Gorbel G-Force
Intelligent Assist Devices

The Gorbel G-Force and Gorbel Easy Arm are part of a new family of Material Handling equipment known as Intelligent Assist Devices (IAD's).

The G-Force™ Intelligent Lifting Device uses patented technology and an industrial processor controlled drive system to deliver unmatched lifting precision and speed.

The Easy Arm™ Intelligent Lfiting Arm uses Gorbel's patented G-Force^T technology and an industrial processor controlled drive system, integrated them into an ergonomic articulating jib design. 

How G-Force Works

The G-Force enables operators to lift and maneuver naturally, as if the device were an extension of their own arm.  The G-Force will help improve productivity, reduce the cost of product damage, and minimize work related injuries. 

The G-Force is available in the iQ Series.  The iQ Series are available in 165, 330, 660 and 1320 pound capacities.  The G-Force is also available integrated with our Easy Arm articulating jib crane.

Features:

• Pinpoint precision - speeds from 1 foot per minute (0.3 mpm) up to 275 fpm (83mpm)
• Blazing speed - travels up to 4 times faster than traditional high end lifting devices
• Infinite speed control - ideal for applications that require high speed at some points in the cycle and slow, precise movements at other points

The G-Force Intelligent Lifting Device gives the responsiveness and flexibility of a human operator plus the power of a machine. It incorporates a range of speeds so it is perfect for quick, repetitive motions and slow, precise placements.

• Speeds up to 200 ft. per minute
• Can cover multiple work cells
• Rapid return on investment through increased productivity and reduced product damage
• Decreases risk of operator injury creating a safer work environment
• Higher environmental ratings (more tolerant to dust and liquid)
• Enhances job performance

Also Available: G-Force® iQ Series, with additional intelligence features
