Ergonomic working environment
Modular flat cantilever
For manual lifting tasks, the combination of vacuum lifter and crane system creates an ergonomic working environment. Schmalz has developed a modular flat jib made of aluminum to ensure smooth movements even in low spaces.
Compared to conventional steel slewing jib cranes, the user has to exert less force to move the jib together with the vacuum lifter and load. Schmalz has developed this ergonomic and flat solution based on the construction kit for slewing jib cranes; the overall height of the jib is up to 96 millimetres lower compared to the previous steel construction. Compared to a standard aluminum jib, lifting devices can even be suspended up to 340 millimeters higher with the same crane height. This optimizes the working area for the vacuum tube lifters Jumbo in low spaces, which operators use to move various goods and workpieces in high cycle rates. In addition to the lower height, the slewing jib crane is more cost-effective than the steel version due to its modular design; it can carry loads of up to 110 kilograms. pb
