ErgoMove moves heavy spare parts with ease
Order picking trolleys run ergonomically in continuous operation
The customer
EXPRESSO Deutschland GmbH & Co KG is a premium manufacturer of lifting, handling and transport solutions. All products are manufactured in a modular system in order to be able to realize individual, customer-specific solutions. The end customer is one of the world's largest manufacturers of agricultural, construction and forestry machinery.
The challenge
EXPRESSO produces trolleys for picking spare parts for agricultural machinery for its end customers. Loads of up to 1,000 kilograms are transported. In order to move these heavy loads as easily and ergonomically as possible, the manufacturer was looking for an electric drive system. This had to be available around the clock, as the company works in multiple shifts. In addition, the batteries had to be easy to change and a chip system for unlocking and tracking the trolleys had to be integrated. EXPRESSO also attached particular importance to the highest level of occupational safety.
The solution
With the electric drive system ErgoMove 1000 with force sensor technology, Blickle offers the perfect solution. It enables loads of up to 1,000 kilograms to be moved intuitively and is particularly ergonomic for the operator. The powerful and quickly replaceable batteries ensure long-term availability. Maximum safety is provided by the electromechanical dead man's brakes, which prevent uncontrolled or unauthorized movement. Customer-specific requirements such as the interface to the existing external release system via chips were implemented as desired. In addition, the software was customized by the ErgoMove specialists to make the application even more efficient and user-friendly. EXPRESSO is delighted with the solution: "The use of ErgoMove has greatly improved our customer's processes. The powerful and quickly replaceable batteries ensure that the systems are available 24/7 for the transportation of heavy loads," reports Maximilian Kühn, EXPRESSO Sales Team Leader. "The seamless integration into our release system also optimizes authorization control and the tracking of transit times and distances."
