Dinnissen introduces its own stainless steel lift for pallets, IBCs and FIBCs

January 24, 2025 - The idea for the stainless steel lift emerged during a project in the United States. Dinnissen built two mixing lines there for a major multinational in dietary supplements (collagen powder). During this project, Dinnissen specialists Frans Bakker and Melvin van Hilst noticed that the design was not sufficiently safe. Pallets with raw materials had to be placed on a platform at a height of eight meters, which involved significant risk. Back in the Netherlands, they decided to develop a safer solution together: a lift to safely elevate the pallets with raw materials.

The idea was immediately well received by the client. They searched for a supplier capable of delivering fully stainless steel lifts without hydraulics, due to stringent hygienic requirements. However, the search brought no outcome. When it becomes clear that no suitable supplier could be found, Dinnissen decided to design and build the lift themselves, fully tailored to the client's needs.

Efficient and safe transportation of raw materials

The stainless steel lift for pallets, IBCs and FIBCs provides an efficient and safe way to move raw materials and products within a hygienic production environment. This innovative system meets the strict hygiene standards of the food industry, saves space, ensures safety and accelerates work processes. 

The lift's design is fully aligned with the highest safety and hygiene standards, with stainless steel as the primary material. Stainless steel is not only corrosion-resistant but also easy to clean, minimising the risk of contamination. Moreover, the stainless steel lift is highly versatile: it can easily handle various product types, including pallets, drums, big bags and sack goods.

No hydraulics, but reliable mechanical belt drive

The company has further enhanced the lift's safety by opting for a mechanical belt drive instead of hydraulics. This not only improves hygiene. This not only improves hygiene but also makes the system more reliable and durable. Additionally, the lifts comply with safety standards, such as CE certification, thanks to collaboration with the Liftinstituut in The Netherlands. This partnership ensures compliance and safe operation in industrial environments.

The fully stainless steel lift features its own control system, including LOTO provisions and fall protection, to ensure maximum safety. Everything is fully compliant with the EN 81-30:2010 regulations.

Custom solutions for every stainless steel lift

The company designs the stainless steel lift entirely according to the specific requirements of the customer. This includes considerations such as height, capacity or the specific configuration of input and output routes. Dinnissen ensures that the lift seamlessly integrates into the production process. The lifts can be built in various heights and have a lifting capacity ranging from 500-2000kg.

The company has already built several stainless steel lifts and is currently producing multiple units for various customers.
