Binar Handling with its ergonomic products like the Quick-Lift Arm is now part of the Schmalz Group.

Binar Handling started in 1979 with the development and production of ergonomic lifting and handling solutions. The goal: to make lifting operations both easy and safe - in line with the motto "Beyond Gravity". The Swedes and their international subsidiaries have succeeded in doing this in companies in the automotive industry, aerospace technology and industrial production, as well as in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries, among others. A special feature is the rail system on which the lifting equipment follows every movement in the X and Y directions with motor support - even over longer distances.

With the acquisition of Binar Handling AB, Schmalz will offer solutions for sensitive balancing and handling in the future, for example for applications in battery production or logistics.
