Henshaw offers a whole product solution
for advanced manufacturing and material handling environments. The
entire line of Henshaw’s ergonomic lift assist systems is based on
over 20 years of experience and a solid understanding of what it
takes to increase the productivity and safety of operators. Henshaw
Ergonomic Lift Assist Systems provide operators with the ability to
lift, move, balance, rotate, and position most tools or materials –
from less than 10 pounds up to 500 pounds – with a minimum of
effort.
With any installation, using a Henshaw
Ergonomic Lift Assist can help reduce fatigue, back strain, and
other common accidents that cause work place injuries and loss of
work. As a result, manufacturing costs can be reduced and production
volume is more consistent. In addition to the “standard” lift assist
systems, Henshaw can solve your material handling requirements by
designing and manufacturing a custom lift assist system for your
“non-standard” application.
Near Effortless
Travel

Light-duty Manipulating Arm with
Dual- Smooth™ shafts for
torque reaction application |
Our engineered ergonomic solutions
leverage a component-based strategy to best meet our customers’
specific needs and feature technologies that provide near effortless
travel. The Henshaw line includes:Henshaw Manipulating and Articulating
Arms are used to suspend fastening tools and for material handling
applications (up to 500 pounds), and feature parallelogram tubes and
a pneumatic balance cylinder. The base of these arms is attached to
a 360-degree swivel bearing that allows the operator to reach the
entire work area.
Henshaw Manipulating Arms feature an
exclusive Dual-Smooth™ double telescoping torque shafts that absorb
torque reaction from fastening tools in all axes and extend the
operator’s reach with fluid movement. Henshaw Articulating Arms
feature a second vertical axis pivot at the end of the parallelogram
tubes along with an extension that allows the operator to reach the
entire work area.

Larger Manipulating and Articulating Arms feature
our unique Tri-Tube Stability System™. Henshaw Manipulating and
Articulating arms can be floor mounted, tabletop mounted, or
suspended from a Henshaw four-trolley carriage to run on an overhead
rail system.
Henshaw Vertical Balancers are designed
to assist the operator in material handling tasks. The three models
of Henshaw Vertical Balancers, with load ranges up to 350 pounds,
feature our unique Dual Smooth™ vertical torque shaft system and a
pneumatic balance cylinder. This system maintains
proper part orientation when the load is offset to the shafts. These
Vertical Balancers can be used with a variety of rail systems and
will swivel 360-degrees to allow coverage of the entire work area.
End of Arm
Tooling
To complete our lift assist systems,
we offer custom designed End of Arm Tooling or “grabs” – mechanical
devices that grasp or secure the material or tool to be moved or
repositioned.

Ergonomic Lift Assist Components
Henshaw offers several components that
are developed to enable companies to construct ergonomic material
handling devices in-house. These components are designed utilizing
the latest CAD software available and built with the same attention
to detail as all of Henshaw’s proprietary products.
Available components include:
• Four-trolley carriage
• Overhead pivot bearings
• Mid-pivot bearing package with adjustable stops
• Our Henshaw Intuitive Touch-screen Station™ (HITS™)
HITS™ makes nearly all ergonomic material handling systems
