Raise it. Lower it. Rotate it. Dock it.
Hanningfield‘s stainless steel lift columns are engineered for safe and repeatable operation in hygienic environments.
While we offer standard models of Pharmaceutical Hoists, there are some applications where these models do not suit a design specification, and hence a bespoke design is required. On these occasions, Hanningfield are able to engineer and manufacture a solution to provide a hoist with features tailored to a customer’s exact specification.
For a recent project, we worked alongside a customer to manufacture an all-stainless steel pharmaceutical hoist which included a range of bespoke features. Included in the design was a stainless steel column which was manufactured from a single piece of custom-made box section. The unit also featured stainless chains, motors and sprockets and a stainless slew ring. A fully stainless steel IBC with mirror-finish internals was also delivered upon request.

Pharmaceutical Hoist: Process Examples
Duplex Hoist for Fast IBC Changeover
The Uni-Hoist (HES Duplex) features two independent lifting platforms; this allows the unloading of empty IBCs and loading of full IBCs onto the passive half while the active half discharges, minimising changeover time between batches.


Raise and Lower of Mixer
The Uni-Hoist can be used for the simple raise and lower of mixers into vessels.
Lifting IBC above Tablet Press
The Uni-Hoist HES can be used to raise and dock IBCs above a process machine for discharging powder directly into the loading hopper.
