Zeilhofer Handling Technology GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1999 by Johann Zeilhofer as a company for lifting aids and manipulators. The company was initially based in Feldkirchen near Munich.

In the first few years, the company gathered the necessary know-how for the corresponding customer-specific column and ceiling manipulators. Due to ever-increasing demand, Johann Zeilhofer decided in 2005 to move to a larger administration and production building. In addition to production in Germany, existing production in Italy was also further expanded.

Since growth continued continuously and very dynamically in the following years, the company decided in 2017 to build a spacious and modern production hall including an administration building on Konrad-Zuse-Str. 7 in Holzkirchen.

Over 50 employees now work there on around 2,000 square meters.

 

The Holzkirchen location is around 45 minutes from Munich Airport and only around 25 minutes from the city of Munich. The new building offers not only employees, but also existing and potential customers optimal opportunities to experience our know-how live. Not only are there expansion options for office and production areas, but with the spacious showroom there is also the opportunity to test the lifting aids and manipulators yourself.

 

We can also check all products and special solutions in detail together with national and international customers during a preliminary acceptance test. Zeilhofer Handling Technology also offers potential customers the opportunity to use their products in a test run in advance in order to develop a tailor-made solution.

At the same time as the construction of the new headquarters, the second generation also started working in the family business. Since 2017, Julian Zeilhofer has been managing director of Zeilhofer HHT GmbH & together with his father Johann Zeilhofer. Co. KG.

 

Since 2020, new products such as the ZH lifting axis and the ZH hoist have been added
the portfolio. These offer customers from different industries a wide variety of handling solutions.

A manipulator is a mechanical lifting aid used to move, position, or handle loads without the operator having to directly touch the load. More specifically, a manipulator is a mobile handling system that can grasp, hold, move, and precisely place objects. It can be manually, electrically, pneumatically, or hydraulically operated—often a combination of these.

Typical components 🔧

  • Gripper or suction/clamping device (to hold the load)

  • Arms and joints (for mobility in multiple axes)

  • Control (manual, semi-automatic or automated)

  • Counterweight system or weight compensation

Typical areas of application and use 📚

  • Automotive industry (e.g. installing windows or dashboards)

  • Mechanical engineering (e.g. parts handling on CNC machines)

  • Logistics (e.g. carton or bag handling)

  • Packaging and palletizing

  • Medical and cleanroom technology

Advantages of the manipulator / articulated arm manipulator

  • Ergonomic working

    • Reduces physical strain on operators

    • Supports overhead work or hard-to-reach areas

  • Security

    • Dangerous or hot parts can be moved without contact

    • Reduces the risk of injury from lifting, crushing or tipping over

  • flexibility

    • Grips a wide variety of shapes and materials (e.g., cartons, sheet metal parts, barrels)

    • Adaptable to different workpieces and production areas

  • precision

    • Sensitive movements and precise positioning, e.g. in assembly or when inserting parts

  • Increased productivity

    • Faster cycle times than manual handling

    • Reduces downtime due to fatigue or incorrect operation

  • Space saving

    • Compact designs allow use even in confined work areas

  • Combinability

    • Can often be combined with lifting axes, rotary modules or swivel arms (e.g. to form a complete handling system)

01 ERONOMIE

Lasten werden nahezu schwerelos bewegt. Das entlastet die Mitarbeitenden körperlich und senkt belastungsbedingte Ausfälle.

02 Sicherheit

Die starre, pendelfreie Lastführung verhindert Ausschwingen. Heiße, scharfkantige oder schwere Teile werden kontrolliert gehandhabt.

03 Produktivität

Schnelleres, präziseres Handling als bei manueller Arbeit. Höhere Taktsicherheit und gleichbleibende Qualität.

04 Wirtschaftlichkeit

Weniger Krank-heitstage, weniger Produktschäden, höherer Durchsatz. Die Investition amortisiert sich über die Prozesskosten.

A rope manipulator is a special type of manipulator in which the load is picked up and guided via one or more ropes. A rope manipulator is a hand-held lifting and positioning system in which power is transmitted via flexible ropes. This allows the operator to move heavy objects smoothly and precisely.

Typical areas of application and use 📚

  • Assembly workstations (e.g. engine hoods, glass panes, tool changes)

  • Logistics & packaging (e.g. cartons, barrels, crates)

  • Food industry (with hygienic rope systems)

  • Laboratory or clean room technology (sensitive handling required)

Advantages of the rope manipulator / rope articulated arm manipulator✅

  • Ergonomic, easy handling

    • Load appears almost weightless due to automatic weight compensation

    • Operation with minimal effort possible (ideal for manual movement)

  • Sensitive positioning

    • Very precise, slow and controlled lowering or lifting possible

    • Ideal for assembly processes or sensitive workpieces

  • Fast, intuitive operation

    • Hand-held without complicated controls

    • Works with natural movement of the operator (direct, reactive control)

  • High flexibility

    • Can be combined with various grippers, suction lifters or special tools

    • Adaptable for changing products and tasks

  • Low stress on structures

    • The rope ensures that the load acts in a straight pulling direction – no lateral leverage forces

    • Gentle on load-bearing systems (e.g. cantilevers, aluminum portals)

  • Security

    • Balancers with load securing or automatic rope retraction prevent loads from falling

    • Optionally with two-hand operation, braking systems or emergency stop function

LINEAR LIFTING SYSTEM
Hubachse ZH90

01 Was ist der Unterschied zwischen einer Hubachse und einem Manipulator?

Eine Hubachse bewegt die Last linear in der Vertikalen, also präzise auf und ab. Ein Manipulator bewegt die Last über Arme und Gelenke in mehreren Achsen und deckt so einen größeren Arbeitsbereich ab. Beide führen die Last pendelfrei über eine starre Mechanik.

02 Wann lohnt sich eine Hebehilfe wirtschaftlich?

Eine Hebehilfe lohnt sich, wenn Lasten regelmäßig manuell gehoben werden. Sie senkt körperliche Belastung und Ausfallzeiten, erhöht Taktgeschwindigkeit und Prozesssicherheit. In der Regel amortisiert sich die Investition über reduzierte Krankheitstage und höhere Produktivität.

03 Welche Hebehilfe passt zu meiner Anwendung?

Das hängt von Last, Bewegungsart und Mobilität ab. Die Hubachse ZH90 eignet sich für präzises vertikales Heben bis 1.200 kg, der Gelenkarm-Manipulator für große Arbeitsradien bis 800 kg, der Seil-Manipulator für schnelles Handling bis 150 kg, der Hebelift ZH für mobilen Einsatz bis 100 kg.
