Lift Smarter, Not Harder: The Professional Solution for Hive Transportation
Beekeeping is physically demanding work. Moving a fully-laden hive, which can easily exceed 100 lbs (45 kg), poses a significant risk of back strain and injury. The HONESTBEE Ergonomic Two-Person Foldable Hive Lifter is a purpose-built tool designed to make this essential task safer, easier, and more efficient for commercial beekeepers and hobbyists alike.
Heavy-Duty Construction and Intelligent Design
Engineered for reliability and longevity, our Hive Lifter is constructed from high-quality materials to withstand the rigors of daily apiary work.
- Robust Tubular Steel Frame: The entire lifter is built from strong tubular steel, providing an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It can easily handle the weight of multi-story hives without flexing or bending.
- Durable Powder-Coated Finish: A sleek black powder coating protects the steel frame from rust, corrosion, and scratches, ensuring a long service life even when exposed to the elements.
- Reinforced and Welded: All joints are fully welded for maximum rigidity, and strategically placed crossbars on the base and handles prevent twisting under load, guaranteeing stability.
- Smart Folding Mechanism: Featuring secure central pivot points, the Hive Lifter collapses into a compact form. This intelligent design makes it incredibly easy to transport in a vehicle and store in a workshop without taking up valuable space.
Unmatched Functionality and Ergonomics
This Hive Lifter isn't just strong—it's designed with the beekeeper's body in mind.
- Safe Two-Person Operation: The design distributes the hive's weight between two people, drastically reducing the load on any single individual and virtually eliminating dangerous solo lifting of heavy colonies.
- Ergonomic Angled Handles: The handles are angled to promote a natural, upright lifting posture. This minimizes strain on the back and shoulders, allowing for a safer and more comfortable lift.
- Simple and Secure Use: To use, simply unfold the Hive Lifter, slide the flat base under the hive's bottom board, and lift in unison. The frame securely cradles the hive, preventing slips and jarring movements that can disturb the colony.
Dimensions and Compatibility
Our Hive Lifter is sized to be the perfect companion for the most common hive setups in the industry.
- Open Dimensions: Approx. 110 cm (43.3") L x 50 cm (19.7") W
- Folded Dimensions: A compact 21" x 20" (approx. 53 cm x 51 cm)
- Compatibility: Perfectly suited for standard 10-frame Langstroth hives, Flow Hives, and other similarly sized beehives.
