Workstation Lifting Solutions

April 18, 2017

Workstation lifting applications require a customised and well thought out solution.

Safetech has a broad product range to provide a solution tailored to the individual requirements. All applications require assessment for (among many others): space requirements (LxWxH), capacity, how the product is to be lifted (above or below).

This assessment with the assistance of Safetech trained sales force will assist you to decide which workstation lifting solution fits your application.

Scissor lifts

Scissor lifts can be the most effective way to solve your workstation lifting application. The Safetech workstation range of scissor lifts provide effective stationary or mobile lifting within the workplace.  Optioned with turntables/various platform sizes, control configurations Workstation scissor lifts will suit most applications (steel works, palletising, timber, assembly, food and warehousing).

Gorbel Workstation Cranes

Workstation cranes create safe work cells by providing flexible lifting over a wide area.  The unique design provides 100:1 ergonomic ratio allowing operators to move 1000kg with just 10kg of force.  The range of Gorbel Workstation Cranes is 3 times easier to move than I beam cranes and can be ceiling mounted or freestanding.  The WSC provides Increased productivity, Ease of movement and positioning and Better work force utilization – Since physical strength becomes less of an issue with Gorbel® Workstation Cranes, you can better utilize your work force.

Gorbel Workstation Jibs

Where your application calls for a smaller work area the workstation jib can be a good alternative to a Workstation Crane.  Light weight and easy to install, WSJ handle loads up to 500kg.

Intelligent Lifting Devices

Intelligent Lifting Devices allow operators to lift and manoeuvre heavier weights with minimal effort.  Ideal for workstation lifting applications requiring both speed and accuracy.

The Safetech Gorbel G-Force®, and Easy Arm® Intelligent Lifting Devices enable operators to lift and manoeuvre naturally, as if the devices were an extension of their arms. Our Q and iQ model Intelligent Lifting Devices will help improve productivity, reduce the cost of product damage, and minimize work-related injuries.

G-Force® technology fills the void between traditional lifting devices and completely automated robotic solutions.
These devices use the human’s intelligence and adaptability for guidance but the work is done by the device. Available in both Bridge Crane Mounted and Jib Crane Mounted Solutions.

All of the Safetech G-Force Intelligent Lifting products (G-Force, and Easy Arm) now come with float mode as a standard feature. See more about Intelligent Lifting Devices.

  • Heavy equipment manufacturing
  • Tool & Die change outs
  • Natural Gas & Oil Industry (valves, drilling components, etc)
  • Repetitive lifting jobs
  • Parts Assembly
  • Machining
  • Palletizing loads
  • Warehouse loading docks
  • Process Equipment Maintenance
  • Capacities from 165 to 1320 lbs
  • Speeds up to 200 ft. per minute

Gorbel Easy Arm

Providing the benefits of the G-Force the Easy Arm offers a jib configuration providing the following unique benefits.  Safetech is able to provide an Easy to suit your requirements including span, height and capacity variants.

  • Reaching into a work cell or around obstructions
  • Reaching under overhead obstructions like conveyors or exhaust hoods
  • Reaching into work cells/doorways
  • High cycle pick and place
  • Loading/unloading machined parts

DC Powered Trolleys

Smaller objects needing lifting and transporting within the workstation and broader work area are readily handled using Powered Lifting Trolleys.  The STS DC Lift Trolley is a small Scissor Lift Table that uses a linear actuator as the lifting mechanism. This eliminates hydraulic fluids or oils and provides a quiet, steady lift force.

A high duty cycle, rechargeable battery supplies the power and a push button controller makes operating the DC Lift Trolleys effortless.
