Lift Assists

Invio Automation leads the way in engineering creative material handling solutions to lift, reorient, and manipulate parts and products in manufacturing environments.

We draw on decades of reference designs and manufacturing experience to deliver best-in-class ergonomic lift assists, manipulators, and specialty hoists. The in-house Invio team then completes installations, training, and ongoing support in a timely and professional manner.

At Invio Automation, we engineer ergonomic material handling systems that do more than lift—they maneuver, position, and protect both products and people. Since the 1970s, we’ve supported the world’s most demanding manufacturing environments with lift assists, manipulators, and general assembly tools that prioritize safety, quality, precision, and operator comfort.

Born from the automotive industry—where speed, weight, and workflow precision are non-negotiable – our systems are built for performance, reliability, and consistent quality on the line. From chassis tools to battery lifts, we’ve helped thousands of operations safely move everything from 30 lbs to 2,500 lbs and beyond – while ensuring each tool meets or exceeds our stringent safety and quality standards.

Our lift assists are designed to do more than just move parts from A to B. We specialize in motion-based manipulation – reorienting and positioning components in ways that reduce strain, simplify workflows, and improve ergonomics at every station.

• Ergonomic Lift Assists: Reduce strain and injury risk with thoughtfully designed lift systems tailored to your product, process, and workforce – while ensuring consistent, damage-free handling.
• Custom Manipulators: Reorient and position components of all shapes and sizes with precision and ease – boosting both safety and quality.
• Specialty Hoists: Engineered lifting solutions for unique or heavy loads, built to meet your exact safety and quality requirements.

✔ 50+ Years of Material Handling Expertise: Since 1974, we’ve delivered thousands of lift assist and assembly tooling projects – serving customers like John Deere, CAT, Lucid, JLG, and major automotive OEMs.

✔ Heavy Lifting with Precision: We build solutions for loads from 30 lbs to 2,500 lbs, including full-frame lifts and battery pack handlers. Your challenge is our design opportunity.

✔ True Ergonomics, Not Just Lifting: We engineer to protect operators – designing motion and reach paths that minimize stress on backs, necks, and shoulders, while safeguarding product quality.

✔ Safety and Quality First: Every tool is engineered, tested, and validated to meet rigorous safety standards and deliver repeatable, high-quality results in every lift.

✔ Superior Project Management: Customers consistently praise our communication, accuracy, and oversight. We invest in weekly updates, scope tracking, and clear estimating – ensuring a smoother, safer, and more reliable delivery experience.

• Automotive Manufacturers: Engine, chassis, and trim assembly stations.
• Heavy Equipment Builders: Full-frame and multi-ton component lifts.
• EV & Battery Producers: High-capacity manipulators for next-gen drivetrains.
• General Manufacturers: Custom ergonomic handling where repetition and weight are risk factors.
