Hovmand GmbH

Hovmand provides intelligent options for lifting and moving reels. From lifting aids for handling reels with booms or V-Blocks to special constructions which grip reels either at the core or from the outside and then turn them either manually or electrically.

Our lifting aids enhance virtually any process involving lifting and transportation. Workflow efficiency is then improved by larger reels being used, easier lifting of reels from pallets, direct loading into packaging machines, and the positioning of reels at very high or very low heights. All this can be done single-handedly by one person. Downtimes are then reduced and warehousing space used more effectively by stacking reels higher. Such benefits help to reduce production costs and often enable unsuitable lifting and conveying equipment to be disposed of.
 

Hovmand supplies equipment to lift and carry boxes, drums, reels and other items. Our mobile battery-powered lifters optimize workflows and eliminate inappropriate lifting and handling. You improve the material flow and increase efficiency. And in addition: work life and job satisfaction. Shown here: Impact 80.
Impact 80 is a reliable lifter designed for lifting and moving various items weighing up to 80 kg. The lifter is working noiseless, has built-in charger and battery indicator. The quick change adapter make it possible and easy to use one lifter with several tools, which provides high flexibility in the daily workflow.

The QC3 electric gripper can be combined with the very light and manoeuvrable Impact 130-3 and INOX 90-3 lifters to open up new options for the safe and efficient handling of packaging material and drums of up to 60 kg.

For example, you can take reels from a stack and insert them directly into a machine. The QC3 performs this task while conforming to work and safety regulations and without physical strain. Its special grip and turn function also enables you to grip drums and empty their contents from heights of up to 2.20 m. Furthermore, the QC3 means your existing infrastructure can be better utilised, and involves no costly conversion work – the ideal lifting aid for production, hygiene areas, warehousing and logistics.

Manual or electrical reel manipulators grip the inside of the reel core with expanding grippers. They are then able to transport, lift and turn reels. The reel manipulators can tilt reels for direct loading into packaging machines. These tools enable the easy lifting of reels even when they are closely stacked.
 

The Hovmand lift can be equipped with a range of tools to enable the easy and problem-free handling of reels. A single boom lifts reels from the core. A double boom lifts reels from underneath leaving the reel’s core accessible. The horizontally rotatable V-Block lifts reels from underneath.
