A Heat Exchanger Handling Manipulator is a specialized ergonomic lifting device designed to manage the high weight and awkward dimensions of heat exchanger units during manufacturing, assembly, or maintenance.
Heat exchangers (whether shell-and-tube, plate, or finned) are notoriously difficult to handle because they are heavy, dense, and often fragile—their external fins or internal tubes can be easily damaged by standard chains or rough forklift handling.
Key Functionalities
These manipulators provide “zero-gravity” or weightless movement, allowing a single operator to perform complex maneuvers:
