Gorbel, a manufacturer of overhead material handling and fall protection products in the industrial sector, and gait and balance therapy products in the rehabilitation world, has published a flyer about end tooling for its G-Force and Easy Arm ranges. The two-page document details 20 solutions, including a plate gripper, two-jaw gripper, and drum lifter.<\/p>\n

Gorbel G-Force and Easy Arm Intelligent Lifting Devices are high speed, high precision, intelligent lifting devices that often require end tooling to complete a total solution that will grip, lift, move, lower and release a load and allow the full benefit of increased productivity, reduced product damage and superior ergonomics.<\/p>\n

Choosing the right end-effector tooling to complement a G-Force and Easy Arm is the key to maximizing a lifting solution. End-effector tooling engages the load so it can be lifted and manipulated in whatever way an application requires\u2014whether the load needs to be flipped, turned, or rotated.<\/p>\n

Gorbel dealers utilize a worldwide network of tooling integrators to provide the best solution for such applications. A gallery of solutions shows different examples of Gorbel G-Force and Easy Arm units with end effectors to help visualize the range of potential solutions for different lifting applications.<\/p>\n
