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, rack and pinion 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 Ontario.

Alimak Rack & Pinion Manlifts

Delta is an authorized service provider for Alimak/Hek in the province of Ontario for the service and repair of the Alimak rack and pinion manlifts.

 

Rack and 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 and pinion design offers a more robust alternative. Also, while varying temperatures can cause wire ropes to lengthen or contract, resulting in leveling problems, an Alimak rack and pinion lift always provides accurate floor leveling in these conditions.

 

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.

 

Alimak lifts can be installed inside or outside, above ground or below, and on vertical, curved, or inclined surfaces.

 

Delta field mechanics and office supervisors have completed training provided by Alimak-Hek on the maintenance and repair of their rack & pinion lifts and are qualified to service them across Ontario.

 

As an authorized service provider for Alimak-Hek, Delta also has immediate access to the manufacturer's technical support and to all required spare parts.
