Easy Arm™ Intelligent Lifting Arm: The Brains of a G-Force™ in the Body of a Jib
Your precision lifting applications just got easier, thanks to Easy Arm™ Intelligent Lifting Arm, the newest addition to Gorbel's family of G-Force™ Intelligent Assist Devices. Gorbel have encorporated their patented G Force™ lifting technology and processor controlled servo-drive system into an ergonomic articulating jib design.
The Smarter Way to Lift
G-Force™ technology gives you the best of both worlds: the responsiveness and the flexibility of a human operator, plus the power of a machine. More precise than hoists, more responsive than air balancers, G-Force™ technology integrated in the Easy Arm™ design improves safety, productivity and quality:
Applications
This versatile new design is ideal for lifting applications that involve:
This versatile new design is ideal for lifting applications that involve:
Reaching into a work cell or around obstructions.
Rapid changes in direction.
Loading/unloading machined parts.
Moving products around a work cell.
Palletising.
Flexible and Convenient
The G-Force™ gives the responsiveness and flexibility of a human operator plus the power of a machine. It incorporates a range of speeds so it is perfect for quick, repetitive motions and slow, precise placements.
No Foundation Required
Easy Arm™ doesn't require a foundation. Its simple 4-bolt hole pattern means it can be bolted to 150mm reinforced contrecte. You don't need to pour expensive foundations or make costly major modifications to existing plant equipment.
Versatile Design
The Easy Arm™ has adjustable tension of both arms to fine tune its rotation performance. Plus, it pivots in two places on the boom for easier access to hard to reach places.
Cost Effective
Easy Arm™ is more cost effective for moving loads in one work cell than adding a work station bridge crane.
Easy to Move
The Easy Arm™ is a self-contained unit. That means operators don't have the added physical strain of moving a complete bridge and/or trolley. The actuator is mounted on the pivot, not on the arm, making the arm lightweight and easy to move.
Safety
Easy Arm : The Safe Alternative
Operators want to use the Easy Arm because it's easy to learn, easy to use and dramatically reduces the risk of injury. Enhanced user safety provides substantial reward for both the operator and the employer. Safety features include:
Anti-recoil - Does not move when there is a sudden change of load.
Capacity overload protection - warning lights indicate when the load exceeds its rated capacity.
Power loss protection - locks into place in the event of a power loss.
E-Stop button.
Operator Indicator lights. Operator present switch - a safety interlock that prevents movement unless initiated by the operator.
Operator present switch - a safety interlock that prevents movement unless initiated by the operator.
Free Standing Crane Systems
A free standing GORBEL crane system is useful when the crane system cannot be attached to the building structure. It incorporates two parallel runways suspended under a header support structure with a bridge beam that travels alond the runways. The hoist trolley or ene effecter attaches to the bridge providing full lifting coverage under the entire area. They can be supplied with multiple bridges with varying capacities according to the latout of the area to be covered. A Free Standing System can also incorporate ree standing columns on one side and ceiling attachement on the other depending on the building structure. All GORBEL crane systems are covered by a five year warranty on all hardware. Capacities range from 125kg to 2000kg.
Ceiling Mounted Crane Systems
A GORBEL Ceiling Mounted Crane System incorporates two parallel runways suspended from the buildings structure frame along which a bridge beam can travel. A hoist trolley or end effecter attaches to the bridge thus providing full lifting coverage over the entire work area. Multiple bridges can be hung from the runways and the capacities of the bridge beams can vary accoriding to the layout of the work area.
All GORBEL Crane Systems are covered by a five year warranty on all hardware. Capacities range from 125kg to 2000kg.
GORBEL Jib Crane Systems
Work Station Jib Cranes are the ideal substitute for traditional, heavy I-Beam Jib Cranes. These jibs are designed to service circular areas and support tool balancers, air balancers, vacuum lifters, and hoists.
When floor mounted, they can accomodate up to a 360° rotation. When column or wallmounted, they allow up to a 200° rotation. Capacities are available from 50kg. to 500 kg. with spans up to 4.8m.
Capacities from 50 kg to 500 kg., with spans up to 4.8m.
Freestanding Offer 360° rotation.
Wallmounted Offer 200° rotation.
Most can be bolted directly to existing floor without adding special foundations.
Utilize enclosed track for the boom assembly, which reduces dead weight for easier rotation than traditional I-beam jibs.
Feature a retaining pin through the pivot pin to help resist accidental upward dislodgment of the boom assembly.
Include hoist trolley.
