Industrial Lifting Equipment: Electrical Manipulators

Electrical manipulators are types of lift equipment that in themselves can be turned, swung or otherwise moved electrically to help position the load. This is an advantage over manual manipulators when the user does not have easy access to the lifting tool when the load must be manipulated, e.g. lifting to a height where access is restricted.

Also electrical manipulators can offer faster speeds than manual manipulators and handle heavier loads.

In cases where a tactile sense of the load is needed during positioning or for more cost efficient solutions, see our manual manipulators here.

For an overview of our electrical manipulators, see below:

The electric clamp (EC) may hold many different typs of loads e.g. rolls or drums. These lifting clamps are modularly built so that you can easily exchange the gripper hands or combine it with a rotation device.

EC – Electric Clamp

Powered by an electrical actuator and with exchangeable gripper hands, the EC is perfect for clamping and holding a wide variety of loads, including drums and rolls.

The electric expander unit (EEU) lifts rolls from the core from a vertical position. This roll lifting device can also turn rolls when combined with a rotation tool.

EEU – Electric Expander Unit

The EEU is electrically powered and designed to grip the core of a roll. Then roll can then be lifted and also turned if this tool is combined with an ERU.

The electric linear clamp (ELC) becomes flexible roll or drum handling equipment in combination with arms and grippers.

ELC – Electric Linear Clamp

Powered by an electrical motor and due to the linear motion, the ELC is perfect for powerful clamping and holding of a wide variety of loads, including drums and rolls.

ELU – Electric Leveling Unit

The electrical leveling unit allows an attached lifting tool to be tilted up or down to make sure this tool is level or otherwise matches the angle of the load to be lifted.

ERG – Electric Reel Gripper

For reels that need to be gripped around the outer perimeter and subsequently lifted and tipped, the ERG offers a fully electrically powered solution to do just that.

The electric roll manipulator (ERM) with core grip is a strong roll handling tool able to lift and turn extra heavy rolls. From the front, mandrel positioned vertically, picture 2.

ERM – Electric Roll Manipulator

The electrical roll manipulator allows for easy lifting and tipping of rolls. A good solution if the operator does not have easy access to the lifting tool while turning and gripping are performed.

Electric rotation unit (ERU) for rotating loads in a precise manner. Can be mounted on e.g. a drum lifting device or roll handling lift. From the front, picture 2.

ERU – Electric Rotation Unit

The ERU lets you rotate a load using an electric motor and gear. This tool can be combined with several other lifting tools, such as grippers and double mandrels.

The electric tipping unit (ETU) is able to tip heavy loads forward in a controlled manner. This tipping tool is typically combined with a linear clamp and mounted on drum lifting equipment or roll lifters. From behind, picture 1.

ETU – Electric Tipping Unit

Typically combined with an electric linear clamp (ELC), the ETU allows for the load to be tipped forward using an electric motor and gear.

Other Tools Categories

Manual Manipulators

Manual manipulators are lifting tools that in themselves can be turned, swung or otherwise moved by hand to help position the load.

Non-Manipulators

Non-manipulators are simple lifting tools that support a load. Typically designed to accommodate a specific type of load, these tools are found in countless different versions.
