Lifting aid for pallets: palletising and depalletising
Lifting aid for pallets makes palletising and depalletising heavy boxes, sacks and containers safe and ergonomic. Instead of stacking loads by hand, a manipulator guides them pendulum-free up to 1,200 kg, layer by layer and precisely. Zeilhofer Handhabungstechnik from Holzkirchen, Germany, engineers every solution individually. For carton handling specifically, our guide Lifting aids for cardboard boxes goes deeper. For the full overview, see Lifting aids for production and i

Handling of cardboard boxes at a fan manufacturer
At a fan manufacturer, a Zeilhofer lifting aid handles cardboard boxes in shipping and order picking. Heavy, bulky boxes are picked up pendulum-free, stacked and set down β relieving staff and speeding up the packing process. Depending on the weight, vacuum area grippers or clamping grippers are used for cardboard. More on the manipulator as a lifting aid. #LiftingAid #Cardboard #Logistics #Ergonomics #zhht

Pneumatic handling manipulator sets new standards in heavy box logistics compared to hall and jib cranes
A pneumatic handling manipulator has several specific advantages in the logistics industry compared to an indoor crane & jib crane when handling heavy wooden boxes ππ¦π’βοΈ: 1. Power support and ergonomics π¦Ύ Our manipulator uses compressed air to assist with #lifting and #moving heavy #loads. This significantly reduces the amount of effort required by staff and protects the health of employees. Especially when repeatedly lifting heavy boxes, as is often the case in #logistic

Only one lifting aid for products and pallets βοΈ
With the #manipulator shown and the integrated #suction device, components of different sizes and weights can be picked up precisely and ergonomically. After the components have been sucked in and are almost weightless, the employee can position them exactly in the designated box, which is located on a pallet. π¦Ύ The same device can then be used to move the entire pallet, including the box on it. The manipulator thus enables two different work steps to be carried out, which o

Our manipulators offer several advantages over chain hoists & cranes ββοΈποΈ:
#Precision: Manipulators enable precise positioning and handling of loads. In contrast, chain hoists & cranes are often limited to simple vertical movements and offer less control over the precise positioning of the load. π― #Versatility: Manipulators are more versatile than chain hoists and jib cranes. They can handle a wide range of loads, including irregularly shaped or delicate objects. Manipulators can also perform multiple functions, such as rotating or tilting the load

What is the lifting axis ZH90 and what advantages does it offerβ
A #lift axis is also called a rigid lift axis or telescopic lift axis. Depending on the version, it is moved freely by the operator, or carries out #collaborative and/or fully #automatic #lifting movements and #lifting movements. They serve to guide the load rigidly, eccentrically and safely. π¦Ύ Lifting axles are hung in a wide variety of rail and smooth-running rail systems, which are attached to a raised steel structure or an attached steel structure. This enables movement
