Manually Operated Sheet and Plate Lifters

Manually Operated Sheet Lifters

When a power supply is not available, or when access to the lifter is not an issue, a manually operated sheet lifter is an excellent choice. Particularly useful for handling stacks of sheet metal, these lifters are also effective for handling single sheet and plate as well. A hand wheel or chain wheel is used to open and close the lifter. Telescoping and Parallelogram styles are available to suit your specific application.

Asked & Answered

Q: What is the advantage of an Automatic Plate Tong versus a Telescoping Plate Lifter?
A: Automatic Plate Tongs excel in high production environments where efficiency is paramount, however, they are limited in the range of sizes that can be handled with a single unit. Telescoping Lifters offer greater flexibility in the range of sizes that can be handled, and also excel at handling extremely long plate.

Q: How do I select the type of lifter for my application?
A: Bradley Lifting produces many different below-the-hook devices for lifting plate or sheet; several factors must be considered when selecting a particular lifting device:

  • Maximum load
  • Single or multiple pieces per lift
  • Temperature
  • Pick / place from a stack?
  • Material thickness
  • Maximum / minimum dimensions
  • Magnetic properties
  • Acceptable deflection of material during lift
  • Surface critical requirements
  • Crane limitations (rated capacity, available headroom)
