Solutions for the Warehousing and Logistics Sector
Smarter, Safer Material Handling for Warehousing and Logistics
Dalmec warehousing and logistics manipulators let a single operator lift, rotate, tilt and place cartons, drums, bags, sacks, reels, plastic containers and totes without manual load bearing, across distribution centres, fulfilment warehouses and logistics facilities. Each unit is custom engineered around the product mix, the movement required and the facility layout, with gripping tooling designed to handle high-frequency, repetitive lifting without slowing order fulfilment. Every installation is documented as an engineering control under Australia’s Work Health and Safety Act, and because Dalmec manipulators run entirely on compressed air, they operate reliably across busy, high-throughput warehouse environments.
FAQ
Are Dalmec manipulators suitable for high-volume warehouse and distribution operations?
Yes. Dalmec manipulators are designed for repetitive, high-frequency lifting, letting one operator move cartons, drums, bags and totes at the pace order fulfilment and distribution work requires, without the fatigue or injury risk of manual handling.
What warehousing and logistics items can Dalmec manipulators handle?
Common applications include cartons and boxes, drums, bags and sacks, reels and rolls, plastic containers and totes, and general packaged goods. Dalmec engineers custom gripping tooling around the exact item, so it is held securely and placed precisely for palletising, order picking or line loading.
Can one Dalmec manipulator handle a mix of different products in the same warehouse?
Often, yes. Where a workstation handles a family of similar products, Dalmec can design tooling to grip the range, or a quick-change tooling system so one manipulator serves several handling tasks across a shift.
How does a Dalmec manipulator support WHS compliance in a warehouse setting?
By removing manual load-bearing from repetitive lifting tasks, Dalmec manipulators reduce exposure to hazardous manual handling risks and support compliance with Safe Work Australia’s hazardous manual task principles. Each installation is documented as an engineering control under the Work Health and Safety Act.
6 Key Reasons Why Australian Companies Have Chosen Dalmec Zero Gravity Load Handling
Your operators guide the load. Dalmec carries it.
Every manipulator holds the load in a pneumatically balanced state, allowing operators to lift, position and transfer products with precision while eliminating physical strain.
Designed and Built in Italy
Every Dalmec manipulator is engineered and manufactured in Cles, Italy. With more than 90,000 installations worldwide since 1963, Dalmec remains the original manufacturer and industry benchmark for pneumatic manipulation systems.
Eliminate Manual Handling Injuries
Warehouse staff regularly perform repetitive lifting tasks involving heavy and awkward loads. Dalmec removes the weight from the task, helping businesses reduce hazardous manual handling risks and improve workplace safety.
Retain Your Best People
Reducing physical demands helps experienced operators remain productive throughout every shift while improving comfort and long-term workforce retention.
Reduce Hiring and Training Costs
Safer, more ergonomic workstations reduce staff turnover and minimise the costs associated with recruiting and training replacement employees.
