Cemetery Coffin Lifters: operation, types and advantages

WHAT IS A COFFIN LIFTER?

A coffin lifter is a device designed specifically to simplify the lifting and moving of coffins in cemeteries. These tools are essential to ease the workload on operators and to ensure respectful treatment of the deceased. Coffin lifters can be of different types, including electric, manual, and tracked, each with its own distinct features and advantages.

These devices not only improve the efficiency of cemetery operations, but also contribute to a safer and more comfortable working environment for operators. With a wide range of options available, coffin lifters are a key asset in coffin handling. 

Electric Coffin Lifters

Electric coffin lifters are equipped with powerful motorized technology that enables smooth and precise lifting of coffins. These devices are controlled by an electronic system that ensures smooth and safe movement. Due to their automation, electric coffin lifters reduce the physical effort required of operators, allowing lifting to be carried out with minimal effort. This not only improves the efficiency of operations, but also reduces the risk of repetitive strain injuries.

The Electric Coffin Lifter 4.20 Model 

The electric wheel-mounted coffin lifter offers a compact and versatile design, ideal for mobility in confined spaces and indoor corridors. With 260 mm diameter wheels and a choice of fixed and front-wheel moto-wheels, it ensures easy movement. Despite its small size, it is one of the most compact devices on the market. The sturdy painted steel frame, only 780 mm wide and 1400 mm long, provides a solid structure.

Travel is provided by a rubber motor-wheel drive with considerable power of momentum, making it possible to move even on challenging climbs. With a wide steering angle of nearly 90°, it offers excellent maneuverability. 24V power is provided by a dual battery, accompanied by an electronic battery charger included in the base frame.

Proportional controls simplify the approach to the work point, ensuring precision without risk of collision. Operator and coffin lifting is made possible by a solid extruded aluminum column with nylon sliding rollers, offering smoothness and requiring minimal maintenance.

The platform is adaptable with a single or double basket for two operators, while the roller coffin-holder platform is suitable for both side and front burial. The possibility of covering the roller table for transporting equipment is offered. The coffin-holder table, which can be adjusted manually or by electric cylinder, facilitates loading due to its low ground clearance. It is possible to carry out burials of up to 4 meters thanks to the elevating coffin-holder platform.

In the case of the single basket, it can be installed on either side and stored on the roller conveyor top during travel, remaining comfortably in silhouette. The work basket, made of lightweight and durable welded aluminum tubing, completes this Electric Wheeled Coffin Meter, providing a complete and highly functional piece of equipment for cemetery needs.

Manual Coffin Lifters

Manual coffin lifters, on the other hand, require the direct physical intervention of operators to lift and move coffins. While less automated than electric ones, manual iron lifters offer a more tactile level of control and greater sensitivity in maneuvering. This option is often preferred in settings where greater attention to detail and personalized lifting management is required. 

Coffin Lifter: 4.20 Manual Model

The Manual wheel-mounted coffin lifter model offers a compact frame to facilitate passage in narrow spaces and interior aisles. With 260 mm diameter wheels that are fixed at the rear and swivel 360° with brakes at the front, it provides easy and efficient handling. Despite its small size, it is one of the most compact devices on the market. The sturdy painted steel frame, only 780 mm wide and 1400 mm long, ensures a solid base.

The translation is done through manual pushing by the operator, made easy by the large-diameter wheels. A wide steering angle thanks to the 360-degree swivel wheels ensures exceptional maneuverability. Controls for lifting the operator and coffin are simple and intuitive.

The structure includes a sturdy extruded aluminum column with nylon sliding rollers, offering high smoothness and requiring minimal maintenance. The platform can be equipped with a single or double basket for two operators. The roller coffin-holder platform is suitable for both side and front burial, and offers the ability to cover the roller conveyor for transporting equipment.

The coffin-holding plane, adjustable manually or by electric cylinder, simplifies coffin loading due to its low height from the ground. With the elevatable coffin-holder platform, burials up to 4 meters can be carried out. In the case of the single basket, it can be installed on both sides and stored on the roller conveyor top during movement. The work basket, made of lightweight and durable welded aluminum tubing, completes this Wheeled Coffin Lifter, providing a high-quality and practical working experience.

Tracked Coffin Lifter

Tracked coffin lifters are distinguished by their ability to cope with difficult and uneven terrain. Equipped with durable tracks, these devices can navigate through rough terrain, such as that often found in cemeteries. This feature makes them ideal for cemeteries located in hilly locations or with uneven pavements. Tracked lifters offer greater stability when lifting and moving, minimizing the risk of accidents.

Coffin Lifter: Tracked Model 

The gasoline-powered tracked coffin lifter offers a compact solution ideal for smoothly passing through tight spaces and navigating difficult and slippery terrain. With a width of only 80 centimeters and a length of 130 centimeters, it ranks among the smallest and most compact on the market. Sturdy rubber tracks allow agile movement over any type of terrain without damaging it.

Equipped with a 10 HP gasoline-powered internal combustion engine with electric start for handling, lifting is provided by a 24 V battery-powered system. Electronic battery charger is included as standard on the base frame.

Simple proportional lever controls allow precise approach to the working point without the risk of collision. The sturdy extruded aluminum column with nylon sliding rollers provides high smoothness and requires minimal maintenance.

The platform can be customized with a single or double basket for two operators, while the roller coffin-holder table is suitable for both side and front burial. A roller conveyor cover can be requested for transporting equipment and bricks. The coffin-holder table, which can be adjusted manually or by electric cylinder, facilitates coffin loading due to its low height from the ground and allows burial up to 4.2 meters thanks to the elevating coffin-holder table.

In the case of the single basket, the latter can be installed on either side and conveniently stored on the roller conveyor during travel. The work basket is made of lightweight and durable welded aluminum tubing, offering a complete piece of equipment for a wide range of funeral needs.

Overall Benefits

The use of lifters, regardless of type, offers a number of significant benefits for funeral operations. These devices improve operational efficiency, enabling faster and smoother service. They also reduce operator fatigue and the risk of injury, contributing to a safer working environment. The variety of options available, including electric, manual and crawler lifters, allows operators to choose the solution that best suits the specific needs of the cemetery.

Conclusion

Cemetery coffin lifters are a crucial element in optimizing operations within cemeteries, greatly improving efficiency and safety. Whether you prefer electric casualty lifters for their automation, manual lifters for more intimate tactile control, or tracked lifters for tackling challenging terrain, each option offers distinct advantages. Investing in the selection of the most appropriate wounded lifter for the specific needs of the cemetery can result in the overall optimization of funeral operations.
