ANVER Ergonomic Vacuum Lifting Systems ANVER vacuum tube lifters are ergonomic lift assist devices that can help you increase your productivity while offering an ergonomic solution to your material handling needs. ANVER VT Vacuum Tube Lifting Systems allow the operator to grab the load (via vacuum suction), support, lift and lower the load without the need for an external hoist, all by means of a single operator control. The use of vacuum suction pads for attachment allows objects to be lifted without fear of damage to the surface or edges of the product, often caused by manual lifts or grabs. A Power Loss Safety Valve built into the 360° top swivel slowly lowers the load if power supply is interrupted.

What is Ergonomics? Ergonomics is the science and practice of designing jobs or workplaces to match the capabilities and limitations of the human body. In a production environment, the goal of ergonomics is to maximize worker efficiency while minimizing the negative impact on the worker. As reported by the U.S. Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 4 out of 10 injuries and illnesses resulting in time away from work in the most recent reporting year were sprains or strains, most often involving the back.

Below are some useful industry and regulatory links to aid you in your efforts at improving your work place operating environment. We hope you’ll consider ANVER as part of your improvement process.
