Schiavolift is the Schiavo unit dedicated to industrial lifting products and material handling systems. For over 50 years we have designed and built professional vacuum lifters and below-the-hook lifting equipment for glass, stone, wood and technical materials. Every industrial lifting product complies with the EN 13155 standard and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC, building safety and operational continuity directly into the production process. The lifting solutions described below link through to the dedicated pages on the schiavolift.com website.
High-performance Professional Vacuum Lifters with redundant dual-circuit safety logic, compliant with the EN 13155 standard and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC. Designed for production departments and worksites, these industrial lifting products reduce the number of operators required per handling cycle and contain the cost of the injury risk associated with the manual handling of heavy slabs.
Zero-gravity Industrial Manipulators for the elimination of physical effort (Ergonomics 4.0) and millimetre-precision positioning. These industrial lifting products reduce cycle time in repetitive operations and lower the cost associated with absenteeism due to musculoskeletal disorders, while maintaining constant load control for the operator.
Mechanical clamps for the overhead handling of high-tonnage glass, with safety grip and surface protection. A lifting solution with a low acquisition cost and reduced maintenance, free from pneumatic components subject to wear, in compliance with the EN 13155 standard.
Space-optimised lifting systems that give the operator autonomy in machine feeding and at fixed workstations. Wall- or column-mounted installation reduces infrastructure cost compared with an overhead-travelling-crane solution, while maintaining coverage of the working area defined at the design stage.
A critical industrial lifting product in glass-processing plants for the handling of complete packs and stillages. It increases the load managed per cycle and reduces loading and unloading times at the line entry, with a direct impact on plant downtime cost.
Protective covers for suction cups, designed to prevent suction marks and surface damage on glass, in particular on low-emissivity (Low-E) glass. They reduce production waste and the cost associated with reworking marked slabs, protecting the most sensitive coatings.
At Schiavo, we believe that the best industrial solutions are not merely sold but built through collaboration. Our team of designers and engineers is ready to work alongside you to find the perfect balance between your operational vision and a high-performance reality.
Whether you need to optimise a single process or design a complete bespoke line, we are here to listen to you. Share a few details about your project below and let’s discover together how our made-in-Italy technology can move your business forward.
