vertliftPositech's pneumatic Vertical Lift Cylinder is ideal for straight line transfers, over-the-assembly line handling and reach-in operations when combined with an overhead rail system or a Positech Articulated Jib Boom. Exceptional off-center payload handling for reach-in applications is derived from Positech's heavy duty industry leading design, which uses external cylinder tie rods and dual linear bearings. The Vertical Lift Cylinder is available in four model configurations and provides up to 2,500 pounds of payload capacity.

For Performance and Quality

  • Up to 24,000 inch pounds of moment loading for extended reach payload applications
  • 360° continuous rotation around vertical axis
  • Includes air filter/regulator system
  • Standard flange mounting for adaptability to a variety of custom end-effectors
  • Precision linear bearings for smooth motion and long life
  • Standard pistol grip or optional ergonomic twist grip controls
  • Mounting Options: single arm jib crane, Positech Articulated Jib Boom or trolley/overhead bridge crane
