The food industry must move and repack large, heavy containers under strict rules not every lifting aid meets. Equipment must be hygienic, easy to clean, and corrosion-resistant—and robust, stable, ergonomic, and durable. The mobile ezzLIFTmaster in hygienic stainless execution meets these needs. Best Handling Technology recommends it when items are lifted repeatedly over limited distances or when dosing or weighing is part of handling.
Benefits: simple operation, safe pick-up and placement, good manoeuvrability, universal battery use, versatile standard accessories, and custom solutions.
Preparing recipes with the lifting aid
For moving, repacking, or pouring large quantities—for example from buckets and drums into mix vessels—ezzLIFTmaster is ideal. Containers up to 500 kg can be handled. In the example below, 250 kg of fish are emptied into a processing line: the food transport container is raised over 2 m and electrically tilted into a chute for further processing.
Similar aids are used for smaller quantities; manual handling already strains staff from about 15 kg.
Dosing
The source container often must be held above the batch vessel—impossible by hand while dosing. ezzLIFTmaster supports pick-up, movement, and emptying; operators drive between vessels and adjust pour height. Rotation to empty: manual crank or electric button. Many shapes: drums, cartons, buckets, sacks, etc. Grippers clamp for safe emptying; cartons, drums, and buckets can be clamped and rotated.
Forward or side emptying allows precise pouring. Depending on powder or liquid flow, the operator can assist with a scoop.
Weighing
An integrated scale weighs on the device via load cell and platform. Incoming goods can be verified, weighed, and logged with a data logger or online connection.
The display is usually on the column but can be flexibly placed—for example on a swivel arm. Up to 500 kg depending on version, without an extra step during filling and dosing.
Mixing
For small batches ezzLIFTmaster can serve as a continuous mixer—dose and mix without changing equipment. Pick up, lift, mix, set down; positions by button, even while driving; mixing by button; special control presets pick, place, and mix parameters.
