Lift Hoists

A hoist is needed to lift the filled crate (about 300 lbs.) into and out of the retort or pasteurizing vat.

A push trolley eases the job of transferring the filled crate to and from the retort, cooling vat or crate dolly.

A crate dolly (see below) is useful when transferring filled crates to the lift hoist and from the cooling vat.

When a 4″ I-beam track is used with a push trolley, the I-beam must be free of all obstructions such as clips, suspension bolts and nuts. If the I-beam is welded to cross trussed, spacers must be used between the top of beam and truss to provide clearance of the trolley wheel flange, which is 3-15/16″ diameter.
