Ergotronix Material Handling Equipment

Posted September 3, 2021

What Do You Imagine?

What do you think of when someone mentions material handling equipment?

Maybe of the big fork lift trucks that lift and transport large, bulky, heavy, awkward objects with large footprints. Ergotronix does not build fork lift trucks, but compact, elegant lifts and transporters that are flexible and easy to manually move from point A to point B. They provide height adjustability and versatility with smooth transitions and increase precision.

Ergo Tranz Lift Transporter

She’s more than just a pretty face. The ErgoTranz is a compact lift transporter that features a small footprint and enables easy lifting and transporting around your shop floor. Because we build all our equipment around the operator and the workplace, this material handling device is optimum in confined spaces or tight isles. The Ergo Tranz can be equipped with a broad range of attachments or end effectors that eliminate manual lifting or carrying within the workplace. Awkward positioning or strain on the operator’s body when trying to lift, move, or handle a heavy object load up to 600 lbs, is now significantly reduced, or totally eliminated. This powerful yet lightweight fortress does all the heavy lifting and transporting. With the broad range of standard attachments, the ErgoTranz can be used as a smart stacker, roll handler, transfer cart, etc. Custom solutions, to solve your specific industrial application are also available.

The ErgoTranz flexibility and strength are unmatched.

Lift adjustment can be controlled from a hand pendant, foot pedal, or from an automated PLC input. The Ergo-I need little to no maintenance – as you can read in our testimonials – which makes the Ergo I another time and cost-effective material handling solution. This space-saving footprint of only 10” will leave you in awe at its many functions and versatile flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does Ergotronix not build forklifts?

Because forklifts already solve the long-distance palletized load problem well. The gap sits at the workstation, where loads are too heavy to handle by hand but too close, too awkward, or too precise for a truck. That is the space these machines are built for.

What does compact and elegant mean for a machine on a shop floor?

Small footprint, clean lines, and no exposed mechanism in the operator’s working space. It matters practically as well as visually: a machine with its mechanism enclosed collects less debris, is easier to clean around, and puts fewer pinch points near the operator’s hands.

How much space does equipment like this need compared with a forklift?

Considerably less, which is usually why it gets chosen. A forklift needs aisle width for its turning radius and clearance for its mast. Workstation equipment is specified against the cell it sits in, so the comparison to make is against your available space rather than against a published radius.

Can this equipment be moved between work areas?

Some of it, yes. Lift transporters are mobile by design, and several positioner models offer mobile options. Lift columns and conveyor rollers are installed rather than moved. Ask about mobility before ordering if the station is likely to be relocated.

What should we do with the equipment we already have?

Keep what works. Most installations sit alongside existing handling equipment rather than replacing it, taking over the specific tasks where manual effort or awkward posture is still present. The aim is to close the gap in the process, not to replace the process.
