Ergolift MB - Designed for off-centre loads
The Ergoflex hydraulic manipulator is now also available with a vertically and horizontally articulated arm system. The Type MB model has three vertical rotation axes instead of two (as Model MA has). Its operation, control, and tool attachment for lifting tools is in general the same as for Type MA.
The features with Model MB are that it can be built for very low ceiling heights. Also the outer arm of the machine can be designed according to special needs. Therefore it is easier and less expensive to make a special manipulator of Model MB than Model MA. Another feature with Model MB is that it can be built for much larger off center loads than Model MA. The "reach in/under" capability can also be very large for this model.
Our standard sizes of Model MB are shown in the technical specifications. However we also make much bigger machines for loads up to 500 kg.

Off-Centre Loads
Due to its robust design, the Ergolift can withstand high off-centre loads. The load can thus be held and transported at a large distance (a) from the tool attachment (see the adjacent figure).
This ability of the Ergolift to reach into and under objects makes it effective and useful for many tasks that ordinay lifting equipment cannot tackle, such as the handling of workpieces at presses, drilling machines, milling machines, furnaces, cabinets, conveyour systems, etc. One man using the Ergolift can thus handle and balance large loads. such as doors, wall elements, panels, long shafts, pipes etc., which earlier requires at least two men. And he can do it more quickly, conveniently and safely.
