Reliable and Ergonomic Tube Lifters for Industrial Material Handling

suited to manufacturing, warehousing, and logistics operations, our assorted tube lifters offer safe, ergonomic, and versatile lifting solutions tailored to your specific material handling needs.

Product Applications:

Drums: Vacuum grippers can lift drums from the top or side for palletizing, weighing, or general pick-and-place operations. This is a common solution where fast, repetitive handling is required.
Reels: Mechanical or vacuum handling tools are used to lift, transport, and often rotate heavy industrial reels (e.g., paper, film, cable) for loading onto processing machines or storage.
Steel/Timber Sheets: Vacuum lifting beams with multiple suction cups allow a single operator to lift large, flat, and heavy sheets without damage to edges or surfaces. This is common for feeding raw materials into machinery.
Glass Sheets: Specialised vacuum lifters (including those with dual safety circuits) are used for handling large, fragile glass panels during manufacturing, transportation, and installation of windows, facades, and curtain walls

Industries:

Manufacturing and Assembly: Used in production lines to load machines, handle components, or palletize finished goods.
Logistics and Warehousing: Essential for efficient shipping, receiving, and storage of diverse products, from heavy reels to large steel plates.
Construction: Specialised lifters (often mobile, e.g., the Aero-Lift Clad-Lift) are crucial for installing large panels like glass, metal cladding, or timber beams on-site.
Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries: Used for safe handling of drums or other containers, with stainless steel and ATEX-compliant options available for hygiene and safety in volatile environments.
Woodworking and Joinery: Enable the easy manipulation and feeding of large, often porous, wood panels, planks, and doors into CNC machines or onto cutting tables.
Automotive Industry: Used to handle metal body panels, glass components (windscreens/windows), and other parts during the assembly process.

Metal Fabrication and Shipyards: Facilitate the lifting and positioning of large, heavy steel plates, beams, and components with precision and minimal damage.

Designed for Your Industry

Airports

Airport handling equipment must work reliably around tight turnaround schedules, high-traffic service areas and loads that vary from baggage and cargo to maintenance components.Lift Rite supplies vacuum and mechanical lifters, mobile lift trolleys, electric towing vehicles, pallet equipment and work-positioning systems for terminals, cargo facilities and maintenance areas. These solutions support repetitive loading, internal transport, inspection and equipment movement while reducing manual effort. Selection should consider the load type, route, available space, duty cycle and whether the equipment will operate airside, indoors or across mixed surfaces. Specialist solutions can be engineered for unusual airport loads or restricted access.

Computers & Electronics

Electronic components and assemblies are often high-value, fragile and sensitive to impact or contamination. Handling equipment must therefore provide precise movement without introducing unnecessary force at the workstation.Lift Rite supplies vacuum and mechanical lifters, mobile lift trolleys, scissor tables and transport equipment for production, assembly, testing and packaging operations. Systems can help position components accurately, move sub-assemblies between stations and set a safe working height for inspection or installation. Equipment can be configured around the load geometry, surface, cleanliness requirements and level of positioning control required.

Data Centres

Data centre handling requires precise control in narrow aisles, around high-density racks and close to infrastructure that must remain online.LiftRite supplies server and node lifters, motorised rack tugs, battery-handling equipment, mobile access platforms and bespoke positioning systems. These solutions support installation, maintenance, replacement and relocation work—from individual components to complete server cabinets. Equipment is selected around the load dimensions, rack height, route, floor conditions and available access. Where a standard product does not fit the facility, LiftRite can engineer a handling method around the site and procedure.

