Typical applications would be in the pharmaceutical and plastics industries or wherever big bags are used to handle raw materials or finished products throughout the processing and general engineering markets.

The big bag handling systems accommodate a wide range of big bag sizes as well as other bulky or fabricated loads where physical shape or size is a limiting handling factor rather than weight.

The system is available in either a single or double hook design. The single hook unit can be ordered with customized clearance dimensions between the hook centerline and the chain box cover ranging from 17 to 46 inches. This distance guarantees that there is no danger of collision between the load and the chain box.

In the two hook design, the Big Bag Handler may be used as a synchronized hoist. The twin load-hook units provide synchronized lifting facilities ensuring both safe and effective handling of larger loads, together with longer loads. Models can be supplied with dimensions between load-hook centers varying from 10 to 51 inches.

JDN Big Bag Handling air hoists are available at carrying capacities of 2200 lbs and 4400 lbs, with an air pressure of 85 psi. A ten foot lift height is provided as standard with maximum lift heights up to 145 feet are also possible, depending on the model.
