Vacuum Tube Lifter JumboFlex Allows for Fast Handling of Packages in a Postal Freight Center

At a package center packages from the immediate and surrounding areas are received and redistributed. The incoming packages are taken from the parcel truck and placed on fully automated roller belts. After that, an automatic distribution line is used to assign the packages to the respective postal code areas. Removing the packages from the parcel truck and placing them onto the belts of the distribution line must be performed by hand. Over time, the number of packages that are handled can make this an enormously strenuous task, especially if the packages are heavy. It should also be noted that this work is sometimes performed by female employees. For this reason, the company decided to purchase a handling system to help with the lifting. The subject of work safety also played an important role in deciding which lifting aid to buy. This issue is becoming more and more important in the field of logistics.

The vacuum tube lifter JumboFlex is used to handle packages quickly and efficiently. The double suction cup that is installed is especially suited for packages and cardboard boxes, because it can lift glued, clamped, and strapped cardboard boxes and packages. The safety of the employee is ensured at all times thanks to the optimum suction effect. The ergonomic, single-hand operation of the tube lifter makes it ideal for frequent and fast movement of light goods weighing up to 35 kg. The vacuum tube lifter JumboFlex makes the work easier to do, is very well received by employees, and helps to spur their motivation. In combination with the SK column-mounted slewing crane, the handling system can achieve extreme ease of movement and allow for the work to be performed much more rapidly.
