Overhead Chains and Lifting Columns

Ideal Solutions for the Suspended Handling of Hides

MM Meggiolaro’s overhead chains are designed to meet the needs for efficient and safe handling of hides within tannery production lines. These suspended transport systems allow for workspace optimization and ensure continuous and automated material handling, reducing manual management time and improving production flow.

When are Overhead Chains and Lifting Columns essential?

  • Efficient handling in limited spaces: Overhead chains allow vertical space utilization, freeing up ground-level workspace for other operations. They are essential in tanneries with limited production spaces where optimizing available areas is crucial for operational efficiency.
  • Continuous and automated hide transport: In production phases where hides must be continuously moved from one station to another, overhead chains provide an automated solution that reduces downtime, improving production flow.
  • Reduction of manual handling costs: By automating the transport of hides, manual handling costs are reduced, and operator safety is improved by lowering the risk of accidents and physical strain.

Key features of Overhead Chains and Lifting Columns

  • Suspended transport system: Overhead chains enable suspended movement of hides, freeing up ground space and improving internal logistics. They are ideal for environments where space organization is critical.
  • Smooth and continuous movement: Thanks to the chain-driven system, these solutions offer a continuous material flow, improving the efficiency of production operations. The transport speed is adjustable to adapt to the different stages of the production cycle.
  • Durable and resistant materials: Overhead chains are built with high-resistance materials, designed to last over time and withstand the most demanding operating conditions, such as humidity, chemicals, and abrasion.

Materials Used

  • Painted carbon steel: Perfect for ensuring robustness and durability over time, especially in intense production environments requiring resistant materials.
  • Stainless steel: Used in environments requiring greater corrosion resistance, stainless steel ensures long durability even in the presence of chemicals or humidity.
  • Combination of carbon and stainless steel: This solution offers an optimal balance between robustness and corrosion resistance, ensuring long-lasting use in the most wear-exposed parts.

Situations where Overhead Chains and Lifting Columns make the difference:

  • High-Volume Production: Overhead conveyors are essential in tanneries that handle large quantities of hides and require continuous transport between different processing stages, without disrupting the production flow.
  • Work Environments with Limited Floor Space: In production areas where floor space is limited, overhead conveyors allow for optimal use of available space, improving logistics and optimizing the production layout.
  • Improved Operational Safety: By automating the transport of hides, overhead conveyors reduce the risks associated with manual handling, enhancing safety conditions for workers.