Food & Beverage

Food and beverage operations need handling equipment that supports hygiene, frequent cleaning and reliable production flow. Typical loads include bags, cartons, containers, ingredients, drums and packaged products.Lift Rite supplies vacuum and mechanical lifters, stainless-steel mobile trolleys, scissor tables, pallet equipment and powered transport solutions for processing, packing, storage and dispatch. Equipment can be specified around washdown requirements, material contact risks, load surface and production layout. By raising, transporting or positioning loads at the point of use, the right system can reduce repetitive lifting without obstructing sanitation or line changeovers.<p><strong>Project Spotlight:</strong> Explore a purpose-configured solution for <a href="https://liftrite.ie/project-spotlight-mobile-keg-lifting-and-rotation/">lifting and rotating kegs in food and beverage handling</a>.</p>

Hospitals

Healthcare environments require quiet, manoeuvrable equipment that can move safely through corridors, stores and clinical support areas without disrupting staff or patients.Lift Rite supplies electric towing vehicles, mobile lift trolleys, scissor tables, pallet equipment and stainless-steel handling solutions for supplies, linen, waste, equipment and maintenance loads. Configurations can be selected for confined routes, frequent cleaning and loads that must remain stable during transport. Where standard equipment is unsuitable, the handling method can be adapted to the load, department and route through the facility.

Manufacturing & Assembly Lines

Production work often requires components to arrive at the correct height and orientation for assembly, welding, inspection, packing or machine loading.Lift Rite supplies scissor lift tables, work positioners, mobile lift trolleys, manipulators and overhead lifting systems for these tasks. Equipment can raise, rotate, tilt or transport a load so operators do not repeatedly lift from floor or pallet level. The solution should be based on component weight, workstation height, required movement, cycle frequency and the way material flows into and out of the line. Mobile, fixed, stainless-steel and custom platform options are available.

Pharmaceutical

Pharmaceutical handling equipment must provide controlled movement while supporting cleanliness, traceability and established operating procedures.Lift Rite supplies stainless-steel vacuum and mechanical lifters, mobile lift trolleys, drum equipment, scissor tables, pallet trucks and stackers for manufacturing, packaging, storage and cleanroom applications. Systems can be configured for washdown, restricted spaces and sensitive loads, with easy-clean materials and surfaces where required. Selection is based on the load, room classification, cleaning method, handling sequence and documentation needs. Bespoke equipment is available when a standard configuration cannot meet the process.

Steel, Wood & Fabrication

Large steel sheets, timber panels and glass slabs are difficult to control because of their weight, dimensions, surface finish and changing orientation during fabrication.Lift Rite supplies vacuum and mechanical lifting systems that can grip, lift, transport, tilt and rotate these materials for cutting, assembly, finishing or installation. Vacuum lifters suit smooth and delicate surfaces; mechanical systems are available where the load requires another gripping method. Equipment can be integrated into a workshop or production area and configured around sheet size, weight, surface condition, final orientation and available crane coverage.

Timber & Joinery

Kitchen worktops, cabinet panels, timber boards and composite slabs must often be moved from storage to cutting, finishing and assembly without damaging completed surfaces.Lift Rite provides vacuum and mechanical lifting systems for vertical lifting, horizontal transfer, rotation and multi-angle tilting. Vacuum equipment is well suited to smooth laminated and finished panels, while mechanical solutions support materials that cannot be vacuum-gripped. Systems can be arranged around the workshop layout and selected according to panel dimensions, weight, surface, production sequence and required orientation.

Transport & Distribution

Warehouses and distribution centres depend on repeatable handling across loading bays, storage areas, packing stations and internal transport routes.Lift Rite supplies vacuum and mechanical lifters for cartons and containers, mobile lift trolleys, electric towing vehicles, drum trucks, scissor tables, pallet trucks and stackers. Each system addresses a different part of the flow: lifting at the workstation, moving goods over distance, positioning loads or using vertical storage. Equipment should be selected around throughput, load type, route, lift height and available aisle space rather than from a generic product list.

Waste Management

Waste and recycling operations involve bins, cages, bags, drums and bulky loads that may be dirty, unstable or moved across uneven, high-traffic areas.Lift Rite supplies electric towing vehicles and wheelbarrows, mobile lift trolleys, drum trucks, scissor tables, pallet equipment and specialist lifting systems for transfer stations, recycling facilities and municipal depots. Solutions can reduce manual pushing, pulling and repetitive lifting during collection, sorting, loading and maintenance.
