Ergonomic Lifting Study



Ergostudy cover

The Ergonomic Advantages of Intelligent Lifting Devices:

This summary is based on a study performed by the Rochester Institute of Technology. The complete study is available by contacting Gorbel at (800) 821-0086 or downloading it here.

The study compared the performance of Gorbel’s G-Force® Intelligent Lifting Device to manual lifting, an air balancer with pendant control, a variable frequency chain hoist, an electric balancer and an air balancer with electric controls.

The study focused on performance of these devices in the following applications:
High Cycle Applications
Precision Placements
Quick Change in Direction (Inertia Management)

FAQS - Ergonomic Lifting



How do I purchase Gorbel® products? 
Gorbel® products are sold through an extensive network of distributors across North America and in major markets throughout the world. Call us to find a Gorbel® distributor in your area.

Our serial number can be found on the crane itself, on the front of the installation & maintenance manual, on the general arrangement drawing, and on the order verfication. The serial number is a six character sequence: 123456

How do I order parts for my Gorbel® Product?

for other options or if you cannot locate the serial number.  

When is customer service available? 
Our customer service department can be reached Monday - Thursday 7am-6pm and Fridays from 7am-5pm Eastern Time. 

My G-Force® or Easy Arm™ unit isn't working right.  Who should I call first?
We encourage you to contact the dealer who sold you your unit first.  They are in a much better position to get to your site quickly to deal with situations that can't be handled over the phone.  If your dealer is unable to help you, you can call the Gorbel Service Department.

How do I adjust the speeds on my G-Force® or Easy Arm™ unit?
Put the unit into Program Mode and then use the Speed Menu.

Who should I contact if my order is lost or has missing or damaged parts? 
Make a note on the bill of lading of what is missing or damaged then contact the freight company. If items are damaged a freight claim will need to be filed immediately, as carriers will only accept claims during the two weeks following a delivery.
