Portable Lift

Description

The CDM Portable Lift is a sanitary mobile lifting solution designed for flexible material handling in pharmaceutical and cleanroom environments. Each lift includes a custom engineered arm built to meet specific process needs, whether lifting bags, pallets, drums, or bins. Available in either battery or pneumatic operation, the system provides reliable performance and smooth movement throughout the workspace. The stainless steel construction ensures full cGMP compliance while maintaining a clean, durable finish. Operators can easily maneuver the lift between rooms or production lines which improves workflow efficiency and reduces manual handling. 

Lifting Column

The Column is constructed from 304 Stainless Steel. The exterior finish is polished to a uniform brushed finish with all external welds ground smooth to match parent material. All motors, gearboxes and electrical enclosures are internal of the column.

Ball-Screw Driven

Ball-Screw drive directly coupled to an electrically driven gearmotor with a fail-safe brake. A ball bearing screw runs on lubricated free moving ball bearings. The screw and nut have matching helical grooves. As the screw or nut rotates, and the rolling balls reach the trailing end of the nut, they are recycled and returned to the leading end of the circuit. The cycle resumes and the balls recirculate continuously.

This is the safest and most efficient lifting technology available.

The Lift motor is located at the bottom of the column for easy access. Height and travel adjustments can be field programmed and easily changed. All CDM lifts feature a Safety Ball Nut Clutch. A direct engagement clutch, mounted to the lift drive ball nut. This device is designed to release the drive components if the load is lowered onto an obstruction. Reversing direction automatically re-engages the drive.

cGMP Slot Cover

The front slot on the column is sealed with our patent pending magnetic “Positive Seal Closure”. This seal utilizes a two-part magnetic stripping that forms a watertight seal with the column. As the lifting carriage moves up and down the seal continuously closes reducing the possibility of contamination.

Controls

The control system provides simple and reliable operation, with controls mounted either on the rear of the column or through a convenient pendant station. This design ensures easy access for operators while maintaining a clean and ergonomic layout suitable for sanitary environments.
