Combining radios, drives, motors, brakes, and automation programming, Intelli-Guide™ allows operators to automatically send a load to different pre-programmed areas in a facility with the push of a button. Then, as the load moves to the programmed destination along a determined route, the operator can work on a different task or start on the next step of the production process, increasing productivity and efficiency.

Swinging loads, whether caused by misalignment or snags, are not only dangerous for your employees but can damage equipment, resulting in costly repairs and downtime. The Magnetek®️ brand Intelli-Lift™️ System detects a load misalignment or snag condition and alerts operators with a visible and audible warning before a dangerous situation occurs. Intelli-Lift is ideal for the automotive, aerospace, steel, and marine terminal industries.
