OVERHEAD LIFTING SOLUTIONS
Overhead Lifters
Lift, Position and Move Loads More Effectively
NGT offers overhead lifting and load-handling solutions for applications where materials need to be lifted, positioned or transferred during handling operations.
From dedicated sheet, coil and vacuum lifters to jib cranes and overhead crane systems, the range helps match the lifting approach to the load, movement path and working area.
Different Loads Need Different Lifting Approaches
Overhead lifting is not simply about raising a load.
The appropriate solution depends on what is being handled, how the load can be picked up, where it needs to move, the working radius required and how frequently the lifting operation takes place.
Some applications require dedicated lifting equipment for sheets or coils. Others require vacuum handling, a local jib crane around a workstation, a portable lifting arrangement or an overhead crane covering a broader operating area.
The NGT Overhead Lifters range brings these different approaches together so equipment selection can begin with the actual application.
FLAT MATERIAL HANDLING
Sheet Lifter
Sheet Lifters are intended for applications where flat sheet materials need to be lifted, positioned or transferred during material-handling operations.
They provide a dedicated lifting approach for loads where conventional fork-based handling may not suit the required pick-up or positioning method.
Suitable for
Application note: The correct lifting method depends on the sheet material, dimensions, weight, surface condition and required movement.
COIL HANDLING
Coil Lifter
Coil Lifters provide a dedicated handling approach for applications where coil-based loads need to be lifted, positioned or transferred.
The lifting arrangement should be selected according to the coil geometry, load, pick-up method and required movement.
Suitable for
Application note: Coil dimensions, weight, orientation and lifting method should be confirmed before equipment selection.
VACUUM-BASED HANDLING
Vacuum Lifter
Vacuum Lifters are intended for applications where a suitable load can be picked up and positioned using a vacuum-based lifting arrangement.
They can provide an alternative handling method where the load surface and application are suitable for vacuum engagement.
Suitable for
Application note: Vacuum suitability depends on factors such as the load surface, material, weight, geometry and operating conditions.
FIXED WORKSTATION LIFTING
Wall / Column Mounted Jib Crane
Wall or column mounted jib cranes provide a fixed lifting arrangement for applications where loads need to be lifted and moved within a defined local working area.
They are suited to operations where lifting activity is concentrated around a workstation, machine or process location.
Suitable for
Application note: The required working radius, lifting height, load and available mounting structure should be reviewed before selection.
FLEXIBLE WORKSTATION POSITIONING
Column Mounted Articulated Jib Crane
The Column Mounted Articulated Jib Crane provides a more flexible lifting arrangement for applications where loads need to be positioned across different points around a workstation.
Its articulated configuration is intended for applications where a simple straight-arm movement may not provide the required positioning flexibility.
Suitable for
Application note: Working area, movement path, load and required positioning should be reviewed when selecting the crane configuration.
MOVABLE LIFTING SUPPORT
Portable Jib Crane
Portable Jib Cranes provide a movable lifting arrangement for applications where the lifting requirement may occur at more than one working location.
They can be considered where a permanently fixed lifting point does not suit the operating requirement.
Suitable for
Application note: The load, movement requirement, floor conditions and intended working locations should be reviewed before selection.
WIDER AREA COVERAGE
Overhead Crane
Overhead Cranes are intended for applications where loads need to be lifted and transferred across a larger defined operating area using an overhead lifting system.
They are suited to material-handling requirements that extend beyond a single workstation or local lifting radius.
Suitable for
Application note: Load, lifting height, coverage area, movement path, operating frequency and site structure should all be considered during application review.
