Mobile Manipulators

Mobile Industrial Manipulators


Mobile Industrial Manipulators are precisely what their name suggests – mobile! These manipulators have a column mounted onto a robust base, typically crafted from steel slabs or a concrete foundation. Transporting the manipulator between different locations often requires a forklift due to its weight.

Each mobile manipulator base is custom designed to handle the specific moment load according to the manipulator’s rated capacity. When relocating the manipulator, it’s crucial to check and ensure the base is level and re-level it if necessary.

While lower capacity manipulators may come equipped with casters, larger models require pneumatic brakes that firmly secure the system in place during operation. Despite having casters, it’s important to note that these systems can weigh hundreds of pounds, making swift relocation challenging.

Applications of Mobile Manipulators


  • Temporary backup tool for a high-volume production process
  • Low volume material handling on high value assemblies spanning a long distance
  • Material handling for prototype assemblies or processes
  • Dynamic material handling floor layouts

The M120 manipulator, positioned on a moveable concrete base, specializes in hoisting and installing large turbine blades onto turbine shafts. Its mobility facilitates seamless movement along the assembly line once a section is finished. Upon completing the turbine blade installation, the manipulator can be easily relocated, clearing the way until the next turbine assembly is ready to begin.
