Hoists

LIFTANDMOVE is delighted to offer a range of hoists, including the award-winning G-Force™ by Gorbel. G-Force™ enables operators to lift loads and maneuver them naturally, as if it were an extension of their own arm.

G-Force™ gives the responsiveness and flexibility of a human operator plus the power of a machine. It is perfect for quick, repetitive motions and slow, precise placements.

G-Force™ is part of a new family of material handling equipment known as Intelligent Assist Devices (IADs). G-Force™ uses patented technology and an industrial processor-controlled drive system to deliver unmatched lifting precision and speed.

G-Force™ makes any load up to 300 lb (136 kg) feel like it weighs only 3 lb (1.4 kg). It instantaneously adjusts to changes in load capacity and speed. The operator gets a sense of the load because G-Force provides force control feedback of up to 3 lb depending on the weight of the load. This level of responsiveness increases productivity and safety, even in the most demanding applications.

G-Force™ is available in two series: the BXi series and the streamlined BX Series (lower cost alternative). Both series are available in 150 lb and 300 lb (68 and 136 kg) capacities.

Features:
Pinpoint precision - from 1 fpm (0.3 mpm) up to 275 fpm (83mpm)
Blazing speed - travels up to 4 times faster than traditional high-end lifting devices
Infinite control - ideal for applications that require high speed at some points in the cycle and slow, precise movements at other points

G-Force™ Easy Arm™

The newest addition to our family of Material Handling equipment known as Intelligent Assist Devices (IAD's) is the G-Force™ Easy Arm™. With this device we combine the brain of a G-Force with the body of a Jib.

G-Force™ Easy Arm™ integrates G-Force™ technology and an industrial processor-controlled drive system into an ergonomic articulating jib design.

It comes in 150 lb (68 kg) capacity with standard spans of 6, 8 and 10 feet (1.8, 2.4 and 3.0 metres).

This versatile design is ideal for lifting applications that involve:

Reaching under obstructions / low headroom applications (The wire goes over a pulley on the beam so you don't lose the headroom taken by the G-Force actuator.)
Reaching around obstructions
Reaching into work cells/doorways
Rapid change in direction - you don't have to move the weight of the actuator

These are just a few of the hoisting solutions that we can devise for you. Contact LIFTANDMOVE today to learn how to improve productivity, reduce the cost of product damage, and minimize work related injuries.
