Logitrans HLIP Series Stainless Steel Thork Skid Lift

Logitrans HLIP Series Stainless Steel Thork Skid Lift, Food, Pharma, and Washdown Environmentsnts

The Logitrans HLIP Series is a stainless steel manual Thork skid lift designed for environments that require corrosion-resistant equipment capable of withstanding washdown, sanitizing agents, and the hygienic demands of food processing, pharmaceutical, beverage, and medical device production areas. While the standard Logitrans HL-Series is built from painted steel for general industrial use, the HLIP (Panther Inox Plus) is constructed entirely from stainless steel. "Inox" is the European designation for stainless steel (from the French "inoxydable") and is commonly used in specifications for food and pharmaceutical equipment.

Like the standard HL-Series, the HLIP lifts open-bottom pallets and skids that a standard pallet truck cannot engage. Forks are 47" long. Capacity is height-dependent: 3,300 lb to 18.5" and 2,200 lb to the full 31.5" maximum lift height. Rounded corners minimize contact damage to the surroundings during maneuvering. Two models are available, differing only in fork width.

The stainless construction carries a significant price premium over the standard HL-Series. If the application is in a standard industrial environment that does not require corrosion resistance or washdown capability, the standard Logitrans HL-Series provides identical lift performance at a lower cost.

Models and Specifications:

♦ HLIP-21, 21.25" W, 47" L forks. Maximum lift height: 31.5". Capacity: 3,300 lb to 18.5" / 2,200 lb to 31.5". Stainless steel construction. Standard fork width for most skid applications.
♦ HLIP-27, 27" W, 47" L forks. Maximum lift height: 31.5". Capacity: 3,300 lb to 18.5" / 2,200 lb to 31.5". Stainless steel construction. Wider fork spread for larger skids or applications that need additional lateral support.

Selecting the Right Model:

♦ Fork width, 21.25" vs. 27", the HLIP-21 is suited for skids with standard entry openings. The HLIP-27 provides a wider fork spread for larger or wider skids, where the additional support improves load stability. Both models are otherwise identical in capacity, fork length, and lift height.
♦ Stainless vs. standard HL-Series: choose the HLIP when the operating environment requires stainless steel, specifically food processing, pharmaceutical production, beverage, medical device manufacturing, or any area subject to regular washdown with water, sanitizers, or cleaning chemicals. For standard warehouse, factory, or toolroom use where washdown is not required, the standard Logitrans HL-Series provides the same forklift capability in painted steel at a significantly lower cost.
♦ Height-dependent capacity: the full 3,300 lb capacity applies only at heights up to 18.5". At the full 31.5" maximum height, capacity is 2,200 lb. Plan load weights accordingly when lifting heavy skids to full height.

Where Commonly Used:

Food processing and meat packing plants use the HLIP to move and position skids in production and cold storage areas where painted steel would corrode under repeated high-pressure washdown; pharmaceutical and biomedical manufacturers use it in classified production areas requiring corrosion-resistant material specifications; beverage and dairy facilities use it throughout wet production zones with regular chemical cleaning schedules; and hospital sterile processing and central supply departments use it in areas where standard carbon steel would degrade under disinfection protocols.
