What Are Turning Grippers?
Turning grippers are robust lifting device used to lift, grab, and rotate components during assembly. They have a unique design that allows them to grip components with ease. Turning grippers feature a simple control panel that can be used by a single operator.
Turning grippers are efficient, safe and can turn over various loads. This makes them a worthwhile below-the-hook lifting device for overhead cranes. They increase the versatility of your lifting systems, providing equipment that removes the need for workers to handle the load.
Depending on the application, turning grippers can either be pneumatically or hydraulically powered. Both power supplies allow the device to apply enough force to lift the component and turn it over safely.
For your tricky lifting and handling application and to find out if a turning gripper is the right solution for you, contact us today for a detailed assessment to help you solve your material handling problem.
Why Are Turning Grippers Used?
Turning grippers are used when a cumbersome load needs to be rotated. During the manufacturing process, the product may need to be flipped 180 degrees to mate with certain components. Turning grippers handle this laborious task for the workers, reducing the risk of workplace accidents and improving production efficiency.
Below-the-hook lifting devices can have a variety of safe working loads. They can lift loads that are too heavy for a worker to handle.
They can also be supplied as part of a full turnkey solution. Turning grippers integrate well with various crane systems to complete a manual handling setup.
The Benefits Of Using Turning Grippers
Turning grippers is a safe and efficient solution to burdensome gripping, turning, and holding tasks, making them ideal for manufacturing industries. They can benefit your workers and business and can help in various ways:
- Lifting something too heavy for a person to handle manually.
- Reducing the risk of Musculoskeletal injuries and repetitive strain injury through incorrect manual handling.
- Avoid employee fatigue.
- Improving the efficiency of the production line.
- Reducing the risk of workplace accidents and damage to products

Handling Concepts' Turning Gripper Solution
This turning gripper solution can lift loads of up to 820kg. It grips stainless steel canisters, then lifts and turns them 180 degrees so workers can complete the assembly of the product.
The manufacturing process made it impossible for workers to handle the components without injury, so the turning gripper was designed for this single application.
Electric control is used with a hydraulic system so that the gripper can complete more complex manoeuvres and supply the force needed to lift and rotate the load.
It also uses a hook shifter to keep the centre of gravity underneath the hook point as it grips, balancing the load to lift it safely and securely.
The turning gripper enabled operators to turn over an unusually large load. This allowed workers to be removed from the manual handling process, improving health and safety and production performance.
