The Vacuum Tube Lifter JumboErgo Rationalizes Order Picking in a Tobacco Factory

The packages of bundled tobacco plants, which weigh more than 40 kg, used to be moved by hand. The amount of personnel that were needed and the desire to ease the strain on the employees were reason enough to convert to automatic lifting aids.

Multiple vacuum tube lifters JumboErgo used to move bundled tobacco plants. The tube lifters JumboErgo used are equipped with an FM double suction cup, which makes it possible to handle the load even if the suction cup is not completely covered. Only one person is needed to transport the bundles, which weigh more than 40 kg. In order to suspend the vacuum tube lifters, the halls are equipped with several SRA aluminum crane systems. In addition to optimum load-bearing capacity, the crane systems provide even load distribution across all load-bearing rollers. The trolleys of the crane systems do not tilt, even if driven “diagonally”. The large working area that is gained by using the crane system ensures maximum flexibility and makes it possible to use the system throughout the entire production hall.
