Custom Pneumatic Traverses – A Key Element of the Air-Lift Offer
Our company primarily operates as a manufacturer of pneumatic traverses — equipment used for safe and ergonomic handling of heavy components. These devices allow secure and precise movement of plates, sheets, glass, or structural elements, significantly reducing the risk of material damage. Each traverse is designed with maximum functionality and operator comfort in mind, and the components used ensure reliability in daily operation, even in demanding industrial environments.
Autonomous Battery-Powered Traverses – Mobility and Independence
One of the most important areas of Air-Lift’s activity is the production of battery-powered pneumatic traverses, which do not require a constant connection to a power source. This allows them to be used with any lifting device — from cranes to workshop hoists. The battery capacity ensures uninterrupted operation for up to 8 hours, and charging can be done anywhere — this solution significantly increases device mobility and reduces setup time.Air-Lift autonomous vacuum suspensions are used in many industries. They are ideal for transporting magnetic and non-magnetic sheets, laminated panels, glass, windows, or plastic components. Thanks to their mobility and versatility, they improve daily material logistics in production facilities. Our design and production of pneumatic traversesalso includes adaptation to limited spaces, which provides a clear advantage over traditional transport systems.
Intuitive Operation and High Safety Standards
Air-Lift traverse design promotes ease of use. After activating the vacuum generation module, the operator positions the device on the load and engages the slide valve. A built-in audible indicator signals when the proper vacuum level is reached, enabling safe lifting of the load. The use of robust, certified components and control systems ensures stable operation and maximum safety under all conditions.
Powered Pneumatic Traverses – Strength and Versatility
Another branch of our activities is the production of electrically powered pneumatic traverses — equipment designed to handle loads of up to 20,000 kg. These devices can be powered by electricity or compressed air, enabling continuous operation. The vacuum pump compensates for any air leaks, allowing safe handling of porous and irregular products.Air-Lift powered traverses feature a modular design, allowing them to be equipped with additional functions — such as rotation or tilt of the product in any axis in a range of 0–180°, driven electrically or pneumatically. This enables adaptation of the device to specific technological processes, increasing efficiency and safety when handling large loads. Additionally, each model can be customized to unusual load dimensions.
Industrial Applications of Powered Traverses
These devices are suitable for metalworking, woodworking, glass processing, and the production of large components. They allow the transport of both smooth and porous surfaces — from laminated panels to cast iron bodies or rusted sheets. As such, they represent a versatile solution for in-plant material handling. Their use contributes to smoother production processes and reduces costs associated with downtime.Manipulators and Handling Support Systems
Air-Lift’s offer also includes a range of devices supporting manual material handling. All are designed with ergonomics and operator safety in mind, and fully compatible with our pneumatic traverses and their actual areas of application. The systems we produce minimize physical effort for operators and ensure high repeatability of assembly operations.Depending on requirements, Air-Lift provides devices such as:
- industrial manipulators for in-plant transport of various products,
- electric tugs to facilitate movement of heavy loads,
- reaction arms for precision assembly arms,
- vacuum tube lifters for quick handling of bags and cartons,
- cranes and hoists supporting production processes,
- BalanceLift lifters for repeatable and precise handling.
This comprehensive range allows for the selection of systems perfectly adapted to the requirements of a given workstation and type of production. All devices can be integrated into coherent production lines, enhancing overall plant efficiency. We also provide advanced servicing of pneumatic manipulators and grippers — offering our clients not only reliable equipment but also a real guarantee of long-term performance.
