A bag handling hoist is a mechanical device or system used to lift, lower, and transport bags or sacks of various materials within industrial or commercial settings.
About our Bag Handling Hoists
These hoists are specifically designed for the safe and efficient handling of bags, often in industries like agriculture, construction, food processing, and manufacturing.
Bag handling hoists can be used for a wide range of applications, such as loading and unloading trucks, filling hoppers, stacking bags on pallets, or transporting bags within a processing facility. They are especially valuable in industries where manual handling of heavy bags can be physically demanding and pose safety risks.
Red Rooster Lifting offers Big Bag handling hoists with one hook designed to meet the special requirements for handling bags of product. We also have twin hook hoists for synchronised operation with 1 and 2 tonne capacities for large cruciforms or extended loads, but we can design for larger capacities if necessary. With one or two load hooks the frame dimensions can be varied if required to give the cruciform the maximum lifting height keeping clear of the hoist frame and the chain collector.
Specifically designed for Big Bag handling, our hoists have a rugged and extremely compact design giving the best possible approach distance. Heavy duty load chain is used to reduce excess wear caused by the movement of the cruciform and bag while lifting.
If exhaust oil or moisture is a concern, the exhaust air from the hoist and trolley can be piped away to a safe area, or alternatively our Big Bag handling hoists can also be supplied with our lubrication free air hoists and trolleys.
Our big bag hoists can be used with air, geared or push trolleys or fixed in position. The trolley can be set for a range of flange sizes up to 300mm
