Unlike traditional hoists, intelligent lifting devices respond to the operator’s movements, making it easier to lift, move, and position loads with greater control and less physical effort.

The Gorbel Easy Arm combines G-Force intelligent lifting technology with an articulating jib crane in one complete system. It responds to the operator’s movements for precise, controlled load handling, with lifting speeds up to four times faster than traditional lifting devices.

• Capacity: Up to 660 lbs.
• Lifting Speed: Up to 180 ft/min.
• Rotation: 360°
• Configurations: Freestanding and underhung
• Reach: Up to 14 ft., depending on configuration

✓ Tasks involving repetitive lifting and positioning
✓ Assembly and manufacturing environments
✓ Ergonomic load handling
✓ High-cycle pick-and-place operations
✓ Moving loads around machines or other obstacles
✓ Facilities needing a turnkey lifting solution

The Gorbel G-Force responds to the operator’s movements for precise, controlled load handling. It can be integrated with compatible crane systems, with up to 70% faster load handling and 51% greater precision compared to traditional lifting methods.

• Capacity: Up to 1,320 lbs.
• Lifting Speed: Up to 200 ft/min.
• Lift Range: Up to 11 ft., depending on configuration

✓ Precision lifting and advanced load control
✓ High-speed manufacturing environments
✓ Applications requiring programmable functionality
✓ Handling delicate or variable-weight loads
✓ Multi-cell work environments
✓ Facilities needing enhanced productivity and process control

Gorbel G-Force can be integrated with compatible overhead crane systems to provide responsive lifting wherever loads need to be moved and positioned.

With Easy Arm or G-Force, the lifting device is only half the solution. Its real performance comes from its end-of-arm tooling. Whether that involves vacuum, magnetic, or mechanical gripping, our engineers can design tooling to handle virtually any type of material or product.

Here are the most commonly used types of grippers, lifters, and handlers.

Mechanical Grippers: Provide a strong, reliable grip for repeatable handling. Best for rigid parts, metal components, and assemblies.

Vacuum Lifters: Deliver fast pick-and-place with minimal product damage. Best for boxes, sheets, panels, glass, and porous materials.

Magnetic Lifters: Great for quick engagement that doesn’t require mechanical clamping. Best for steel plates, machined parts, and stampings.

Drum & Barrel Lifters: Provide safe lifting with controlled rotation or dispensing. Best for drums, barrels, and cylindrical containers.

Roll & Coil Handlers: Recommended for secure handling that doesn’t damage cores or edges. Best for paper rolls, films, coils, or textiles.

Custom Application Tooling: Delivers a tailored solution that maximizes productivity and ergonomics. Best for unique or complex parts.

RMH is a trusted partner for companies of all sizes across the United States. These are just a few of the many crane projects we’ve completed.

This customer is a leading manufacturer of paper products.

Workers had to repeatedly move 50-lb paper roll cores using air balancers, making the task physically difficult and inefficient. Airborne paper dust clogged the balancers’ valve assemblies, causing instability, frequent equipment failures, and reduced productivity.

✓ Improved reliability in dusty conditions
✓ Reduced equipment issues and downtime
✓ Increased productivity
✓ Better control and maneuverability
✓ Easier core changes
✓ Improved worker satisfaction

A Canadian powder coating company needed a safer, more efficient way to load and unload grain bin foundations from its powder coating line. The existing process required two employees and a forklift, creating a bottleneck while increasing the potential for worker injury.

• Slow, labor-intensive loading and unloading process
• Two employees required to handle the grain bin foundations
• Loading and unloading created a bottleneck in production
• Manual handling increased the potential for worker injury
• Customer needed a safer way to move heavy products on and off the line

RMH Systems implemented a Gorbel G-Force intelligent lifting device to assist with loading and unloading the grain bin foundations.

Operators use the G-Force to lift each foundation from a stack and place it onto hooks that carry the product through the powder coating process. At the end of the line, the same lifting device is used to remove and stack the finished product.

✓ 50% reduction in labor requirements
✓ Eliminated loading and unloading as a production bottleneck
✓ Improved safety during product handling
✓ Created a more efficient loading and unloading process

An Iowa seed company needed a safer, more efficient way for employees to handle boxes weighing up to 70 lbs. throughout its testing process. RMH Systems designed an ergonomic lifting solution that eliminated much of the manual lifting while helping workers move boxes more efficiently.

• Employees repeatedly handled boxes weighing up to 70 lbs.

• Repetitive heavy lifting caused worker fatigue and back problems
• Fatigue contributed to production slowdowns
• The company needed to improve both ergonomics and productivity
• Boxes had to be moved from pallets to conveyors, workbenches, and back to containers or pallets

RMH Systems implemented an ergonomic lifting system consisting of a 500-lb.-capacity freestanding workstation crane, 165-lb.-capacity Gorbel G-Force lifter, and AIMCO vacuum lifting tool.

The integrated system allows operators to lift, position, and move heavy boxes throughout the process with significantly less physical effort.

✓ Eliminated reported back issues following implementation
✓ Reduced worker fatigue
✓ Made heavy boxes easier to lift and maneuver
✓ Improved efficiency throughout the handling process

With RMH Systems, you have one team behind your intelligent lifting device from initial design through ongoing support.
