THE BUSINESS CASE

We take the weight off your shoulders

Heavy, repetitive lifting causes injuries, downtime, and increased employee turnover. Our manipulators allow a single person to move heavy, bulky, or unwieldy components with near-weightless ease. This transforms your most demanding lifting operations into safe, fast, and repeatable processes.

01
Reduce injury costs

Less physical strain means fewer absences due to lifting injuries and lower follow-up costs.

03
Reduce employee turnover

Ergonomic workplaces make demanding tasks permanently feasible and easier to fill.

02
Increase throughput

A person can move heavy components faster, with less fatigue throughout the entire shift.

04
Strengthening occupational safety

Support your ergonomics and occupational safety program with measurably safer processes.

IN PRACTICE

From the assembly line to the foundry

Wherever operators lift heavy, bulky, or unwieldy parts, our systems transform a two-person load into a one-person movement. Here are some real-world examples:

Automotive & Tier-1

Handling of body parts, castings and battery carriers on assembly and pre-assembly lines, quickly, repeatably and ergonomically.

Barrels, tires & machine parts

Safe movement of barrels, tires and bulky machine components, even in confined workspaces.

Metal, glass & wheels

Lifting of sheet metal, glass panes and heavy rollers without damage and without straining the operator.
