ErgoMove moves heavy spare parts with ease

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 realise individual, customer-specific solutions. The end customer is one of the world's largest manufacturers of agricultural, construction and forestry machinery.

EXPRESSO produces trolleys for picking spare parts for agricultural machinery for its end customer. This involves transporting loads of up to 1,000 kilograms. 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 maximum occupational safety.

Blickle offers the perfect solution with the ErgoMove 1000 electric drive system with force sensors. It enables intuitive movement of loads of up to 1,000 kilograms and is particularly ergonomic for the operator. The powerful and quickly replaceable rechargeable batteries guarantee long-term availability. Maximum safety is ensured by the electromechanical dead man's brakes, which prevent uncontrolled or unauthorised movement. Customer-specific requirements such as the interface to the existing external release system via chips were implemented as requested. The software was also customised 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 24/7 availability of the systems for transporting heavy loads,’ reports Maximilian Kühn, Team Leader Sales Field Service at EXPRESSO. ‘The seamless integration into our release system also optimises authorisation control and the tracking of run times and distances.’
