A Brief Overview Of Intelligent Lifting Devices


Are you interested in purchasing intelligent lifting devices? If so, you may have noticed that there are a lot of different options out there, apart from the more conventional hydraulic hoists, to choose from. Therefore it is imperative that you learn about the different devices on the market before making a purchase. This article will discuss a few of the more popular models out there in order to help get you started. A couple examples include the Free Standing Easy Arm and the Under Hung Easy Arm. These are both high quality machines that may be the perfect choice for you operation.

When trying to decide which intelligent lifting devices would be best for your workplace, first take a look at the Gorbel G Force. These machines are built for heavy duty cycles and will immediately adjust to changes in both weight and speed automatically. The company offers several different models, such as the IQ series; each model offering a different capacity and high speed. These machines offer many different features and optional accessories such as a remote side handle, slide on air hose, and an LCD hand controller which communicates important information like the system status and other diagnostics. These machines may be used in many different applications such as automotive, warehouse loading, and parts assembly.

Another line of intelligent lifting devices that you may be interested is the Free Standing Easy Arm. This device is manufactured by the same company as the Gorbel G Force, so you can count on the same high quality engineering. However, this machine is intended for smaller and lighter loads of 165 and 330 pounds. It features spans of 6 and 14 feet and speeds up to 150 feet per minute. Each model offers a precision that cannot be matched and an optional float mode. Tangled cables are also a thing of the past when using these models due to their air and electric swivel.

This brings us to another one of the more effective intelligent lifting devices, the Under Hung Easy Arm. It features a capacity of 165 pounds and spans of 10 feet. As you can see, it is suitable for only smaller loads, but one of the main benefits it offers is that it can be mounted to the ceiling or a manipulator platform, unlike the older work station bridge crane. However, in order to resist the forces caused by the system, there must be a ceiling structure that is strong enough. All in all, it remains one of the most cost effective turnkey solutions available for this purpose.

There are many other intelligent lifting devices on the market besides the few examples given in this article, so be sure to continue your research. When you have a good idea of what you need and what devices are available you have the best chance possible of choosing the most appropriate machine for your application.
