Lifting equipment for industrial mixers
ALS Group
The ALS Group is Agitation Resources’ line of lifting stands and accessories for raising, lowering and positioning mixers over totes, drums and other process vessels. A lifting stand provides the vertical travel needed to move the shaft and impeller clear of the vessel for changeover, cleaning, inspection or service. The stand is configured around the mixer weight, shaft length, vessel height, required travel and available operating space.
Configured for the Mixer and Vessel
The support structure, mounting arrangement and lifting method are selected for the mixer and the way the equipment will be used. Proper alignment helps the mixer enter and leave the vessel without contacting the opening, tank wall or internal components. The stand must also support the operating loads from the mixer and maintain the required position during use. Agitation Resources can configure the lifting equipment as part of a complete tote, drum or portable mixing system.
Access and Maintenance
Controlled vertical positioning improves access to the shaft, impeller and mounting components during cleaning and service. Stops, locks, controls and other safety features are selected according to the lifting method and site requirements. Lift capacity, vertical travel, overall dimensions and actuation details are confirmed for the specific ALS configuration before installation. Lifting stands are engineered and manufactured in Upstate South Carolina alongside the mixers they support.
Send the mixer weight, shaft length and vessel height for an ALS configuration sized to the equipment.
Our Lifting Equipment: ALS Group
The lifting method is chosen for how the stand will be used. Pneumatic lifts suit frequent changeover where plant air is available. Counter-balanced and mechanical gear arrangements suit manual operation.
Mounting follows the space available. Wall mounting saves floor area, freestanding stands carry their own load, and roll-around versions let one mixer serve several vessels.
Frames are steel or aluminum, with corrosion-resistant coatings where the environment calls for it. Stands are configured for top-entry and portable mixers.

Specifications
| Mounting Type | Wall-mounted, freestanding, or roll-around |
|---|---|
| Lift Mechanism | Pneumatic, counter-balanced, or mechanical |
| Capacity | Built to the mixer weight, shaft length and travel the application requires |
| Mobility | Stationary or mobile roll-around configurations available |
| Construction | Heavy-duty steel or aluminum frames with optional corrosion-resistant coatings |
- Top-entry mixer positioning and height adjustment
- Raising the shaft and impeller clear of a tote or drum for changeover
- Batch production where the mixer moves between vessels
- Pilot-scale and development work needing movable equipment
- Vessel access for cleaning and inspection between batches
The ALS Group covers lifting stands for raising and lowering a mixer over a vessel. The stand carries the mixer, shaft and impeller, so the assembly can be moved clear of the tank without handling the vessel itself.
- Lift mechanism: pneumatic where plant air is available, or counter-balanced and mechanical gear drives for manual operation.
- Configurations: wall-mounted, freestanding and roll-around, chosen for the floor space and how many vessels the mixer serves.
- Construction: steel or aluminum frames, with corrosion-resistant coatings available for the environment.
- Vessel access: lifting the shaft out of the tank opens it up for cleaning and inspection between batches.
Send the mixer weight and model, the shaft length, the vessel height and the travel required and we will size the stand.

Top-Entry Mixers
AHM GROUP
Heavy-duty top-entry mixers designed for industrial tanks and vessels, available in direct-drive or gear-reduced configurations for reliable, long-term performance.
Pressurized Tank Mixers
ASM GROUP
Sealed and pressurized mixers for closed systems, engineered to handle fugitive emissions, vacuum conditions, and tank pressure with durable mechanical seals.
Side-Entry Mixers
ASN GROUP
Compact and efficient side-entry mixers, ideal for tanks where top-entry installation is impractical or limited by structural constraints.
Portable Mixers
ARIP Group
Lightweight and rugged portable mixers, available in clamp-on or cup-mounted configurations for flexible use with drums, totes, and small tanks.
Small Batch Mixers
ATM Group
Tote and drum mixers with rail, lid or bung mounting and impellers properly selected for blending, dispersion or solids suspension.
Static in-line Mixers
ALI Group
Static in-line mixers have fixed internal elements and no moving parts. They blend miscible liquids as the product flows through the pipe. Cleaning and inspection requirements depend on the product and operating conditions.
Impellers for industrial mixers
We select and manufacture impellers for the required flow and shear. The design depends on the fluid properties, tank geometry and mixing objective.
