Stanley’s iLift ™ , the most advanced lifting and balancing system available, allows operators to manipulate loads with greater speed and precision than ever before. By simply grasping the slide handle or the load itself and gently applying force in the desired direction, the operator can manipulate payloads as if they weighed ounces.
Operators can meet productivity goals while reducing ergonomic strain, with programmable virtual limits,
user-selectable operating profiles, and vertical speeds up to 4.9 ft/sec. Offering a blend of power assist and
hands-on (“float mode”) load positioning, the iLift combines computerized control with human manipulation.
The iLift maximizes the capability of end effectors —with a programmable hub featuring internal logic for control of end effector functions via air cylinders, interlocks, proximity switches, and a locally mounted E-Stop.
Allowing easy installation on existing or new rail configurations, quick programmability, and semi-automation, the iLift is the highest performing lift assist available today.

Trolley or rail applications
The iLift ™
mounts to most standard trolleys and rail
profiles and allows seamless end effector
interface. It can also be configured with the
Cobotics iTrolley ™ to create multi-axis
Intelligent Assist Device (IAD) systems.
Interface with rigid arm configurations
For added versatility, the iLift can also be
configured to provide vertical lift for rigid
arm systems.
Benefits
Reduced strain
Low operator force will
move heavy loads with ease when using
the slide handle.
Eliminates vertical overtravel
The
responsive slide handle allows stopping
precisely in the intended position, with
no noticeable delay.
Greater productivity
Faster cycle times
are achieved with the system’s speed,
float mode, and semi-automation features,
allowing operators to accomplish more in
a shorter period of time. The iLift offers
continuous, variable-speed lift control with
a maximum speed up to 5 times faster than
speeds offered by standard hoists.
Semi-automation
Commands such as
“return to home” allow automation of some
load movements, freeing operators to per-form
secondary tasks.

Slide or Pendant Handle
Choose from
two handles for direct or proportional
push-button control.
Float Mode
Featuring the most advanced
patented float mode available, the iLift
allows:
- Hands-on ("float mode") fine tuning of
load position
- Movement of loads without the need
to push buttons from the central control
position - shaving seconds from cycle times
Programmable Hub with RS232 interface
As the high-speed communication link and
main operator interface, the Hub allows you to:
- Program the system using a laptop
computer - eliminating the need to
configure hoses or valves
- Program in and switch between operator
preferences for speed, acceleration, and
sensitivity
- Configure PLC type end effector functions
with a simple interface
Virtual limits
Easily programmable virtual
limits prevent load damage and enhance productivity
by constraining up/down movement.
Access to system information
Valuable feature for analyzing real-time conditions of the IAD system. Examples include:
- Maintenance - tracking preventative maintenance schedules
- Error-proofing - comparing actual load weight against an expected value
- Optional Ethernet connection - allows communication with user plant information systems
Dump mode
Permits load dumping
without drift.
Self-contained unit
The iLift is completely
self-contained, with on-board controls
requiring only 120 V AC power.
