In both intralogistics and distribution logistics, companies have to move large quantities of goods quickly and accurately. The processes mostly involve lifting, rotating and carrying. For example, crates or cardboard boxes are picked up and moved from the conveyor belt to the transport trolley. Schmalz has developed the vacuum tube lifter JumboFlex for the dynamic handling of small workpieces weighing up to 50 kilograms. The vacuum experts designed the operator handle together with the Chair of Ergonomics at the University of Munich. Regardless of whether the user is right or left-handed, he can move the load with a single hand. The lifting, lowering and releasing of the goods can be controlled using just one finger.

The operator can replace the suction cups easily and without tools using the integrated quick-change adapter. The multi gripper is a more universal solution for cardboard boxes of various sizes and properties. And even if only 75 percent of the suction area is covered, the gripper can still safely lift the load.
