Moving Heavy Loads. Precisely. Safely. Flexibly.
Electric Drive Assistance in Machine and Plant Engineering
In machine and plant engineering, transport tasks are rarely standardized: Different components, weights, and space constraints each require their own solutions. This is exactly where traditional transport carts quickly reach their limits—especially in tight spaces, with frequent changes in direction, or when requirements vary. With ErgoMove, you can rely on a flexible, customizable solution: Move assemblies, tools, control cabinets, and fixtures weighing up to several metric tons ergonomically, precisely, and safely—tailored exactly to your specific application.
Challenges in Mechanical Engineering
We understand the typical challenges faced in the field: Whether heavy assemblies, bulky tools, mobile machines, or custom fixtures—in mechanical and plant engineering, loads must be moved, positioned, and maneuvered on a daily basis. No two applications are alike.
- Heavy and bulky assemblies often have to be moved and positioned manually
- Awkward shapes and heavy weights make controlled approach, maneuvering, and braking even more difficult
- This results in excessive physical exertion, strenuous movements, and increased risk in day-to-day work
- Limited maneuvering space, narrow aisles, and confusing routes make precise maneuvers time-consuming and error-prone
- Slopes within the plant also significantly complicate wheeled transport
- Increased time requirements and collision risks during ongoing operations
In mechanical and plant engineering, no two transport situations are alike:
- Different weights
- Geometries
- Space constraints
always require specific solutions. Standardized transport methods often reach their limits because they are difficult to integrate into existing processes and environments.
The Solution: ErgoMove
ErgoMove combines ergonomics, safety, and cost-effectiveness in a flexible solution for the machine-building industry. Existing transport carts or custom systems can be easily upgraded and adapted directly to real-world processes.
ErgoMove reduces the load of pulling and pushing heavy loads—thereby promoting healthier working conditions.
Controlled starting, steering, and braking ensure greater safety in everyday work—even with fluid or unstable loads.
Smooth movement in tight spaces—with an exceptionally small turning radius.
Retrofitting often allows existing transport equipment to be upgraded cost-effectively.
A cost-effective alternative when an AGV is too complex or inflexible.
Suitable for demanding production environments and 24/7 operation—even with frequent start-stop cycles.
ErgoMove – The Modular System
ErgoMove is a highly flexible, modular system that equips all types of transport vehicles, machines, and systems with electrically powered drive, steering, and braking assistance via plug-and-play. It combines operating concepts with drive concepts and supplements them with options. This allows even the heaviest loads—up to 4,000 kilograms—to be moved safely and easily by hand.
Driven fixed castors in various performance classes enable ergonomic movement and braking of heavy loads.
Intuitive and ergonomically designed human-machine interface for easy adaptability to machines and devices of all kinds.
Rounding off/completing the range for adapting the system to application-specific requirements.
