Industrial Manipulators for Safe and Ergonomic Handling of Cans, Tanks & Containers
Dalmec industrial manipulators are used worldwide for lifting and positioning jerry cans, plastic and metal tanks, and closed or open-top containers across leading industries. Equipped with a wide range of custom gripping devices, they allow operators to lift, rotate, tilt, and precisely pour loads from 5 kg up to 900 kg with ease. Every system is engineered to improve throughput while delivering ergonomic support and reducing strain on the operator.
At Dalmec, safety and customization are at the core of every solution we deliver. All manipulators are manufactured in compliance with UNI EN standards, EC ATEX directives, and international safety guidelines. From functional analysis and technical design through simulations, prototype creation, and final implementation, our engineers work in close partnership with clients—performing continuous checks and reviews throughout development—to create state-of-the-art handling systems tailored to specific production needs.
Dalmec Manipulators for Jerry Cans, Tanks & Containers
Dalmec manipulators for jerry cans, tanks, and containers provide safe, ergonomic, and efficient handling for filled or empty vessels in filling lines, blending areas, warehouses, and logistics cells. With application-specific tooling—such as adjustable clamp jaws for square tanks, rim and band grippers for drums, vacuum or pinch grippers for jerry cans, and tilting devices for controlled decanting—operators can pick, orient, and place loads of varying sizes and shapes without product damage. Options include stainless-steel and food-grade finishes, ATEX-rated configurations for solvent or chemical environments, and low-headroom solutions for tight spaces. Whether palletizing full containers, feeding process equipment, or tilting vessels for dosing, Dalmec solutions enable continuous, reliable operation and measurable gains in safety, quality, and productivity.
