One of the UK's top cleanroom manufacturing companies has recently joined forces with an innovative engineering company from Sweden to import hygienic lifting equipment designed specifically for use in clean environment industries.

PBSC has long been supplying clean room doors, glass cleanroom doors, stainless steel doors, fire rated doors, vision panels, transfer hatches, pass through chambers, emergency escape panels, cleanroom furniture for use in the healthcare, chemical, biotech and pharmaceutical industries.

By agreeing to represent Svenema in the UK, the company is now also able to supply a considerable range of specialist lifting trolleys for material handling solutions.

Svenema is renowned for the design and development of lift trolleys, platform lifts and electronic industrial lifters, manufactured in partnership with top-flight Swedish suppliers, says PBSC.

Svenema specialises in clean-environment industries and, consequently, possesses a broad and genuine expertise in developing specialist solutions to meet most hygiene standards and requirements.

The smooth hygienic design of the Svenema lift makes it easy to keep the lifting trolley or lift table clean.

This minimises accumulation of particles or micro-organisms and is suitable for the repeated application of cleaning agents and disinfectants.

Lift capacity ranges from 40-300kg and all models can be customised to a client's specific needs and requirements.

HSE regulations require all lifting equipment to be sufficiently strong, stable and suitable for any given application, with the load being positioned or installed to prevent the risk of injury to the operative, and clearly marked with any appropriate information, such as safe working loads.

The correct lifting equipment for a given clean room or critical hygiene application is vital for the health and safety of employees.

It has long been acknowledged that lifting heavy weights and cause serious back strain and injury, but the continual lifting of lighter weights throughout the working day can also cause accumulative problems which can be minimised and sometimes eliminated with Svenema lifts and lifters.

The stainless steel design of the Maxi ensures smooth surfaces and few joints.

And the continuously variable lifting speed of 0-120mm/s provides any cleanroom application with a reliable partner when lifting heavy weights with absolute precision.
