Ergonomic Sack Handling

Ergonomic sack handling is essential for reducing operator strain and improving efficiency in modern production environments. Yet the manual handling of sacks and bags remains one of the most physically demanding tasks on the factory floor. Whether transferring materials from pallets to mixers, loading hoppers, or supporting packing operations, repetitive lifting can impact both employee wellbeing and productivity.

To address these challenges, Movomech has refined its trusted Easysack solution and launched a new generation of ergonomic sack handling: the Mechtool Sack 30.

As the official Movomech UK distributor, Simmatic provides expertise, support and application knowledge. We help businesses implement the most effective ergonomic lifting solutions for industrial handling operations.

Previously known as Easysack, the updated Mechtool Sack 30 now forms part of Movomech’s renowned Mechtool range. Alongside its new name, the solution introduces an updated and enhanced control handle, improved operator functionality and several new features designed to make sack handling safer, smoother and more efficient.

Its compact design and low build height make it particularly valuable in facilities where overhead space is limited or lifting equipment needs to remain close to the operator.

Designed Around Operator Ergonomics

Movomech Sack Handling

One of the key advantages of the Mechtool Sack 30 is its operator-focused design. The ergonomic control handle was designed to give operators a natural, comfortable grip throughout the lifting cycle, while the compact thumb joystick allows precise control of lifting and lowering movements.

Operators can also access frequently used functions easily through integrated controls positioned directly on the handle. With enhanced safety and visibility. Operators can monitor vacuum level and air pressure directly from the tool and the Lift OK indicator clearly confirms when the system has achieved sufficient vacuum and the load is ready to lift.

To further improve workplace safety, the release function requires a double command, significantly reducing the risk of accidental load release during operation.

Flexible Integration Across Multiple Workstations

Mechtool Sack 30 is designed to integrate seamlessly with Movomech’s wider lifting portfolio, allowing businesses to create complete ergonomic handling systems tailored to their specific requirements.

Combined with Mechchain Pro II

When paired with Mechchain Pro II, Movomech’s frequency-controlled electric chain hoist, Mechtool Sack 30 delivers smooth, stepless lifting performance and exceptional positioning accuracy. This combination is ideal for repetitive sack-handling applications where control and efficiency are essential.

Installed with Mechrail

By integrating the lifting unit with the lightweight Mechrail overhead crane system, businesses can create a flexible material-handling solution capable of serving multiple workstations. Low rolling resistance and extensive coverage make this setup particularly effective for larger production areas.

Mounted on Mechcrane

For dedicated lifting points, Mechtool Sack 30 can be installed on a Mechcrane jib crane system. This fixed solution is often the preferred choice for packing stations, emptying stations and other processes carried out within a defined working area.

Mobile Handling with MobiChain

Where flexibility is paramount, MobiChain  combines the lifting capabilities of Mechchain Pro II with a mobile articulated jib crane. This creates a self-contained lifting solution that can be easily relocated between workstations while maintaining the same precise and ergonomic handling performance.
