Brewery
applications The Penny Hydraulics Cellar Lift is a unique device for handling
loads between two floors in breweries. Originally developed over 20 years ago
for pubs, the Cellar Lift is now widely used in breweries by customers including
Fullers, Timothy Taylors and Bathams. It offers an excellent combination of flexibility
and productivity but just as importantly it removes the need for manual handling
so that brewers can comply with health and safety regulations.
In
most cases the Cellar Lift is configured for vertical
lifting to handle items between existing access points such as trapdoors, although
a sloping version is also available for situations
where access points are offset. The compact design allows it to be installed in
almost any position without getting in the way of other equipment or taking up
valuable workspace. It can be fitted with a cradle to handle a full 54 gallon
barrel or small platform for general items weighing
up to 300kg. Many breweries use their Cellar Lift for handling malt and other
ingredients as well as barrels, crates and gas bottles.
The unique
hydraulic mechanism ensures the Cellar Lift is quiet, simple and reliable. There
is no need to excavate a lift pit at the base and it runs off a standard 240 volt
supply which means it can be positioned in most locations with little or no additional
electrical work. Solid construction with galvanised steel components promotes
durability and provides excellent protection against corrosion and wear in damp
brewing environments. This also means the Cellar Lift can be installed outside
against the building to lift items between access doors. In this way the unit
takes up no interior space and can replace the old external hoists used to raise
deliveries to the upper floors.
Careful design ensures productivity
is not compromised. The rapid lifting and lowering speed of 0.5m/s means an average
2.5 metre drop between floors is covered in just five seconds. This is simpler,
safer and more productive than carrying items by hand. A hold-to-run system cuts
power and stops the lift whenever the user releases the control lever for optimum
safety.
All Cellar Lifts are manufactured by Penny Hydraulics in
the UK to the precise requirements of the specific location and customer. The
company’s exacting quality assurance standards ensure safe, economical and
reliable performance with long maintenance-free service intervals. The company
provides a complete design, installation and training service with a nationwide

peace of mind and help customers meet their statutory inspection and maintenance
