HANDLING DEVICES FOR DEMANDING USE

Custom-made solutions for the safe and efficient handling of parts from our special containers as well as stand-alone applications.

FROM THE CONTAINER TO SAFE HANDLING

At STEINBAUER, we develop and manufacture custom-made handling devices as a natural part of our special transport containers. We solve the entire handling process – from the safe removal of the component from the container, through its movement and positioning, to its handover to the next production or service step.

A TECHNICAL SOLUTION FOR THE SPECIFIC COMPONENT

Each device is created for a specific part, its weight, centre of gravity, handling points and the real manner of use. We verify and document the design and test it according to the requirements of the project. The result is a functional unit connecting the container, the component and safe handling.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HANDLING DEVICES

Yes. We develop each device according to the specific component, its weight, geometry, centre of gravity, handling points and the required working procedure.

We can develop the handling device simultaneously with the container. This allows us to coordinate the positioning of the component, operator access, lifting points and the entire process of safe removal and re-insertion.

Depending on the application, we combine aluminium, steel, rubber and protective elements, handles, levers, high-strength fastening material, hydraulic systems, certified slings and certified lifting points.

Yes. We determine the scope of verification according to the function, load and requirements of the project. We check the functionality, stability and safe behaviour of the structure; according to the assignment, defined load and functional tests can also be carried out.

Yes. We adapt the scope of documentation to the project. It includes a basic drawing, a technical data sheet, a declaration of conformity, technical parameters and, where applicable, instructions for use and maintenance and inspection records.

Yes. We prepare the design solution with regard to the specific application, the manner of use, the customer’s requirements and the relevant technical and safety standards, with a sufficient safety factor. We always define the specific scope of requirements for the given project.

Yes, we always use certified slings, lifting points and corresponding high-strength fastening elements with regard to the designed load and the method of handling.

Yes. As needed, we integrate hydraulic systems, levers, handles, positioning and locking elements or other mechanisms that simplify and refine the handling of the component.

The ideal input is 3D data or a drawing of the component, its weight, the position of the centre of gravity, the required handling points, a description of the working procedure and information about the environment in which the device will be used.

Yes. The greatest benefit comes from the joint development of the container, the internal fixation and the handling device as one system. However, we also develop devices for stand-alone applications and existing logistics solutions.

EVERYTHING UNDER ONE ROOF

From the analysis of the handling process through design and production to testing and documentation, we handle the entire project under one roof. Thanks to the direct link to our special containers, we can design a functional system for the transport and subsequent handling of the component.

1. Custom development and design
We start with the specific component and the real working procedure. We address geometry, weight, centre of gravity, ergonomics, handling points, the required lifts and safe positioning.

2. Materials and technical components
Depending on the requirements of the project, we combine structural and functional elements:

  • steel and aluminium
  • rubber and protective elements
  • handles, levers and high-strength fastening material
  • hydraulic systems and mechanical elements
  • certified slings and certified lifting points

3. Connection with the special container
We design the device and the container as one functional system. We optimise access to the component, its safe release from the fixation, removal, movement and subsequent storage or positioning.

4. Testing and verification
We functionally verify the finished device according to the requirements of the project. We determine the scope of testing according to the design, load and manner of use, and it may include inspection, functional and defined load tests.

5. Documentation and standards
We prepare technical documentation for the solution to the extent required by the specific project. We design the structure with regard to the relevant technical and safety requirements, standards and the customer’s internal standards.

6. Assembly and final solution
We assemble the device as a functional unit, including mechanical, hydraulic, protective and handling elements. The goal is safe, intuitive and efficient handling precisely linked to the product and its logistics process.
