Description

LiftKar SAL
The extremely fast and light powered
stairclimbers for loads up to 170 kg.

Sounds familiar? Just carry the packs of tiles or crates of drinks one at a time up the stairs quickly, instead of doing a professional job from the beginning: with the LiftKar SAL. With the powered stairclimber from SANO the job is finished sooner and easier, and takes the strain off your back. The LiftKar SAL is as easy to use as a handtruck. Going up, the LiftKar SAL climbs onto the next step efficiently and precisely, all by itself. Going down, the motor acts like an eddy current brake. The load glides down smoothly, softly and safely - no need to press any buttons. Your back is protected and the risk of accidents is minimised.

The LiftKar SAL is available in four versions. This choice of models makes it ideal for applications in industry, retail and business as well as in schools, hospitals, commercial kitchens, office blocks and many more. Whatever your transport needs, the LiftKar SAL is available with the right equipment options.

3 different motor sizes are available that guarantee an optimum climbing performance of up to 48 steps per minute depending on the weight to be transported (up to 170 kg).

Models

Water bottles, crates of drinks or copy paper - the lightweight all-rounder with speed.

The LiftKar SAL UNI model corresponds to the classic handtruck and is particularly suitable for transporting water bottles, drinks crates, copy paper or folders.

The entire LiftKar SAL UNI range is characterised by its low weight of 19.5 kg. This makes transport even easier and quicker. The LiftKar SAL UNI is also easy to manoeuvre outdoors, especially on bumpy building site surfaces. Different tyres adapt the device to the operating conditions. Two handle variants available (loop or pistol grip). 

The LiftKar SAL UNI is available in three weight classes: 110 kg, 140 kg and 170 kg.

Upright posture and maximum control. Ideal for beer kegs, stacks of tyres, etc.

Thanks to the exceptionally ergonomic handle, the LiftKar SAL ERGO model allows you to maintain an upright posture on the stairs and keep maximum control over the goods being transported. Ideal for beer kegs, stacks of tyres, etc.

The whole LiftKar SAL ERGO range is characterised by its low weight of 20 kg. As a result you can handle transport jobs even easier and faster. The LiftKar SAL ERGO even assists you with a smoother ride outside, especially on bumpy construction sites. Different tyres can be fitted to match the unit to its operating conditions. Two handle variants available (loop or pistol grip). 

The LiftKar SAL ERGO is available in three weight classes: 110 kg, 140 kg and 170 kg.

Ideal for transporting white goods up and down stairs.

Whether compact floor grinders, oxygen cylinders or dishwashers - with the LiftKar SAL FOLD model, you can balance the load with ease. This means that even difficult loads can be transported safely, in an upright position and without straining your back.

The LiftKar SAL FOLD is ideal for transporting white goods up and down stairs. The patented folding mechanism allows the handlebar to be optimally adjusted to the load. Despite its low weight of 20 kg, the LiftKar SAL FOLD can also handle heavy loads.  

The LiftKar SAL FOLD is available in three weight classes: 110 kg, 140 kg and 170 kg.

Transport tall loads and keep them perfectly balanced.

Whether its fridges, tall oxygen cylinders or bulky stacks of armchairs - with the LiftKar SAL FOLD-L model, you can balance the load with ease. This means that even difficult loads can be transported safely, in an upright position and without straining your back.

The LiftKar SAL FOLD-L is ideally suited to transporting somewhat heavier loads in a perfectly balanced manner. Despite its low weight of 21 kg, the LiftKar SAL FOLD-L can also handle heavy loads. Two handle variants available (loop or pistol grip). 

The LiftKar SAL FOLD-L is available in three weight classes: 110 kg, 140 kg and 170 kg.
