Bulk Bag Lifting Bracket Load Test
A Young Industries Bulk Bag Lifting Bracket.
Young Industries manufactures a variety of bulk bag unloading systems that utilize a hoist to lift and position the bag. Lifting brackets for strap type bulk bags are designed, manufactured, and tested to meet the 4000 lb. rating of the system. We manufacture several types of bulk bag lifting brackets. All our lifting brackets are tested as required by OSHA Rigging and Material Handling standards.
