Manlifts
Delta is at the forefront of the manlift industry in Ontario, currently maintaining approximately two thirds of the registered manlifts in the province.
These lifts are often used in industrial settings such as feed mills, flour mills and other production operations. Types of manlifts include hand-powered counterbalanced manlifts and powered endless-belt manlifts (such as Humphrey lifts).
Delta has significant experience regarding manlifts, including mechanics with over a century of combined experience with these devices. Delta also has one of the largest spare-parts inventory for manlifts in the province.
Alimak Rack & Pinion Manlifts

Delta is an authorized service provider for Alimak/Hek in the province of Ontario for the service, repair and installation of the Alimak rack & pinion manlifts.
Rack & pinion lifts are ideally suited to harsh industrial environments (i.e. mines, power generation, cement manufacturing, chemical production, food processing etc). Where regular traction (roped) elevators require a wire rope that is subject to damage in harsh environments, the rack & pinion design offers a more robust alternative. Furthermore, while varying temperatures can cause wire ropes to lengthen or contract, resulting in leveling problems, an Alimak rack & pinion lift always provides accurate floor leveling.
A further advantage of this type of lift is that a separate machine room is not required as the drive motor, brakes and gears are all self-contained on top of the car.
Delta field mechanics and office supervisors have completed training provided by Alimak-Hek on the installation, maintenance and repairs of their rack and pinion lifts. As an authorized service provider for Alimak-Hek, Delta also has immediate access to further technical support and has immediate access to all required spare parts.
Alimak lifts can be installed inside or outside, above ground or underground, on curved or inclined surfaces.
