The Sitecraft Crate Lightweight Electric Lifter is a compact steel crate lifter built for day-to-day crate handling and warehouse lifting where manoeuvrability, control and operator safety are key. It suits production supply, dispatch, stores, warehousing and packing areas handling totes and crates that need regular lifting, staging or transfer at bench height or into racking access zones.

With electric lift and a lightweight frame, the unit reduces manual strain and helps teams position crates more consistently during pick-and-place and replenishment tasks. This model is optimised for crate workflows where a stable platform is preferred, helping keep containers level during movement and placement.

As a lightweight steel unit, it’s designed for frequent handling up to 125kg without stepping into heavy-duty capacity. For higher loads and more demanding cycles, choose the heavy-duty crate lifter. For washdown or hygiene environments, the Crate lightweight stainless steel option is the better fit. If you’re comparing configurations across the range, Sitecraft’s purpose-built lifters guide can help.

Attachment Options for Crate Handling

Stainless Steel Platform – 60kg: stable support for lighter crates/totes and repetitive pick-and-place tasks
