Industrial Manipulators and Articulating Arms
Givens Lifting Systems offers pneumatically-balanced manual lift assists identified as industrial manipulators. Our industrial manipulators are manufactured in the United States and are designed to easily allow operators to lift and position parts as if they were an extension of their own arm. Our high-speed, high-performance industrial manipulators and articulating arms are the manual material-handling solution that renders the load virtually weightless to the operator. Since there are typically no up or down push buttons, operators can focus on moving the load quickly rather than what button to push. Unlike a crane, industrial manipulators can help to support a load that might be offset from the axis of the end effector.

Types of Industrial Manipulators
Industrial Manipulators for Brake Press
Givens Lifting Systems' industrial manipulators for brake press use a patented end effector that moves a metal sheet through a brake press. The brake press manipulator is a style of industrial manipulator that allows one operator to perform the tasks efficiently that would normally be performed by two.
Slide-Column Industrial Manipulators
The Side-Column industrial manipulator was designed by Givens Lifting Systems to provide a rigid column with high mobility. It combines the best features of manipulators with the great travel of a crane. Slide-column manipulators are particularly helpful when it comes to larger loads, minimizing the swinging that would normally make it difficult to place a load.
Specially-Mounted Custom Manipulators
At Givens Lifting Systems, we can create custom and specially-mounted industrial manipulators to suit your unique projects. Our specially-mounted custom manipulators can be mounted on a crane to allow for exceptional travel and can also be mounted on taller columns when greater height is required.
What Can Industrial Manipulators Do?
- Industrial manipulators can reach into enclosed spaces (such as a vehicle)
- Manipulators reach under obstructions
- Industrial manipulators and articulating arms offer greater placement precision than is possible with a crane
- Generally, industrial offer faster cycle times than cranes
End Effector Components for Industrial Manipulators
An important component of every manipulator is the end effector. Consisting of handlebars, gripper, and rotation component an end effector can cost around the same amount of the industrial manipulator itself. End effectors are unique because they have to be custom designed for the part that they are lifting, unlike manipulators that can be mass-produced. At Givens Lifting Systems, we manufacture and stock end effector components, such as handlebars, grippers, bearing assemblies, and rotation units. All of our end effector components are designed based off of research and are tested to ensure optimal performance.
