Gorbel Inc. will exhibit the latest addition to its line of G-Force intelligent lifting devices at NA08, which will be held at the I-X Center, Cleveland, Ohio, USA, from April 21-24.
The new Q and iQ units are available in a 660lb (330kg) capacity, extending the capacity of the G-Force product line beyond the previous limit of 380lbs.
The Q 660 is the base model, which comes loaded with many standard options. The iQ 660 is the more advanced unit that comes standard with added programmability for increased flexibility.
Gorbel said: “The Q and iQ units combine the responsiveness of a human operator with the power of a machine. They are capable of more precise placement than traditional hoists, plus they’re more responsive than traditional air balancers.”
By giving operators greater control over the lodas that they are lifting and placing, the G-Force Q and iQ can improve operator safety, product quality, and overall productivity in that work cell, it added.
The Q and iQ 660 units are ideal for larger capacity lifting applications, including lifting fully dressed engines and transmissions, changing out expensive machine tooling and dies on production machinery, heavy equipment manufacturing, and large valve assembly for the oil and natural gas industry.