Jib Cranes - Freestanding or Floor Mounted They incorporate a vertical mast, fixed to the floor or footing and a horizontal boom along which a hoist trolley or crab can travel and rotate about the mast to provide full coverage over a circular work area
Jib Cranes - Wall Mounted
As above, except that the boom rotates on a pivot fixed to the wall of a building. Wall mounted jibs provide coverage over a semi-circular work area.
Articulated Jib Crane
Safetech Articulating Jib Cranes can position loads in places not available to traditional jibs. They provide easy rotation and consistent responsiveness when positioning loads throughout the cranes coverage area.
Safetech's Free Standing Articulating Jibs can rotate up to 360° on the primary boom and 330° on the secondary boom (depending on hoist dimension).
Articulating Jib Cranes provide a rapid return on investment through increased productivity, reduced injuries, and improved safety.
Increases in production result from the easy rotation of the boom and quick, precise load positioning. Injuries are reduced and safety improved since only a low force is required to start and stop the boom rotation.
Ergonomic design makes for superior ease of movement and precise positioning.
Easy Movement
Traditional jib cranes can be difficult to rotate when the load is on the inner half of the boom. The articulating jibs are easier to rotate in close to the free standing mast or building column.
Wide Variety of Spans and Capacities
Articulating Jib Cranes are available as standard products in capacities to 400kg (max 2400 span) and spans up to 4,800mm (max 200kg) without the extra lead time and costs associated with customization.
Overturning Moment Requirements
A structurally adequate foundation is needed to support the AJ360-F Articulating Jib Cranes.
Articulating Work Station Jib Cranes are available in three different mounting styles to meet your application needs. The AJ360-available as a free standing or Mobile Base articulating jib. The AJ200 is a wallmounted option.
Applications
Ideal when it comes to positioning and spotting loads around an obstruction, through an open doorway, or rotating in close to the free standing mast.
Options
Rotation stops for primary boom.
Rotation stops for secondary boom.
Mobile Base.

Tube Lifter
'VACUEASYLIFT' the original of its kind!
VacuEasylift
is a manual vacuumlifting device that handles almost any type of load.
The extremely smooth and quick operation is accomplished by using the
same handle to lift, lower and release the load and by using the vacuum
to hold and lift the load. Industry, engineering shops, warehouses,
distribution terminals, VacuEasyLift makes lifting easy in all
conceivable working conditions. VacuEasyLift makes lifting safer, both
for operators and for the products being handled. Once VacuEasyLift is
installed you will no longer need to hire weightlifter staff to lift
and move things.
Easy to use:
Learning how to use VacuEasylift takes no time at all. A simple
combination handle, which is manipulated with minimum effort, is all it
takes to operate the system. The equipment can easily be adjusted to
the optimum working height of each individual operator.
Market Leader: With more than 40,000 units currently in use, TAWI is the market leader in Vacuum Lifting equipment. The VacuEasylift is capable of lifting up to 270kgsThe VacuEasylift can lift almost anything! (Click below for examples)

Vechile Mounted Hoist
TRUCK MOUNTED SLEWING HOIST
The hoist is designed to fit any vehicle fitted with a tray or level surface. The hoist kit is packaged to enable the owner to fit the hoist in their own work place. The hoist simply bolts to any corner of the tray. Your pay load capacity is virtually unchanged as the hoist weighs only 88kg.
The base of the hoist is folded to ensure light weight , strength and only 50 mm wide. Stock crates, tool boxes and the like can remain on the vehicle. Generally the hoist is used to lift items that require two or more people eg. generators, compressors, welders, 44 gallon drums and fencing materials. The Lindsell Hoist does not require a licence to operate, (excluding ACT).
The Lindsell Hoist is powered by a 12 or 24 volt electric/hydraulic power unit using the vehicle's battery. This independent power unit enables the hoist to lift 250kg at 2.5 metres 400kg at 1.6 metres above the tray and 700kg at 0.9 metres. The boom rises to 2.4 metres above the surface of the tray and lowers to approximately 50cms below the tray.
A complete Lindsell Hoist includes the base, boom, power cable, handset control (3.5 metre cable), adjustable support leg, bolts, nuts and diagram form safety instructions. The hydraulic cylinder is a standard type ensuring easy service no matter what part of Australia you are located.
The standard safety features are :-
Built in relief valve to avoid overloading
Velocity fuse (hose burst) for hydraulic cylinder. Designed by MLT.
Flow control valve enabling the operator to adjust the speed at which the boom is lowered and raised.
Telescopic Boom to 2.5 metres
Two way Ratchet Locking Slew Boom . All Models RLP
This enables the operator to work the load without the risk of backward slew towards the operator . Both directions are lockable making the Lindsell Hoist one of the safest manual handling hoists available. All pins are hardened and CNC machined to give optimum performance in all weather conditions.
