Belt Hoist ATHLO belt – Plastic Granulate Production – 1×1,6t
In plastic granulate production, large amounts of fine plastic particles accumulate in the air and place high stress on lifting equipment. Conventional chain hoists quickly reach their limits, as dust clogs the chains and makes them unusable within a short time. To ensure smooth operation, a reliable, clean and low-maintenance lifting solution is essential.
The belt hoist ATHLO belt reliably lifts and holds big bags filled with plastic granulate until they are completely emptied. Its belt-based lifting mechanism operates without lubrication, eliminating the main cause of contamination and downtime typically found with chain hoists in such environments. The belt hoist runs quietly, cleanly and consistently – even under the demanding conditions of granulate production.
Since the beginning of the year 2025, ATHLO belt has been in operation and has proven highly reliable. Based on these positive results, the operator now plans to gradually replace all chain hoists with belt hoists, increasing efficiency, extending service life, and significantly improving operational safety.
ELECTRIC BELT HOIST ATHLO belt
ATHLO belt presents its advantages wherever cleanliness and safety are important. The numerous series features enable reliable and always safe operation. It can also be optimally adapted to individual requirements. In addition to the already available models with stainless steel components, further components in stainless steel will follow.

Crane References
Optimal use of space
Minimal C-dimensions enable the optimal building design and the maximum use of the available working space.
Safety & Cleanliness
The high-tenacity and durable hoisting belt is ideal for applications in clean environments. The overload protection installed as standard prevents hoisting in the event of overload. Another protective device is the overheat protection, which is also installed as standard.
Extended offer
Numerous options such as frequency inverter, hot-dip galvanized trolley plates, construction elements with stainless steel components, Dynema belt and models for further loads will follow.
