Jumbo is the familiar nickname for an elephant. But elephants are not
only large and strong—they are also reliable, very intelligent and capable
of working hard for long periods.
They are thus very similar to the Vacuum Tube Lifting System Jumbo
from Schmalz, an extremely versatile lifting and handling system which
is surprisingly easy to use.
The Vacuum Tube Lifting system Jumbo is the intelligent answer to
your handling problems. Its secret: only one medium is responsible for
holding the load and lifting it, namely a vacuum. There is no need for a
chain hoists, manipulators or hydraulic cylinders to pick up and lift the
workpiece. The operator controls the vacuum in the system with a valve
on the control handle. A higher vacuum lifts the load, a lower vacuum
lowers it. Lifting speeds of up to 230 f.p.m. can be achieved.
The reliability of the operating safety of the Vacuum Tube Lifter Jumbo
from Schmalz are already proverbial. Many patents covering the valve
technology and many years of experience make the Vacuum Tube Lifters
from Schmalz a top-quality product which has earned the status of being
“first class” throughout the world.
Since 1994, Schmalz is also certified in accordance with quality guidelines
of DIN ISO 9001 and all the products carry the CE symbol. Topquality
materials and rigorous inspection of each unit leaving the factory
guarantee a long operating lifetime.
The new modular design of the Vacuum Tube Lifters Jumbo has virtually no limits. Regardless of whether you need to place
cardboard boxes on pallets, load barrels on trucks, prepare orders of foodstuffs, stack sheets of wood or metal, lay stone
slabs, as well as assemble components and move machines or furniture—the Jumbo is the ideal alternative to your present
handling system and a welcome aid for your personnel!
The Vacuum Tube Lifter Jumbo is the best preventive medicine for anyone who has to lift heavy loads. It relieves the strain
on his/her spine and joints, thus reducing time lost due to injury and
improving the employees’ performance and motivation. It is an investment
in the future and in the human resources of any company.
The users and their well-being at work are extremely important to the
Schmalz Company. For this reason, ergonomic design was the primary
objective in the development of the new Jumbo generation. Lifting, lowering,
turning, loading and transporting workpieces are child’s play with
the Vacuum Tube Lifters.
