Your custom made lifting aid - configure, visualize, order
The right handling solution
Instant drawings and 3D models to download
Full transparency for registered users
Ergonomic lifting aids are hard to find, prices are often hidden and the technical fit is unclear – our configurator changes all that.
From the idea to the solution
Forget lengthy planning processes and wrong decisions. Our online configurator for ergonomically designed lifting aids combines CAD configuration, 3D visualization and real-time price calculation – specially developed for the quick design of cardboard box, bag, sheet, glass and pane handling.
Intuitive operation, intelligent solutions, maximum transparency – all in one tool.
1) Application information: Answer simple questions about your application - no technical product knowledge is required.
2) Live 3D preview: See your lifting aid in real time.
3) Component overview and total price: All included components are clearly displayed.
4) Quote or expert advice: Make an inquiry, receive a quote or talk to our experts.
Many years of know-how, solutions tested by experts, personal service and holistic intelligence – that's Schmalz.
The following CAD data is available in the configurator for ergonomically designed lifting aids: 3D data (PDF, STEP, PNG) and 2D data (PDF, DWG, DXF). After configuration, the models of the selected solution are available for download – matching the individual combination of lifting aid, crane and accessories. This allows designers to incorporate the solution directly into their planning without having to wait for feedback.
The user describes their application in just a few steps: load type (e.g. cardboard box, bag, sheet), weight, working area and location. The configurator determines a suitable lifting aid with crane from tested standard solutions, shows it visually provides CAD data for download and shows the price for registered users. If required, a Schmalz system consultant can be contacted directly.
No. The configurator is deliberately designed to be application-based: Details of the load and the place of use are sufficient. The technical selection – lifting device, crane, suction plate or gripping system – is made internally using a stored set of rules and expert-tested configurations. No specialist knowledge of vacuum technology is required.
Typically just a few minutes. Instead of lengthy research and coordination phases, the guided process leads to the result in manageable steps – including CAD data and price. This significantly shortens internal approval cycles.
In this case, the configurator offers direct contact with a Schmalz system consultant – available worldwide via a contact form or a booking tool. For demanding or very specific applications, tests on the workpiece or an on-site appointment are often arranged to ensure safe functionality.
The applications covered are carton handling, bag handling, panel handling (wood, metal, plastics) and glass and pane handling. For special applications outside these standards, the configurator refers directly to a personal consultation.
Yes, use is free of charge, including download of CAD data. Free registration is required to display list prices.
Registration is free of charge in the Schmalz customer portal. After confirming the company data, the list prices of the configured solution are directly available when using the configurator for ergonomically designed lifting aids.
The configurator delivers a tested standard solution with CAD data and price indication in just a few minutes instead of several hours and days – regardless of business hours and sales availability. Personal consultation remains available and is primarily used for more complex cases. This speeds up internal approvals and reduces coordination effort in the purchasing and engineering process.
