About Ergonomic Handling System

Selecting The Right Material Handling Equipment

Ergonomics is the science of adapting work to worker's capabilities, it seeks to enhance productivity and provide safety to workers. Therefore, selecting the right material handling system is essential to make your operation ergonomically sound.

The most basic ergonomic handling system can be divided into the following categories.

Air balancer

    

Zimmerman balance air ® uses air pressure principle to lift and to maintains a precise counterbalance of suspended loads. It makes heavy load becomes nearly weightless and allows operator to maneuver the load easily. 

Used to suspend equipment which is used in repetitive operation. It normally uses with load handling devices or end effector for different type of loads.
Awkward and/or rapid load movements.  
Balancing or suspending tools and heavy features.

Arm Systems

Zimmerman arm systems allow workers to reach into areas otherwise not accessible by fixed equipment.

Operations in hazardous environments where the operator is not permitted into the production area.

Workstation Cranes  

Rotomatik Flexi-Rail crane uses light weight enclosed-rail for crane bridge and flexible suspension kit to provide effortless movement of loads throughout the horizontal axis manually.

Provides heavy lifting capability in specific areas of the plant.

Lifting Tables / Scissor Lifts  

     

Lift table designed to raise, lower, position, and transfer materials may be stationary or manually propelled. They are most useful for bottom-up movement.

Lift tables position materials at operating heights so workers can avoid unnecessary bending, lifting and strain.

Tilt Table

Tilt table move materials or positioning work at proper level and angle. It  provides easy access for workers in order to achieve maximum operating effectiveness and efficiency. 

Tilt tables are used during the manufacturing process to tilt products for welding, fitting of internal components or loading raw materials onto finishing machinery.
