Lifting columns - Hercules
Lifting columns - Hercules
Hercules lifting columns are designed for handling drums, containers, Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBCs/Bins) and small machines like mills, pneumatic conveyors and calibrators. Hercules Mini 300, Midi and Maxima are available also in the mix version combining lifting and blending.

MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
- Simple design and accurate finishing for easy cleaning operations.
- High safety: lifting action given by a high resistance belt (more than 7 times the nominal load) for Hercules Mini and a high resistance chain (more than 6 times the nominal load) for Hercules Midi and Maxima. Both systems are connected to the lifting arm by means of the original safety braking system called “Self-Brake System” holding up the load in case of emergency.
- Different holding systems can be fitted on the lifting arm to hold IBCs, drums, special containers or other machines.
