Mobile Industrial Manipulators are precisely what their name suggests – mobile! These manipulators have a column mounted onto a robust base, typically crafted from steel slabs or a concrete foundation. Transporting the manipulator between different locations often requires a forklift due to its weight.

Each mobile manipulator base is custom-designed to handle the specific moment load according to the manipulator’s rated capacity. When relocating the manipulator, it’s crucial to check and ensure the base is level and re-level it if necessary.

While lower capacity manipulators may come equipped with casters, larger models require pneumatic brakes that firmly secure the system in place during operation. Despite having casters, it’s important to note that these systems can weigh hundreds of pounds, making swift relocation challenging.
