What Are Overhead Telescopic Masts?
Overhead telescopic masts are columns that provide vertical lifting of products. They can be raised or lowered to any desired height within their range of vertical movement. It is important to have a stable platform for the manipulation of components, and an overhead telescopic mast can provide this.
Overheard telescopic masts have a wide range of applications across all industries and can be supplied as a lift-only device or as part of a turnkey solution with a bespoke gripper to allow rotation and more complex manoeuvres.
Telescopic masts have proven to be a safe, robust, and effective solution for safely lifting heavy components weighing up to 800kg. To lift these heavy loads, they can use either an electric or a pneumatic power source, depending on the application. They can also be used with a light crane system when headroom is restricted.
For your tricky lifting and handling application and to find out if an overhead telescopic mast is the right solution for you, contact us today for a detailed assessment to help you solve your material handling problem.
Why Are Overhead Telescopic Masts Used?
Overhead telescopic masts are strong substitutes for pneumatic rope balancers or larger industrial manipulators when the work environment has overhead obstructions that prevent conventional material handling devices from being used.
Overhead telescopic masts are established pieces of lifting equipment for any industry. Yellow Goods manufacturers often use overhead telescopic masts with a bespoke gripper. Their ability to raise and lower objects requires low effort and reduces the strain on your workers’ backs from manual lifting.
The Benefits of using a Mobile Manipulator
Overhead telescopic masts are a robust tool to make repetitive tasks easier for workers. They can benefit your workers and business and can help in various ways:
- Lifting something too heavy for a person to handle manually.
- Raising an item to a location that is not easily accessible for the person.
- 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' Overhead Telescopic Mast Solution
This overhead telescopic mast solution can lift loads of up to 800kg and is attached to an overhead crane system allowing north, east, south and west travel—an essential feature for this fast-moving production line.
This solution is powered by an electric chain hoist. The up and down operations of the industrial manipulator are performed using a left-hand joystick. To ensure the action is deliberate, a right-hand master button also has to be held to move the manipulator.
Handling Concepts supplied this overhead telescopic mast as part of a complete turnkey solution. This included a bespoke hydraulic gripper for grabbing, lifting, moving, and rotating various product sizes for the customers.
The overhead telescopic mast removes the need for workers to both manually lift and manoeuvre objects around their workplace, reducing the risk of workplace injuries and improving the efficiency of the production line.
