Stacking graphite crucibles requires controlled lifting and placement. Project 37344 is a custom Alum‑a‑Lift designed to handle individual crucibles weighing up to 60 lbs. [27 kgs.], helping operators move three unstacked crucibles from a cart into a single stack with less manual lifting. 

A powered clamp grips each crucible, while a “safe to lift” indicator light gives operators clear feedback before lifting. Ergonomic handles support maneuvering during pickup and placement, and a QX battery charger supports charging between uses. 

By supporting the weight during stacking, this graphite crucible handling lift reduces operator strain and creates a more repeatable workflow. The same approach could be adapted for other crucibles or stackable process containers, with clamping tailored to the load’s shape and material.
