In automotive production and logistics departments, handling rims is a repetitive and often physically demanding activity. Lifting, rotating and positioning wheels and rims manually or with non‑dedicated systems involves risks that many companies know well: operator fatigue, risk of injury, potential damage to components and inefficient operations.
To address these needs, pneumatic manipulators dedicated to rim handling are becoming an increasingly common and effective solution.

Ergonomic Rim Handling: the Solution that Improves Safety, Precision and Productivity
News
A concrete answer to industry needs
The pneumatic manipulator for rims is designed to handle wheels of different sizes and weights, ensuring:
- controlled and stable lifting thanks to a weight‑compensation system that eliminates operator effort
- smooth and precise rotation, essential during positioning and machine‑feeding phases
- optimal ergonomics, drastically reducing operator fatigue
- greater operational safety, even during frequent or prolonged handling
This type of solution allows the operator to handle the rim with total control, without physical strain and with maximum accuracy.
Benefits for the company
Introducing a manipulator dedicated to rim handling provides immediate and tangible advantages:
- Less physical effort: pneumatic compensation eliminates perceived weight, reducing repetitive strain and ergonomic risks
- Higher productivity: operations become faster, smoother and more repeatable, reducing downtime and improving line performance
- Greater safety: fewer manual movements mean fewer injuries and incorrect postures, ensuring better operator protection
- Precision and consistent quality: controlled handling reduces the risk of scratches, impacts or rim deformation
Real applications
The rim manipulator is used in various contexts:
- feeding production lines
- loading and unloading pallets
- inspection and quality control
- packaging and shipping phases
- handling within workshops and automotive departments
It is a versatile and adaptable solution designed to improve workflow in any environment where rims are handled daily.
