Your Partner in Material Handling
Innovative Handling Solutions by Barbaric
From manual vacuum lifters for glass and wood to fully automatic Panel Storage and Retrieval Systems for wooden panels, we provide the perfect solution for every handling task. Our versatile material handling solutions are designed not only for panel materials but also for furniture parts and various other materials, ensuring they can be fully automated for stacking and manipulation.
Barbaric manual vacuum lifters enable the efficient handling of heavy panels, saving valuable production time. Unlike traditional manual handling, which requires two or even three employees, our vacuum lifting system allows a single employee to move oversized panels effortlessly and ergonomically.
Our automation solutions take over the entire handling process in panel and parts manufacturing. Panel Storage and Retrieval Systems, Feeding Systems, Buffer Storage System, and Return systems are just a few examples of our state-of-the-art material handling equipment. Each system is custom-built to meet our clients' specific needs, utilizing proven components and concepts to deliver optimal performance.
