Frequently asked questions
Common questions about SUMNER from 3G Electric.
What capacities are available in Sumner general purpose material lifts?
Sumner material lifts are offered in capacities of 300 lb, 650 lb, 800 lb, and 1,100 lb. The 300 lb model features a steel frame and fixed base, while higher-capacity models are available with aluminum or steel frames and adjustable bases. Fork lengths are either 21 in or 28 in, and all models have a width across forks of 21-1/2 in. The lifts are equipped with swivel casters, and some include brakes and outriggers for added stability. This range allows selection based on load weight and workspace constraints.
What is the difference between Sumner material lifts with and without outriggers?
Sumner material lifts with outriggers have an adjustable base that extends for increased stability when lifting loads at height. Models without outriggers have a more compact base, suitable for confined spaces where maneuverability is prioritized. Outrigger-equipped models are typically chosen for applications requiring additional support, such as lifting to elevated platforms. Both configurations are available in various capacities and frame materials. The choice depends on the specific load, lifting height, and available floor space.
Are Sumner material lifts available with aluminum or steel frames?
Yes, Sumner material lifts are available with either aluminum or steel frames. Aluminum frames reduce the overall weight of the lift, making them easier to transport and position, while steel frames offer greater durability and are often used in heavier-duty applications. For example, the 650 lb and 800 lb models come in both aluminum and steel versions. The 1,100 lb model is available with an aluminum frame. The frame material affects the weight and handling characteristics but does not change the load capacity.
What are the typical applications for Sumner material lifts?
Sumner material lifts are used in industrial and construction settings for lifting and moving heavy equipment, pipe, and materials. Common applications include HVAC installation, electrical contracting, machinery moving, and general maintenance. The lifts are designed to fit through standard doorways and operate in confined spaces. With capacities up to 1,100 lb, they can handle a range of loads. The invertible forks allow for flexible positioning, and the swivel casters enable maneuverability. These features make them suitable for plant engineers and maintenance teams requiring portable lifting solutions.
