Multi Use GL9
New GL9 Lift Built to Multi-Task
Our GL9 GoLift is the newest in our line of ergonomic material handling lifts. This particular machine was built for a cast parts manufacturer to perform a variety of tasks at their facility. The lift will be used to carry and dump garbage cans into a dumpster and to move a heavy cart of casting supplies. Both of those tasks are common uses of the GoLlifts, but this particular customized material handling equipment was designed for an additional task. The casting is performed by a robotic arm that dips cast into slurry and then places on to a conveyor to continue on. The robotic arm must remain in constant production. As the arm moves the cast part from slurry to conveyor some dripping occurs. To protect the factory floor large sheets of cardboard are placed in the drip path. The janitor needs to be able to quickly and ergonomically pull the large sheets onto a cart for disposal. The GoLift is equipped with a jib winch with a clamp on the end that can grab and drag the cardboard quickly, keeping the robotic arm in production.
GoLifts are an excellent tool for increased productivity and lowering injury risks.

GoLift 3 Replaced by GoLift 9
An All Power, Counterbalanced, Compact Lifting Machine
For the last few years, the GoLift GL3 was our heavy lifter with no front stabilizers. The design was often required when the load did not allow for the front stabilizers to engage below or to the side of the load. However, our GoLifts have evolved a lot over the past couple years. With the birth of the GL7, the GoLift earned it’s title as the most compact lift. The single rear wheel allows it to move in 360 degrees, within it’s own footprint! That is a really nice feature when working it tight quarters. The GL3 was the bulkiest of our machines because of the counterbalance weight required to lift over 350 pounds with no front stabilizers. The four wheel with powered rear wheels design worked great in many environments but had a few draw backs. Such issues included; if the load was driving across a side slant, the machine would tend to crab walk down the incline and turning the machine required some physical exertion on the part of the user. The all new GL9 takes the best of the GL3 and GL7 to create an all power, compact, counterbalanced lifting device.
