Goods Lifting Cage

When it comes to transporting bulk materials or loose items vertically, a goods lifting cage is an ideal solution. HES Cranes' goods lifting cages are engineered to provide secure and efficient lifting of various types of cargo, from construction materials and industrial components to agricultural produce and retail goods.

Our goods lifting cages feature sturdy steel construction, with robust base frames, vertical uprights, and heavy-duty mesh or solid steel side panels. These cages are designed to withstand the rigours of frequent use and handling, ensuring long-lasting performance and durability.

To cater to diverse load requirements, HES Cranes offers goods lifting cages in a range of sizes and load capacities. Our standard models include:

  • LC-1000: With a load capacity of 1000 kg and internal dimensions of 1200 mm x 1200 mm x 1200 mm, this cage is suitable for lifting small to medium-sized loads.
  • LC-2000: Offering a load capacity of 2000 kg and internal dimensions of 1500 mm x 1500 mm x 1500 mm, this cage is ideal for larger or heavier goods.
  • LC-3000: Our largest standard goods lifting cage, with a load capacity of 3000 kg and internal dimensions of 1800 mm x 1800 mm x 1800 mm, designed for bulky or dense materials.

All our goods lifting cages are equipped with safety features such as load-rated lifting points, spring-loaded gates, and non-slip flooring to ensure secure and stable transportation of your goods. We can also customize cages to suit specific load dimensions, lifting heights, or special requirements such as removable shelves or compartments.

Pallet Lifting Cage

For businesses that frequently handle palletized goods, a dedicated pallet lifting cage can significantly improve the speed, safety, and efficiency of vertical transportation. HES Cranes' pallet lifting cages are specifically designed to accommodate standard pallet sizes and provide secure lifting and placement of palletized loads.

Our pallet lifting cages feature a robust steel frame with a wide, stable base that can accommodate pallets of various dimensions, including:

  • Standard Pallet (1165 mm x 1165 mm)
  • Euro Pallet (1200 mm x 800 mm)
  • Australian Pallet (1100 mm x 1100 mm)

The cages are equipped with adjustable pallet guides and locking mechanisms to ensure proper positioning and prevent shifting during lifting operations. This enhances stability and minimizes the risk of load displacement or damage.

HES Cranes' pallet lifting cages also incorporate safety features such as full-height mesh or solid steel side panels, spring-loaded access gates, and non-slip floor surfaces. These features not only protect the load but also ensure the safety of operators and personnel working in the vicinity.

Our standard pallet lifting cage models offer load capacities ranging from 1000 kg to 3000 kg, accommodating a wide variety of palletized goods. We can also customize cages to suit specific pallet sizes, load requirements, or lifting configurations, such as double-stack or side-by-side pallet arrangements.

Crane Lifting Cage

In applications where personnel need to be lifted along with tools, equipment, or materials, a crane lifting cage is an essential safety solution. HES Cranes' crane lifting cages, also known as man-riding cages or personnel baskets, are engineered to provide secure and compliant lifting of workers to elevated work sites.

Our crane lifting cages are designed and manufactured in accordance with the strict safety requirements outlined in Australian Standard AS 1418.17, which governs the design, construction, and use of cranes, hoists, and winches. This ensures that our cages meet the highest standards of safety and reliability for personnel lifting applications.

Key features of HES Cranes' crane lifting cages include:

  • Sturdy steel construction with reinforced base, roof, and side panels
  • Non-slip flooring and handrails for personnel safety and stability
  • Fully enclosed design with access gate and safety latches
  • Certified lifting points and rigging attachments
  • Overload protection and emergency stop systems
  • Clear labelling of load capacity, safety instructions, and certification details

We offer crane lifting cages in various sizes and configurations to suit different personnel lifting requirements and crane types. Our standard models include:

  • CLC-500: A compact cage with a load capacity of 500 kg, suitable for lifting 2-3 personnel with tools and light equipment.
  • CLC-1000: A medium-sized cage with a load capacity of 1000 kg, accommodating up to 4-5 personnel and their gear.
  • CLC-1500: Our largest standard crane lifting cage, with a load capacity of 1500 kg, designed for lifting teams of 6-8 personnel and their equipment.

In addition to our standard models, HES Cranes can customise crane lifting cages to meet specific project requirements, such as unique dimensions, special access arrangements, or integration with other lifting or access systems. Our experienced engineering team works closely with clients to design and manufacture tailored solutions that prioritize safety, efficiency, and compliance.

FAQs

1. What is the difference between a goods lifting cage and a pallet lifting cage?

While both goods lifting cages and pallet lifting cages are used for vertical transportation of materials, they are designed to accommodate different types of loads:

Goods lifting cages are versatile enclosures that can lift various types of loose or bulk materials, such as construction supplies, industrial components, or agricultural produce. They feature mesh or solid side panels to contain the load and can be customized with shelves or compartments for organization.

Pallet lifting cages, on the other hand, are specifically designed to lift and transport palletized goods. They have a wide, stable base with guides and locking mechanisms to securely hold and position standard pallet sizes during lifting. Pallet lifting cages are ideal for businesses that frequently handle goods on pallets and want to streamline their vertical transportation processes.

2. Can lifting cages be used outdoors?

Yes, HES Cranes' lifting cages can be used for both indoor and outdoor vertical transportation applications. However, when using lifting cages outdoors, it's important to consider additional factors such as wind load, weather conditions, and environmental exposure.

For outdoor use, we recommend selecting lifting cages with the following features:

  • Galvanized or powder-coated steel construction for enhanced corrosion resistance
  • Fully enclosed design with solid steel or heavy-duty mesh panels to protect against wind and debris
  • Secure access gates and latches to prevent unintentional opening during outdoor lifting operations
  • Adequate drainage holes or grating on the floor to prevent water accumulation
  • Clearly visible load capacity and safety markings that can withstand outdoor exposure
3. How often should lifting cages be inspected?

Regular inspections are crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of lifting cages. In Australia, the inspection requirements for lifting equipment are governed by Australian Standard AS 1418.17 and SafeWork regulations.

HES Cranes recommends the following inspection schedule for lifting cages:

  • Pre-use inspection: Before each use, the operator should visually inspect the lifting cage for any signs of damage, deformation, cracks, or excessive wear. Check that all safety features, such as gates, latches, and lifting points, are functioning properly and securely attached.
  • Routine inspection: Depending on the frequency of use and the severity of the working environment, lifting cages should undergo routine inspections by a competent person at regular intervals, such as monthly or quarterly. These inspections should be more thorough and include checking the structural integrity, welds, and mechanical components of the cage.
  • Annual inspection: Every lifting cage should undergo a comprehensive annual inspection conducted by a qualified inspector or competent person. This inspection should include load testing, non-destructive testing (NDT), and a detailed assessment of the cage's condition, safety features, and compliance with relevant standards.
  • Major inspection: In addition to annual inspections, Australian Standard AS 1418.17 recommends that lifting cages undergo a major inspection by a qualified inspector every 10 years or 25,000 operating hours, whichever comes first. This inspection includes a thorough examination of the cage's structure, components, and safety systems and may involve disassembly and NDT.
