These bottles are too heavy for one person to lift and manoeuvre unaided. With a focus on ergonomics, safety and efficiency, a solution was achieved. WHAT'S NEW IN FOOD TECH ARTICLE (PDF)

The Altrac gantry system can be mounted standing on the floor or from the roof. The lightweight aluminium structure requires few supports and can be mounted to most existing roof structures. The Altrac jib system has a smaller scope than the gantry system, and can be a useful tool for repetitive station operation. These systems can accommodate up to 1000kg SWL and handle any type of lifting mechanism. Manual, electric, pneumatic or vacuum hoists can be attached to either system.
