At the globally renowned ProMat material handling and supply chain trade show, Gorbel<\/a> is set to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its groundbreaking G-Force Intelligent Lifting Device.<\/p>\n

This device marked a significant advancement in ergonomic design upon its release in 2000. See Gorbel<\/a> at Booth S2331.<\/p>\n

The G-Force Intelligent Lifting Device is used in many industries where heavy lifting is required like (L) machining and (R) automotive.<\/p><\/div>\n

The G-Force was designed by UC Berkeley\u2019s Dr. Homayoon Kazerooni and allows manufacturing workers to lift materials with an ease that is often reserved for robotic technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy primary motivation was to reduce the risk of work-related injuries. I feel fortunate to have met the Gorbel<\/a> team \u2014 visionary and forward-thinking individuals who played a key role in bringing this to life,\u201d he said.\"\"<\/p>\n

In the 25 years since Gorbel<\/a> released the G-Force in the North American and European markets, it has been used to lift almost anything one can imagine from farming equipment to space rovers. Current models can lift more than 1,000lbs with just a touch of a finger. Retired Gorbel<\/a> Vice President of Sales David Butwid said of the technology, \u201cIf there\u2019s anything grand about this [anniversary], it\u2019s how the G-Force improved workplace safety.\u201d<\/p>\n
