Sharpe Mixers offers lift stands for portable mixers. These stands allow the mixer to be raised and lowered into and out of the tank with no manual labor. The stands are mobile, letting you use one mixer for more than one tank.

The lift stands are available in electrically operated, Model ELS, or pneumatically operated, Model ALS, versions. Stainless Steel and Mild Steel Construction options are available.

Three sizes are available with height adjustability ranges of 46” to 140”. Electrically operated unit includes 115V motor. Both units include NEMA 4 controls.

The ELS stand depicted here is special design, specifically for use in Tote Bins, those cubic tanks, metallic and plastic, 200 – 400 gallons, that are used for transporting and storing chemicals in processing plants. Tote Bins have a 6” opening in in the top center for filling and emptying.

The stand features a horizontal arm that allows the mixer to reach over the top of the container and reach the opening. The mixer features a collapsible impeller, allowing installation of impellers larger than 6”, as dictated by the process requirements. Counterweights are installed on the opposite end of the extension to balance the stand and reduce drag on the mechanism that raises and lowers the stand.
