Sheet Lifters

Sheet lifters are crane or hoist attachments used to lift and position sheets of metal. Often, metals like steel or aluminum are stored and transported as heavy stacks of flat sheets, and sheet lifters allow these flat stacks to be loaded, unloaded, and positioned efficiently and safely.

Sheet lifters are available in a variety of different capacities and configurations. The right sheet lifter will move materials quickly, cause no damage to the load, and, most importantly, contribute to a safe work site or warehouse.

During operation, sheet lifters work a little like the old claw machine you used to find in arcades and bowling alleys – the sheet lifter is attached to a crane or hoist and lowered onto a bundle of metal sheets. Then its jaws are closed around the load, forming a secure base under the bundle and allowing it to be safely lifted, moved, and positioned.
