Custom Grip and Pitch Lift Assist Tool for the Food Industry



Check out this custom lift assist device which was designed for the food industry. This lift assist is suspended from a Gorbel G-Force Easy Arm to help the customer take of reels from a spindle, pitch 90 degrees and place into a box. This customer is installing (4) of these units due to going to larger reels which their work force cannot handle. We are seeing an older and increasingly female work force who appreciate lifting devices to take the load off their back and shoulders.

These reels can weigh up to 65# and are taken of the machine in batches of six. The custom lifting device has a floating handle so the operator can keep their arms in an ergonomic position even when setting the reels into shipping boxes which get stacked three high.
