Vacuum, Pneumatic, Robotic, and Magnetic Ergonomic Lift Assist Devices

Ergonomic lift assist devices are tools and systems that help workers lift, move, and carry heavy loads and awkward objects. These devices reduce the risk of injury associated with repetitive lifting and create a safer and more efficient work environment.

As a leader in material handling solutions, Ergonomic Partners' speciality is our ergonomic lift assist devices. We have experience working across a wide range of industries developing ergonomic solutions that enhance both worker safety and productivity. Our team of experts work closely with our customers to design lift assist devices that are tailored to their material handling needs.

From vacuum lifts to manipulator arms, EP can develop custom lift assists that address your unique material handling challenges. We have developed ergonomic material handling solutions that include: vacuum grippers, pneumatic grippers, mechanical grippers, electromagnetic tooling, permanent magnet grippers, intelligent lifting devices, along with a host of other custom end effectors.

Why Use Ergonomic Lift Assists?

An ergonomic approach to lifting can minimize awkward working postures, heavy lifting, forceful exertions, and manual carrying of materials. Ergonomic devices eliminate unnatural motions and greatly reduce the risk of back, neck, shoulder, and wrist strain. Special lifting devices for rolls, glass, or panels can be more productive than manual handling, especially when long work hours and fatigue are considered contributors to costly repetitive motion, musculoskeletal, and back injuries. So investing in ergonomic lift assists can prove more beneficial by reducing worker injuries and compensation claims.

Material handling applications come in all shapes and sizes. Ergonomic Partners has experience developing ergonomic lift assists for many manufacturing and specialty applications, including work areas that have close quarters, various working elevations, and process production lines. We can develop custom tooling for manipulator arms, jib cranes, intelligent lifting arms, chain hoists, and other material handling equipment. End effectors can include anything from standard hooks, electromagnets, and core grips, as well as pneumatic clamps or vacuum cups. We can design end of arm tooling to handle materials including: sheet metal, panels, plywood, planks, boxes, stone slabs, windows, doors, rolls, castings, glass, parts, and more. They can also be equipped with up-end, down-end, rotate, pitch, and tilt functions. Check out our short videos of Lift Assists and Vacuum Lifters in action here.
