Dyneema: stretch-resistant, very strong and predictable
We often use Dyneema hoists for our cleanroom cranes. Dyneema consists of very strong, long and lightweight synthetic fibers. This makes it very stretch-resistant: you can rely on a continuously identical lifting characteristic for your process, during the entire lifespan.
In our knowledge paper we explain the benefits Dyneema has for cleanrooms and controlled environments.

Semiconductor industry
Need to move heavy semiconductor manufacturing equipment accurately, safely and efficiently? Or position light components in exactly the right place?
With over 25 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, you can count on lifting equipment that meets all the requirements. And keep particulate emissions to an absolute minimum in the process.
Hightech
Does your company supply components or parts with ‘cleanliness grade' 4 or 2? We design your lifting equipment so that your production process meets the often highly demanding requirements and specifications set by your partner(s).
At the same time, a cleanroom crane speeds up your process, helping you create greater efficiency and achieve higher profitability.
Food industry
As a player in the food industry, you know full well: everything hinges on food safety. With our hygienic cleanroom cranes, you minimise the risk of potential microorganism formation and contamination.
Our cranes help you comply with laws and regulations, including sector-specific hygiene codes such as those set by the NVWA.
Biotechnology
Pharmaceutical and medical biotechnology processes demand the lowest possible levels of contamination. Preventing contamination is a priority. Process reliability and product safety are also equally important.
Our cleanroom cranes contribute to a safe and traceable process flow with parameters that can be adjusted in detail. They cause minimal to no contamination and prevent the risk of microorganism formation.
Battery industry
Cleanliness and safety are crucial in battery manufacturing. A cleanroom crane allows you to streamline your production process while ensuring that contamination dispersion is kept to a minimum.
Design choices can minimise the dispersion of particles such as dust and trapped contamination. With the right choice of materials, it is also possible to make your lifting equipment explosion-proof.
Aerospace
You need to be able to position or move aerospace objects carefully and appropriately. A non-contaminating and precise crane will help ease your R&D or production process.
Our lifting solutions are safe for use in developing the most sensitive parts, such as satellite components, robotic arms or sun shields.
Aviation
Lift critical aviation parts and components with extreme precision and minimal contamination. Ensuring that every single detail is correct.
Our cleanroom cranes are precise and leave no dust, liquid or paint particles behind. Therefore, cranes contribute significantly to reliability in terms of instruments and engines, etc.

TNO provides innovative customization with a unique Cleanroom
“Thanks to the expertise of the technicians, everything went smoothly.”
TNO was looking for a lifting facility for a new cleanroom to lift a valuable test object into a vacuum boiler.
Two overhead cranes turned out to be necessary. “The installation of the structure and the hanging of the cranes was precision work. The free space up to the ceiling is only a few millimeters.”

Frequently Asked Questions
.jpg?width=674&height=568&name=FAQ%20674%20x%20568%20(1).jpg)
Why only a hoist?
A hoist is ideal for situations where a lifting mechanism is needed at a fixed location. It provides just a vertical lifting movement ensuring simplicity and efficiency. Perfect for applications without horizontal movements and can be easily integrated into existing crane structures, making it cost-effective and efficient.
What is the maximum lifting capacity?
The lifting capacity of a hoist varies by type and is tailored to specific tasks. Band hoist CRH 1: up to 3,500 kg, BH2: up to 2,000 kg, BH 5: up to 10,000 kg. Rope hoist FRH: up to 20,000 kg. Electric chain hoist CCG: up to 3,200 kg. Hand hoist HCH/H100: up to 2,000 kg.
What materials are possible?
Band and rope hoists lift weight by using Dyneema rope or band, a clean and easy-to-clean material that requires little maintenance and hardly attracts dirt. Dyneema band layers can be stacked on top of each other, unlike Dyneema rope.
Chain hoists are made of stainless steel (RVS), ideal for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and food industries due to their cleanability. The choice depends on size, ISO class, type of cleanroom, and lifting weight. Therefore, the best outcome is discussed per situation.
