KNOWLEDGE FROM PRACTICE
GUIDE TO HANDLING TECHNOLOGY
Objective guidance on lifting technology, selection and use of manipulators and lifting aids. The guides from Zeilhofer Handling Technology answer the most frequently asked questions from practical experience, impartially and without sales pressure.
CATEGORY 01
SYSTEM AND SELECTION
Selecting the right lifting aid depends on load capacity, drive type, and level of automation. This guide compares manipulators, lifting axles, hoists, cranes, and chain hoists for loads up to 1,200 kg and explains when pneumatic, electric, or manual drives are economical and how to identify a suitable manipulator manufacturer.
