Schmalz JumboFlex 50 tube lifter

Schmalz’ series of tube lifters feature one-hand operation for frequent, fast, ergonomic movement of light goods. The recently announced JumboFlex 50 offers a maximum load of 50 kilograms and with the JumboFlex 35, the company offers handling solutions for every small load up to 50 kilograms.

The JumboFlex 50’s operator handle has been ergonomically engineered and adapted for the heavier load and the redesigned button can be controlled with either one or two fingers. The larger soft touch inserts on the control handle aid precise and safe handling of loads of up to 50 kg with one hand. Other features of the JumboFlex 35 tube lifter, such as the intuitive operation for right- or left-handed users and the precise control of lifting speed, have been retained.

Different suction pads are available for various applications. The suction pads can be replaced easily, thanks to the standard integrated quick-change adapter.

Work pieces can be picked up from the sides, which expands the range of applications. The suction pads, which can be swivelled by 90°, then automatically bring the load into the horizontal position after handling. The tube lifter is also available in a special A2 (food grade) version for use in the food and beverage industry.

An electrical pump with a suction rate of 67 m³/h (50 Hz) is responsible for vacuum generation. With the optional radio remote control SRC, the operator can switch the vacuum generator on and off directly on the operator handle. The maximum lift speed is 1 m/s.

The continuously rotatable lifting unit, which is attached to the crane system, ensures optimal handling and a high level of flexibility.
