Variable Frequency Drives (VFD)

CanLift has created a custom line of NEMA1 and NEMA 3R/4 Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) products that our expert in-house team has developed in partnership with our customers in order to determine their precise needs and requirements. VFDs have myriad useful applications:

  • Power generation
  • Oil and gas pumping
  • Industrial or manufacturing conveyor belts
  • Pulp and paper mills
  • Mining
  • Fans
  • Chillers
  • Rock crushers
  • Extruders

Benefits of the Product

  • Reduces disturbances to the power grid
  • Controls the operating speed of the motor
  • Adjusts the torque force
  • Controls multiple motors from one unit
  • Reduces wear-and-tear on equipment
  • Extends the service life of a motor
  • Withstands adverse envrionmental conditions and harsh terrain (offshore and desert use)
  • Reduces energy consumption and cost

We have four VFD options in our line that have differing capacities and features depending on your particular requirements.
