Ergonomics at the workplace Why use manual handling systems? In line with statutory standards and industrial safety regulations Increasingly health and safety at work is becoming more and more important. Our systems provide a significant contribution. They help improve workplace design to ensure that workers can adopt the most favourable posture in line with ergonomic recommendations. Thus, absenteeism due to sickness, particularly due to backache, can be avoided. At the same time you ensure that workplaces meet the requirements of statutory standards and industrial safety regulations. The...

Application examples in different industries Besides beeing used in traditional industries such as the automotive industry and its suppliers, engineering and metal processing, you can find ergonomic handling solutions in almost all branches of industries. Here are some examples:

Steel structure / Crane installations Steel structure If you require a steel structure for installing your crane system or handling equipment, we will be pleased to plan and install it for you. For this task, we have in-house steel structural engineers, the “Major Welding Certificate” and the appropriate equipment at our production facility. Suspension crane installations A wide variety of customised crane installations can be built from various steel or aluminium profile sections based on a comprehensive modular system. Profile sections The basic elements are steel or aluminium profile...

Slewing jib cranes / Pivot arms Pillar and wall-mounted slewing jib cranes are used in combination with rope balancers or chain hoists for simple handling operations. Their jibs are made of aluminium crane profiles featuring low dead weight in relation to their outreach and loading capacity. The jib can therefore be easily moved by hand. Pivot arms in light-duty design are combined with pneumatic rope balancers or electric rope winches. These units are fitted close to the pillar and thus offer the operator very easy handling, as only the low arm mass has to be moved. With pivot arms in...

Parallelogram devices Our parallelogram devices are manually guided manipulators with pneumatic support in the vertical direction. This design makes it possible to absorb torques and thus to pick up workpieces outside their centre of gravity. All devices are designed and manufactured in accordance with the latest regulations and standards. They feature the highest safety standards in compliance with the current regulations. They have been subjected to long-term trials (e.g. fatigue tests) in the test facility. All parallelogram devices operate particularly smoothly and require only low...

The parallelogram devices are supplied with an arm length of up to 3200 mm as standard. The arm length can be increased or shortened in line with requirements. They can be supplied with strokes of up to 1800 mm in the lifting direction. All rotating swivels and the stroke can be fitted with brakes as an option. A particularly compact design of our parallelogram is also available. It features optimised overall sizes and a significantly reduced dead load. It is used for handling small loads in restricted spaces and for short cycles. Thanks to a specially developed design software program, the...

Lifting axes Our lifting axes are pneumatically powered units. They are used for ergonomically rigid load guiding. They are used to guide loads easily and safely since hand movements are transferred direct to the load. They feature particularly low masses and offer smooth operation. The guide systems are hardened and ground ball bearing linear guides of machine-tool quality. Matching low-maintenance ball bearing runners are used which require only low manual forces for the lifting motion. Load capacities up to 300 kg and torques up to 2500 Nm are possible as standard. Lifting axes are...

Telescopic devices Telescopic devices are lifted and lowered by inside or outside running chains of electrically driven chain hoists. We offer these units as single or double telescopic sections with round guides (TR) or square guides (TV). They are particularly suitable for handling heavy workpieces (up to 1500 kg) and large torques (up to 5000 Nm) in long cycles. They can also be used in low buildings with double telescopic sections. Dimensioning of our lifting axes and telescopic devices is supported by a design software program. The relevant application data can be entered into the...
