Pro and Cons of Material Handling Equipment

Electric Balancer

The electric balancer is an electric-driven power assist equipment.
It is used by suspending a heavy object from above like a hoist.

"Moon Lifter" assures high level of safety with the functions such as letting a workpiece stop when releasing your hands off as well as a load limit. Furthermore, a wide variety of customizations are available.

Air Balancer

The air balancer is a power assist equipment that lifts a heavy object by compressed air.
This method is commonly used and sold by many manufacturers all over the world.
As it does not stop sharply, it is not suitable for assembling or positioning of products.

Hoist

The hoist is a material handling equipment that allows us lifting and lowering a heavy object with button operations using the electric motor.
By pressing buttons, a workpiece lifts up and lowers down.
For a positioning of a workpiece, inching technique with repeatedly hitting the button at high speed is required.

Manual Chain Block

The manual chain block is a power assist equipment that does not require motive power, utilizing the leverage principle and a pulley.
Since power is amplified, a heavy object can be lifted up by pulling the hand chain manually.
Lifting/lowering is time-consuming, resulting in poor work efficiency.
As bimanual operation is required, load swing cannot be controlled.

Spring Balancer

The spring balancer is a power assist equipment that utilizes the tensional force of a spring.
It is mainly used for applications in order to cancel the weight of power tools.
Since force is needed for clamping/unclamping a workpiece, it is not suitable for transport purposes.

Assist Suit

The assist suit is a wearable power assist equipment.
Various types such as one using artificial muscles and another using air are on sale.
It is convenient as it can be used anywhere. Additionally, you don't need to prepare for an installation site as well as a clamp for a workpiece.
As it depends on the human strength, a heavy object cannot be transported.
