Lift Inverter Bar

The initial design challenge was to create a simple yet robust device that could safely manage heavy cable drums while reducing staff requirements, minimizing drum and cable damage, and ensuring compliance with stringent crane and lifting regulations. The design sought to replace one largely unchanged since the 1930s, with the considerations in the latest version included achieving weight reduction without compromising durability, optimizing manufacturability and cost-effectiveness, and developing a solution that could be easily transported and operated in remote locations.

The Lift Inverter Bar addresses these challenges through its innovative three-component design, which eliminates double handling and simplifies drum management operations. By carefully engineering and selecting materials, the device exceeds safety regulations while remaining portable. The Lift Inverter Bar transforms a complex, multi-person operation into a streamlined two-person task, effectively managing drums weighing up to 12 tonnes. The design's simplicity belies its sophisticated engineering, which required specific expertise to optimize manufacturing while maintaining structural integrity and operational efficiency. The Lift Inverter Bar 's user-friendly design ensures ease of use and transport, making it adaptable to various industries and locations.

The Lift Inverter Bar delivers substantial commercial and environmental benefits. •Productivity and efficiency improvements of over 50% •Reduction in personnel requirements enables significant reduction in OH&S related risk exposure. •The simple design reduces drum and cable damage and wastage of damaged drums.

The Lift Inverter Bar has been recognized by international Heavy Lift Specialisst as …. “a world changing solution to a worldwide problem! Key features include •A design adaptable to various sized cable drums •Default sizes for the most common drums … 6t and 12t •Custom designs for larger weights are available and adapted to each unique application as required. •Has several additional support components to enable better handling of loose cable, rotten or collapsed drums. •Additional Drum Support or a Load Support ability for Extra Width Drums is also available. •The Lift Inverter Bar has been Patented in 10 key target markets. This strategy was adopted due to the need to protect its effectiveness and simplicity.
