Experience effortless lifting with the LiftAssist! Designed for control, easy operation, fast operation and optimal ergonomic use, the LiftAssist makes your work easier and more enjoyable. With a learning curve of only 10 minutes, you will be ready to use immediately. With the modular build design every roll handler can be delivered with modifications to be custom suited for your process. In base all the handlers are the same and can be customized to meet customer-specific needs through the modifications we offer. These modifications are specially designed based on in-depth knowledge of work processes gained through experience.

Air Balancer

Air Balancer

Our air balancer uses advanced air technology for smooth and elastic yet controlled movement. By using compressed air, lifting a product becomes almost weightless. This creates a floating effect, allowing operators to lift products accurately with minimal effort. The elastic vertical motion of the handler is powered by a spool that effortlessly winds and unwinds a load cable, making it easy to lift and lower loads.

 

Key Benefits:

  • Precise Movements: Air technology ensures smooth, controlled movements and precise positioning of the load.
  • Ergonomic Benefits: Reduces physical strain and reduces the risk of work-related injuries.
  • Flexibility in Capacity: Accommodates loads from 10 to 250 kg. 
  • Durable and Reliable: Robust construction with high-quality materials for long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance.

 

For heavier products, we use built-in air cylinders in a rigid arrangement. Integrated air cylinders have the same benefits as an air balancer.

 

 

The Ergohandle

The Ergohandle

The Ergohandle is the center to operate the handler and makes working with a LiftAssist intuitive and easy. The ergonomic handlebar moves freely up and down through the hands, so you always stay in control and can keep your eyes on the load. A simple finger movement determines both direction and speed, without having to bend or stretch when lifting to high or low positions.

 

Proportional control ensures that the handler moves slowly when you press the up or down lever lightly, but moves faster the further you press the lever. Tilting or rotating is easily done with the levers behind the up and down levers, similar to steering a car. Safety always comes first! For example, our handler must always obtain enough counter pressure before a product can be unloaded, so products can never be accidentally unloaded during lifting.

 

Dotec infrastructure

Depending on several factors, the decision is made whether a rail system or a jib crane is most suitable for the process.

 

The infrastructure is the backbone of the total system. In the design of The LiftAssist, we strive for maximum weight savings to accomplish minimum effort while moving the load from A to B.
It is essential that infrastructure components, such as rail, trolleys and bearings match these design rules.
Dotec infrastructure is designed for the 24/7 production environment running at high frequencies.

 

Dotec Jib Cranes are most suitable for short transfer processes. They provide comfortable and ergonomic movement, exist out of state of the art materials and feel smooth while moving loads. With an integrated parking bracket it secures a safe way of parking the handler when it is not in use.

 

Dotec aluminium rail profiles have a unique way of suspending and trolley design providing a rolling resistance ≤1% of the load to be moved.
