Precision Power for Every Lift
Electric and Hydraulic Grippers
At UNIMAN s.r.o., we design and manufacture advanced electric and hydraulic grippers for professional material handling, lifting, and manipulation of heavy or complex loads. Our powered grippers combine the strength of hydraulics and the precision of electric control to deliver safe, efficient, and accurate load handling across a wide range of industrial applications.
Our electric and hydraulic grippers are part of UNIMAN’s specialized gripping equipment portfolio. Developed in the Czech Republic and trusted by customers across Europe and Asia, these grippers represent the latest in industrial handling technology. Each unit is engineered and manufactured in-house — from mechanical design and fabrication to hydraulic and electrical integration — ensuring the highest levels of quality, reliability, and durability.
These grippers are designed to grip, lift, turn, overturn, and move your work safely and efficiently. Whether you are handling steel plates, concrete components, circular flanges, coils, or other heavy elements, our powered gripping systems provide controlled and repeatable operation with minimal operator effort.
Function and Operation
Our electric and hydraulic grippers are designed for effortless operation:
- Positioning: The gripper is placed over or around the load, such as a plate, coil, or block.
- Activation: With the push of a button or control command, the electric or hydraulic system engages, applying uniform pressure to the load.
- Lifting and Movement: Once the load is secured, it can be safely lifted, rotated, or transported as required.
- Release: The control system reverses the gripping action to release the load smoothly and safely.
These systems can be operated manually, semi-automatically, or fully automatically, depending on configuration. Integration into existing lifting or handling equipment is straightforward, and every unit is designed to meet European safety and performance standards.
Design and Construction
Every UNIMAN electric or hydraulic gripper is built with robust steel construction and precision-machined components. The structural frame ensures stability and load safety, while the powered mechanisms — either hydraulic cylinders or electric motor drives, deliver consistent and adjustable gripping force.
All grippers are assembled using high-grade materials and components, with careful attention to ergonomics, safety, and service life. The result is a product that withstands intensive industrial use and performs reliably under demanding conditions.
Each unit undergoes full mechanical and functional testing before delivery, including load verification, safety calibration, and performance trials. Depending on the application, grippers can be delivered as custom-built solutions with specific jaw configurations, control interfaces, or integration options for cranes, hoists, or automated systems.
Advantages
- Power and Precision Combined: Electric and hydraulic actuation ensures high gripping force with precise control.
- High Load Capacity: Designed to handle heavy and oversized loads with ease.
- Increased Productivity: Faster handling cycles and reduced downtime compared to manual gripping.
- Safety First: Built-in locking and safety mechanisms ensure secure load handling and operator protection.
- Durable Industrial Design: Engineered for continuous use in harsh industrial environments.
- Custom Solutions: Each gripper can be adapted for specific dimensions, loads, and working conditions.
- Seamless Integration: Suitable for cranes, hoists, robotic arms, and automated production lines.
