Custom Hydraulic Rotating Scissor Lifts
Overview These robust, custom, hydraulic rotating scissor lifts were engineered to position zinc plates for the smelting industry. These scissor lifts can raise and lower up to 6000 lbs., as well as rotate the zinc plates into position during the smelting process. These lifts will run 29 cycles/hr., 12 jogs/cycle, 24 hrs./day, and 310 days/year. […]
DC Battery Powered Ladle Lift
Overview A DC Battery Powered Ladle Lift removes the cords that can be pinched and severed, making the process of raising and lowering the technician safer. Since refractory firebrick in pour ladles requires continual replacement, the ladle lift replaces traditional scaffolding used in the re-bricking job. The lift is loaded into the ladle using a […]
Turbulence Control Structure Cart
Overview Our turbulence control structure cart supports a thirty-two-foot diameter spherical wind baffle from point A to B and then raises and lowers the unit so it can link up to the test engine. At 32,000 lbs, the turbulence control structure dome is a substantial piece of equipment, and Handling Specialty was asked to design […]
