The targets for the development of the Force-Lift were high: a single device should cover almost all surfaces and applications. The Force-Lift is used in shipping, warehousing, logistics, trade and industry. Cartons, sacks, barrels, canisters, containers, sheet metal and components of all kinds can be lifted, transported and positioned precisely. The Force-Lift is also used for loading machines. This flexibility is made possible by the variety of suction feet, which can be changed within seconds and without tools. In combination with the surface gripper technology, workpieces with recesses, countersinks and grooves can also be suctioned, for example corrugated and perforated sheets as well as rough-sawn wood. In every version, the new vacuum tube lifter from Aero-Lift guarantees fast, simple handling and short cycle times for both air-impermeable and air-permeable materials.

Low operating error rate

Thanks to the 360° horizontal rotation function, the transported goods can be rotated endlessly. The innovative operating element also ensures that loads can be moved precisely by 90° from the vertical to the horizontal position. Thanks to its instinctive operability, the tube lifter is also suitable for employees who only carry out these activities occasionally, routine is not necessary. The simple guidance of the device keeps the operating error rate low. User injuries and downtime are avoided.

Thanks to the one-handed operation, the second hand can be used to guide the transported goods. The Force-Lift offers the opportunity to improve workflow in a healthy, relaxed posture. Handling is ergonomically correct in every position, gentle on the joints and fatigue-free for the hands - even in continuous use.
