You love this. You just don't love what it's doing to your body.

A deep super packed with honey can top 90 pounds. You bend, you brace, you lift — and lately your back reminds you about it for the next three days.

Here's what nobody wants to say out loud: for a lot of beekeepers, it isn't the bees or the winters that end the hobby. It's an injury. One bad lift, and suddenly the thing that gave your week its rhythm is gone.

You shouldn't have to trade your bees for your back. That's exactly why we build these lifters.

Let the lifter carry the weight. You do the beekeeping.

Simple, sturdy, and made to work with the hives you already have — no rebuilding your whole operation.

  1. 1

    Roll it up to the hive

    Two wheels and a steel frame. Bring it right to the stand, on grass or gravel.

  2. 2

    Lift with a touch — or a turn

    The electric models raise up to 250 lbs at the push of a button. Prefer manual? The hand-crank model gives you the same lift at your own pace.

  3. 3

    Work every box, back-free

    Set supers aside, get into the brood chamber, do a full inspection — without a single heavy lift. Then stack it all back the same easy way.

Built like American farm equipment — because that's what it is.

Made in the USA, by hand

Every lifter is built to order right here in America from heavy-gauge steel. No flimsy imported tubing, no plastic where there should be metal.

250 lbs of lifting muscle (300 with rails)

Handles your fullest deep supers with room to spare. Every lifter works with standard 10- and 12-frame Langstroth equipment, with optional 8-frame compatibility for $20.

Simple to trust, tough to last

This isn't a gadget. It's a tool you'll hand down. Rugged frame, straightforward mechanism, and very little that can ever go wrong.

A real warranty, real people

We stand behind every lifter with our 10-year warranty — and a team that actually answers. We're beekeepers too. We get it.

Three ways to lift. One less thing to worry about.

Pick the model that fits how you keep bees. Every one is made to order, by hand, in America.

From beekeepers who weren't ready to quit

“I received my lifter a few weeks back, came packaged very well, this lifter is built well, I used it this weekend for the first time, I worked 30 hives, took me all day but when I got done my back felt great. Most of the time it takes me about 2 days to do this work. This lifter is not cheap by any means, but well worth the money. You folks make a great product. Thank You.”

Honest answers to what you're probably thinking

It's a lot of money for a hobby.
It is an investment — we won't pretend otherwise. But think about what it's really buying: another 10, 15, maybe 20 years of doing something you love. Weigh it against one ER visit, one missed season, or the day you'd have to give the bees away.
I've always lifted by hand. Do I really need it?
Maybe not today. But most beekeepers who reach out waited until after the injury — and wished they'd acted before. This is how you stay ahead of it, on your terms, while it's still your choice.
Will it work with my hives?
It is built for standard 10- and 12-frame Langstroth equipment. Compatibility with 8-frame hives is available as a $20 modification per lifter.
What if something goes wrong with it?
It's covered by our 10-year warranty, and it's built simple on purpose — there's very little to fail. And a real person is always an email away.

You've got more seasons in you. Let's make sure your back agrees.

Every lifter is built to order, by hand, right here in America — so the sooner you reserve yours, the sooner the heavy lifting stops being your job.
