JumboErgo 

For workpieces of many different shapes and sizes, weighing up to 300 kg, the Schmalz Vacuum Tube Lifter JumboErgo is the perfect solution to safe handling requirements.

The twist grip on the JumboErgo is designed to operate like a motorcycle throttle. Large and heavy loads such as wooden boards, can be moved gently and precisely. The length of the operator handle can be varied, which allows the user to always maintain a safe distance from the load.

The optional swivelling unit, allows you to swivel workpieces by 90° with the push of a button, letting the user to swivel workpieces weighing up to 120 kg securely and ergonomically. For airtight non-porous workpieces, the additionally available venting unit enables the user to quickly and safely release the workpiece as required.

The benefits you can realise from the installation of a vacuum lifter include, increased productivity thanks to reduced handling and loading times, reduced requirement for multiple people to handle workpieces and secure, the minimisation of downtime due to employee injury, damage-free gripping by using vacuum rather than sliding.

The lifting unit, operating unit, vacuum grippers and vacuum generator on the vacuum tube lifter JumboErgo can be configured according your specifications. The JumboErgo is characterised by its lifting unit, which contracts and extends when lifting and lowering the load. The large effective suction area maximises safe holding of the workpiece. 

Due to its modular design, the vacuum tube lifter can be customised to your individual application.
