Barnes and Associates is a material handling firm, providing ergonomic workplace solutions for over 40 years worldwide. We design, build, specify and integrate many types of lift assist equipment in many industries. A few of the main industries we serve include: Automotive, Packaging, Industrial Processing, Food Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, Aerospace and defense contractors. While normally used for ergonomic benefits in production operations, Custom End Tooling can be designed to adapt to most objects, including mechanical, vacuum and pneumatic grippers. Applications can range from simple pick and place to complex manipulations. Lift Assists are a good investment for any company to avoid lifting or repetitive motion injuries to workers. Lift assists can also benefit production speed, limit the number of workers required to make a lift, and reduce product damage.
