Ingersoll Rand (IR) remains a major manufacturer of industrial tools and equipment, all of which are available in Canada from Dobco Equipment. Among IR’s impressive inventory is its group of lifting and material-handling equipment – ranging from support structures to cranes and hoists, but also ergonomic handling devices and end effectors.

IR has more than half a century’s worth of experience in designing and building standard and custom handling devices and lift assists.

A complete range of solutions

Known by various names – handling devices, end effectors, or lift assists – these products are essential to factory and manufacturing environments where goods need to be transported to other areas. Ingersoll Rand produces a complete range of handling solutions, from simple devices to the most complex designs. Companies can choose from a variety of handling devices that can work with loads of up to 450 kilograms, using vacuum, clamp, probe, trap, or hook-style designs.

A significant advantage of IR handling devices is that the manufacturer designs all of them with user safety as a top priority. Every one of these products is fully compliant with the safety standards of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, specifically the ASME B30.20 specification for Below-the-Hook Lifting Devices. Almost every end effector also has a safety interlock system that prevents users from accidentally disengaging parts during transfers.

Factory employees work more comfortably and effectively with IR’s handling devices, creating a safer, more productive, and more efficient workplace. Here are the types of IR end effectors that Dobco provides:
