Haeco, Loveland, Ohio, has launched a new, 880-pound capacity ergonomic manipulator for maneuvering and orienting heavy loads. The Famatec Friendly manipulator counterbalances heavy loads to allow an operator to suspend, rotate, tilt, and transfer product with precision. It is suitable for pallet loading, handling wheels, bags, dashboards, and small engines, or wood, glass plate, and barrels. Three different models offer load capacities of 330, 550 and 880 pounds, with a working radius of 20 feet. Available exclusively from Haeco, the Friendly costs less than an average worker's compensation back-injury claim, according to the company.
