Stop Lifting Glass. Start Driving Profit.

The ATIS Manipulator Pays

for Itself in Months. Turns 3 Operators into 1 Driver.

Every glass shop has that one lift station everyone avoids. Three people to move one sheet. Two aching backs and one torn shoulder later, and your “manual” process has just cost more than the manipulator that would’ve prevented it.

Every day you lift by hand, you’re paying an invisible labor tax — time, fatigue, and lost production.

The Shift: From Lifting to Driving

Meet the IGE + ATIS Pneumatic Manipulator — built in Italy, supported by IGE Glass Technologies. Pure air. Pure control. The first time your operator grips the handles, it feels like sitting behind the wheel for the first time — awkward for five minutes, then fun. You’re not lifting anymore. You’re driving.

How It Drives ROI

Before ATIS	After ATIS
2–3 operators per lift	1 operator
1–2 hours lost crane time/day	0 — main crane freed
1 injury/year risk	0 recordables in 3 years avg
ROI > 12 months	ROI < 6 months

Labor Saved: ≈ $145 K / yr  

Injury Costs Avoided: ≈ $100 K+

That’s nearly $245K swing in 12 months.

Engineering the Edge

• Weightless Handling — pneumatic balance makes 400 lb glass feel weightless • Tilt 90° / Rotate 180°–360° — perfect for moving between vertical & horizontal • LockSafe Grip™ — auto-lock suction stays secure even if air drops • FloatRail Install™ — ceiling rail or mobile base keeps main crane free • Full Freedom Motion™ — multi-axis tilt + rotation in one fluid move.The manipulator acts like a workbench in the air — letting your operator inspect, clean, or prep the glass while it floats weightlessly.

Safety = Cost Control

One injury costs more than the machine. Add that to faster throughput, freed cranes, and happier operators — and you’re not buying equipment; you’re buying capacity.

It's time to STOP lifting glass, and START driving profit.
