Manual Anode Lifting Frame
Rugged, Hand-Operated Lifting for Anodes in Electrowinning & Plating
The Manual Anode Lifting Frame is a heavy-duty, hand-operated tool designed to safely lift and maneuver lead, copper, or alloy anodes in electrowinning cells, plating tanks, or storage areas. Built for durability in acidic and corrosive environments, it balances simplicity with strength - ideal for small to medium-scale operations where automation isn't required. Its ergonomic design ensures one-person operation, reducing labor costs while minimizing anode damage during handling.

Specification |
Why It Matters |
|
Material |
Heavy-gauge carbon steel (hot-dip galvanized) + stainless steel lifting hooks |
Withstands acid mist and electrolyte splashes; 10+ year service life in harsh conditions. |
|
Load Capacity |
Customized according to customer requirements |
Handles heavy anode batches (lead anodes weigh 150–200kg each). |
|
Lift Height |
1.5m – 2.5m (adjustable via chain block) |
Fits cell heights up to 2m; allows transfer to storage racks. |
|
Operation Method |
Manual chain block with ratchet lock |
Precise lifting control; ratchet prevents accidental lowering under load. |
|
Base Width |
800mm – 1200mm (customizable) |
Stable stance to avoid tipping; fits between standard cell rows. |
|
Compatibility |
Universal hooks fit anode busbars (100mm – 200mm width) |
Works with lead, copper, or alloy anodes for electrowinning/plating. |
How It Works
- Positioning: The crane operator positions the frame over the anode plates
- Engagement: The operator activates the lifting mechanism to engage with anode lugs
- Lifting: Once secure, the anodes are lifted by the crane
- Transport: The crane moves the frame with anodes to the target cell or area
- Placement & Release: Anodes are carefully lowered and released by the operator
Product Advantages
- Reinforced frame: Extra-thick steel (6mm) prevents bending under 800kg loads - critical for dense lead anodes.
- Wide base design: 1200mm width provides stability on uneven plant floors, reducing tip-over risk
- Hot-dip galvanization: Coating thickness ≥85μm ensures resistance to 5% sulfuric acid (tested for 5,000 hours with minimal rust).
- Stainless steel hooks: 316-grade steel resists pitting from electrolyte, ensuring secure grip on anode busbars.
- No power required: Operates via manual chain block - ideal for remote plants or areas with frequent power outages.
- Tool-free maintenance: Hooks and chain pins are easily replaceable; no specialized skills needed for upkeep.
Procurement & Application
|
Pain Point |
Our Solution |
|
Risk of injury from manual lifting of heavy anodes |
Reduces 2–3 workers per lift; chain block with 5:1 gear ratio makes lifting easy. |
|
Anode damage during transfer |
Rubber-padded hooks prevent chipping of lead anodes or bending of busbars. |
|
Limited budget for automation |
Cost-effective alternative to automatic frames (30–40% lower upfront cost). |
Challenge: A 3,000 TPA plant relied on 3 workers to lift 4 lead anodes (total 700kg) per cell, causing frequent delays and safety near-misses.
Solution: Deployed 2 Manual Anode Lifting Frames.
Result: Reduced lifting team to 1 worker per frame; anode handling time cut by 60%; zero injuries reported in 18 months.
