How can I safely lift a Big Bag?

The safest way to lift the Big Bag is with an integrated lifting system at the unloading station or with a hoist attached to the building. A lifting beam with lockable lifting eyes can then hang from the hoist. Lifting beams can also be fitted with “easy release hooks”. Such hooks can be automatically disconnected by the control when a Big Bag is empty. This ensures a quick, safe and ergonomic disconnection of the Big Bag.

It is also possible to lift the Big Bag with a forklift. This entails more risks because of the risks of collisions during internal transport. There is also a risk that the Big Bag will shoot off the spoons of a forklift. The sharp edges of the spoons can damage the lifting loops, which can lead to dangerous situations.
