Power operated hoists are widely used in industry, often as part of a larger lifting installation, e.g. with an overhead runway, jib crane or overhead travelling crane, or where a permanent lifting facility is required. They may also be used for fxed position lifting applications or where a temporary powered lifting facility is required

A lift table is a device that employs a scissors mechanism to raise or lower goods. Typically lift tables are used to raise large, heavy loads through relatively small distances. They can work in hostile environments, be manufactured in stainless steel and have equipment like conveyors, turn-tables, barriers and gates easily added to their deckplates.

Vacuum lifters can be suitable for lifting loads which have a smooth, non-porous surface such as metal plates, glass, stone slabs, cardboard boxes, etc. If required, the vacuum lifter can have the facility to tilt a load, such as a steel or glass plate from horizontal to vertical or vice versa, and be capable of rotating the load.

Pneumatic power operated hoists offer many advantages over electrically operated equipment and as a result are widely used in industries where air is provided for other purposes or where the safety aspects associated with air operated equipment are a major consideration.
