Heavy-Duty Single-Column Lift Customization Case: Efficient 1-Ton Pallet Handling Solution
Key Challenges
- Space Constraints: Narrow installation area ruled out conventional dual-mast lift designs.
- Heavy Load Capacity: Equipment must safely handle 1-ton pallets with minimal deflection.
- High-Speed Operation: 100 pallets/hour throughput required precise synchronization between lifting and conveying.
- Accelerated Timeline: Full project completion (design to commissioning) within 1 month.
Custom Solution: Single-Column Heavy-Duty Lift + Chain Conveyor System
We engineered a single-column heavy-duty reciprocating lift with an integrated ground-level chain conveyor system, enabling vertical lifting and horizontal transfer in one automated workflow.
1. Space-Saving Single-Column Design
- High-strength steel mast reduced footprint by 40%, fitting seamlessly into tight spaces.
- Built-in guide rails ensured smooth 5-meter vertical travel (±2mm accuracy) under full load.
2. Forklift-Friendly Chain Conveyor
- Ground-flush chain conveyor aligned with lift exit/entry points, enabling direct forklift loading/unloading.
- Variable-frequency drive (VFD) motors achieved 0.5m/s conveying speed, meeting 100 pallets/hour targets.
3. Intelligent Safety Systems
- Dual-layer protection: Photoelectric sensors + mechanical limit switches for real-time pallet positioning.
- Overload cutoff, emergency stops, and anti-drop mechanisms ensured OSHA-compliant safety.
