You will have access to an industry leader in handling equipment, with over 25 years of experience, and can rely on experts that are not limited to selling a specific product. You will be presented with a range of solutions to meet your individual needs; like a Handling Concepts hydraulic gripper.
Hydraulic grippers are heavy-duty lifting devices that can apply the force required to handle heavy components. They use pressurised fluids to move a piston. When the piston moves, it transfers the force to the gripper jaws, opening and closing them.
Grippers are important attachments that facilitate the efficient and safe transportation of various types of loads. For lightweight applications, hydraulic grippers are unnecessarily powerful and expensive because of their complex manufacturing and maintenance. For manual handling problems that require very high loads to be supported and manipulated, hydraulic grippers are the go-to lifting device.
The solid design and structure of hydraulic grippers makes them very resilient to the working environment. Many yellow goods manufacturers will use hydraulic systems to power their machines.
Hydraulic grippers solve large manual handling problems. They can benefit your workers and business and can help in various ways:
• Lifting something too heavy for a person to handle manually
• Reducing the risk of musculoskeletal injuries and repetitive strain injury through incorrect manual handling
• Eliminating employee fatigue from moving items manually
• Improving the efficiency of the production line
• Reducing the risk of workplace accidents
