Drive Components

Speed is our driving force

Fast, efficient and quiet

High traversing speeds, low noise levels and accurate positioning are characteristics of the Hänel Lean-Lift®

Hänel Lean-Lift® new generation in a high-speed version

The Hänel Lean-Lift® is available in a high-speed version. The vertical speed of travel, for example for containers with a load capacity of up to 500 kg, is 2.3 m/sec with an empty extractor, and 1 m/sec with a loaded extractor. Horizontally the extractor travels jolt-free at a speed of 0.5 m/sec.

Moreover each Hänel Lean-Lift® is equipped with a soft start control with frequency converter.

The advantage: Gentle and rapid acceleration and braking.

 

The vertical carriage (extractor) has 4-point suspension…

This has enormous advantages:

  • No tilting of the extractor.
  • No problem with uneven load distribution, even with heavy weights, and consequently a longer lifecycle.
  • Easy maintenance access from the side.
  • Easy attachment of the arresting device for the extractor.

…and time-proven, low-noise 4-chain technology!

  • Roller chains are durable, so no fatigue failures.
  • Long lifecycle.
  • No replacement necessary at fixed service intervals.
  • Roller chains have a high rate of efficiency (98%).
  • Accurate positioning because of high rigidity.
  • No slip on emergency stops.

Highly efficient and powerful motors allow the extractor
to achieve travel speeds of up to 2.3 m/sec

The Hänel EcoDrive – CO2 reductions thanks to efficient energy recovery

In the Hänel Lean-Lift® EcoDrive, a frequency converter converts the kinetic energy of the descending extractor into electrical energy and feeds it back into the electrical supply system. Depending on the traversing rate, up to 40% of the energy fed in for the upward run can be returned to the supply network.
