You can depend on over 25 years of helping businesses improve worker health and safety with Handling Concepts. Benefit from working with a team of experts who have developed a variety of industrial manipulators to meet virtually any requirement, like Handling Concepts’ lift and rotate columns, a bespoke piece of lifting equipment designed to integrate with your assembly line and manipulate large components.
Lift and rotate columns compromise a fixed base column and a gripping system that can rotate loads 180 degrees. The gripping system can be raised and lowered, allowing the machine to function alongside an assembly line.
They are electrically powered, using high-capacity hoists and gears for the lifting and rotating of components. The gripping systems utilise an electro-hydraulic pump, removing every aspect of manual handling from the worker. The machine is controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC).
Lift and rotate columns provide a safe and effective way to manipulate very large components and can lift loads from 100kg to 10 tons. The fixed position of the columns with the PLC control provides distance between the worker and the components that are being rotated.
The gripper systems can be customised to the client’s application and provide many industries an alternative to traditional handling equipment, such as industrial manipulators or overheard telescopic masts.
An advanced material handling solution, lift and rotate columns are especially useful in medical and construction industries. They remove the need for manual handling and provide a solution to challenging tasks that cannot be undertaken by a worker.
