The Vacuum Tube Lifter JumboErgo Handles Cardboard Boxes Measuring up to Four Meters in Length

Round pipe systems, which are used in construction fittings and sanitary facilities, are order picked and packaged before being delivered. In the packaging area, cardboard boxes measuring up to four meters in length must be moved from a roller belt onto pallets. The goods are then picked up by trucks and delivered to their respective destinations. In the past, two employees were necessary for moving the unwieldy cardboard boxes by hand. The sheer strain of physically carrying a total weight of 4-5 metric tons every day became the primary catalyst to purchase the Schmalz device.

The vacuum tube lifter JumboErgo 85 is equipped with a double suction cup, which can easily lift glued, strapped, or open cardboard boxes. The beam length at which the suction cups can be mounted and adjusted ensures that cardboard boxes of varying lengths can be lifted. The tube lifter JumboErgo can be operated by one person, thus reducing personnel costs. This Schmalz solution is rounded off by the use of an SK column-mounted slewing crane. Due to its customized jib length of 4,000 mm, the slewing crane ensures maximum flexibility and extreme ease of movement.
