes, since the self-clamping edges supply a firm grip, even when the boxes are deformed or damaged.
Model AF: Electric Lifter with Adjustable Fork
In this lifting and handling solution the width of the fork is adjustable– this allows for easy handling of boxes of different dimensions.
Model ERU-DF: Material Handling Lift with Double Fork and Rotation Unit
The double fork allows for boxes to be lifted and rotated to empty their content.
Model ERU-F: Handling Machinery with Fork Fitted with Clamp and Rotation Unit
This piece of material handling machinery features a fork with a clamping device. This allows boxes with a geometry that prohibits the use of a simple fork to be held firmly.
Fitted with a rotation unit, this solution also allows for tipping and emptying boxes.
Electric Lifters with Platforms
A very simple solution for lifting and handling boxes is the use of a platform. This is the standard solution for handling square boxes, typically storage boxes, with no top edges.
The platform can come many different designs:
- There is the straightforward flat surfaced platform which can used for boxes that aren’t too heavy.
- But to ease the manual pushing of boxes onto and off the platform, we often recommend a platform with rollers:
- We have platforms with rollers on the front or an all sides of the platform.
- However, you can also have the whole platform consist of rollers, if you want to roll your box all the way off or on the platform (then technically it isn’t a platform as such, but a frame with rollers).
Model MP: Electric Lifter with Stainless Steel Platform for Boxes
This stainless steel material lifting solution features astainless steel platform– strong and ideal for cleaning.
Model PP: Material Handling Equipment with Nylon Platform for Boxes
The nylon platform reduces friction, enabling boxes to be slid on and off with less effort.
Model MP: Industrial Platform Lifter with Platform and Rollers for Boxes
Use this text to share information about your brand with your customers. Describe a product, share announcements, or welcome customers to your storeSimilar to the solutions above but with added rollers allowing boxes to be rolled on and off the platform.
This platform lifter is available with either a stainless steel or nylon platform. Lifts up to 400 kg.
Industrial Material Handling Equipment with Scissor Clamps
If your box has a very special type of geometry that makes it particularly difficult to handle and which is isn’t suited for either forks or platforms, we can build a lifter with a scissor clamp that will grip and put careful pressure on your box from two sides.
Another advantage of the scissor clamp is the possibility of tipping the box, if that is an important handling requirement. Then we place a turning unit behind the clamp which enables it to turn sideways.
Model EC: Box Gripper with Electric Clamp
Use this text to share information about your brand with your customers. Describe a product, share announcements, or welcome customers to your store.
Model ERU-EC: Box Gripper with Electric Clamp and Rotation unit
Similar to above, this lifting and handling solution features an electric clamp with grippers covered in soft rubber, but with an added rotation unit, which allows for easy emptying of the box.
Lifts up to 120 kg.
