JumboFlex Weight-Control
With the integrated weighing device, loads can be lifted and weighed in a single movement (always including SRC).
JumboFlex Safety+
Particularly safe thanks to two-handed operation for release. Adjustable, reduced lowering speed, e.g. for sensitive components or for applications with a handicap.
JumboFlex Quick-Release
Allows loads to be deliberately released during the lifting process by means of an additional release lever. Used, for example, in baggage handling at airports.
JumboFlex with compressed air feed-through
Pneumatic grippers can be supplied with compressed air via the compressed air connection on the operator handle.

Save up to 40% energy at the touch of a button
With the radio remote control SRC, you can switch the vacuum generator off and on again directly at the operator handle during work breaks. The radio remote control requires no external energy (integrated induction generator) and is operated at the touch of a button.
Reduce the sound level
The SBB silencer box reduces the sound level of the vacuum generator and protects it from outside contamination.
Protection from dirt
The STF dust filter keeps dirt particles away from the vacuum generator and is always recommended for its protection. It is quick and easy to clean.
Protection against thermal overload
The MSS motor-protection switch switches the vacuum generator on and off and protects it from overvoltage. It can be integrated into the Schmalz crane column without complex cabling and can optionally be locked.
Safe parking
The JumboFlex is safely parked in the AB-JU storage rack to protect the lift tube and suction cup after work.

Protection against wear and tear
The protective tube prevents mechanical damage to the lift tube and is easy to clean. The protective tube is included as standard with the JumboFlex.
Storage of grippers
With the parking system, standard JumboFlex grippers can be stored safely and tidily.
