INDIVIDUALLY
COMPLETE SOLUTION FOR YOUR INDUSTRY
Zeilhofer Handling Technology's manipulators, lifting axes, and lifting aids are used in over 15 industries. Key application areas include the automotive and e-mobility sectors, foundries, the glass and window industry, logistics, food production, and mechanical engineering. In each industry, these systems handle the ergonomic, safe, and precise movement of heavy or unwieldy loads, thus relieving strain on the operator.
SCOPE
01 Automotive industry & E-mobility
The automotive industry tolerates no compromises. Cycle times are tightly calculated, components are expensive, and safety requirements are paramount, especially for high-voltage storage systems and traction batteries. Our lifting axes, manipulators, and lifting systems have been in use for years at leading OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, including in the VW ID series production lines.
What sets us apart from standard solutions: We don't think in terms of lifting aids, but in terms of processes. Every system we deliver is tailored to your cycle time, your component, and your assembly strategy. From the gripper to the safety controller that only allows placement in a defined end position.
SCOPE
02 FOUNDRY
Foundries are among the most demanding environments for handling technology: extreme heat, dirt, heavy blanks, and tight time windows between casting and removal. Zeilhofer systems are robust enough for these daily conditions and precise enough to move delicate castings without damage.
Our manipulators and lifting axes grip hot blanks, transport molds, and precisely position castings without operator contact or tool wear due to operator error. Magnetic systems, heat-resistant grippers, and robust steel constructions make our systems the most durable investment you can make in your foundry.
SCOPE
03 Glass & Window Industry
Glass panes and window elements are large, heavy, and incredibly fragile. Conventional lifting with straps and cranes leaves pressure marks, causes waste, and is taxing on your employees' backs and nerves. Our vacuum systems and suction devices grip glass gently, precisely, and safely, whether it's single-pane glass, laminated safety glass, or coated specialty glass.
Our manipulators allow large discs to be swiveled, rotated, and positioned with millimeter precision using just one hand, without effort or damage. The result: less waste, shorter assembly times, and employees who are still able to work at the end of their shift.
SCOPE
04 Logistics & Packaging
Logistics companies struggle daily with two problems simultaneously: speed and health. Heavy packages, monotonous movements, and tight deadlines take their toll in the form of sick leave, employee turnover, and declining productivity. Zeilhofer systems solve both problems at once.
Our ZH lifting platform travels without infrastructure to wherever it's needed. Our manipulators grip boxes, sacks, containers, and pallets and set them down precisely, without the operator feeling a single kilogram. Less downtime. Increased throughput. Improved ergonomics for your operational safety.
AREAS OF APPLICATION
06 Mechanical Engineering & Metalworking
In mechanical engineering, every component is unique and every handling step a potential cost factor. Whether heavy tools, precision assemblies, or bulky machine components: Zeilhofer manipulators and lifting axes lift, rotate, and position with the repeatability your process demands.
We understand the language of mechanical engineering. Our designers work with the same CAD tools, the same standards, and the same commitment to quality. The result: systems that integrate seamlessly into your production lines, without compromising precision or requiring rework during commissioning.
SCOPE
07 Food & Beverage Industry
The food industry has the strictest requirements for materials, surfaces, and handling processes. Our systems are manufactured from food-grade materials, are designed for easy cleaning, and can be equipped with hygienic suction cups and grippers that meet IP protection classes.
Heavy containers, barrels, crates, and sacks are handled effortlessly and with minimal strain on the back—in production areas, cold storage facilities, and bottling plants. Fewer injuries, less product damage, more output. That's the result our customers in the food industry experience every day.
SCOPE
08 ROLLERS & PIPES
Rolls, coils, tubes, and sleeves are among the most treacherous materials to handle: they are heavy, unwieldy, often round, and therefore inherently unstable. Standard grippers fail, crane forks scratch the surface, and manual loading into machines is dangerous and time-consuming.
Zeilhofer solves this with systems designed precisely for these geometries: mandrel holders for cores and coils, prism grippers for pipes, and suction cups for paper and film rolls. Each device is tailored to your material, your machine, and your cycle time. The operator guides, the system supports. Precise insertion into machines, mandrels, or unwinding devices without force, damage, or downtime.
Whether paper, steel, plastic or textile: wherever rolls and tubes need to be moved, Zeilhofer systems are the most economical and ergonomic solution on the market.
SCOPE
09 Other Applications & Special Solutions
Some tasks defy categorization. The component is too unusual, the process too complex, the boundary conditions too specific. Zeilhofer exists precisely for these cases.
In over 25 years, we have never solved a problem the same way twice — because no two problems are the same. Whether it's handling sensitive electronic assemblies in medical technology, turning heavy presses in toolmaking, installing entry systems in railway carriages, or robot-guided assembly in the electronics industry: We develop, design, and manufacture the solution — and deliver it CE-compliant, turnkey, and fully documented.
Our promise is simple: Bring us your problem. If it's physically solvable, we'll solve it. And if others have said "that's impossible"—then ask us for a second opinion. That's often when we're at our strongest.
FAQ / Q&A
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT APPLICATIONS
01 In which industries are Zeilhofer lifting aids used?
Zeilhofer Handling Technology supplies over 15 industries.
