Used manipulators for foundries - buy & sell
Are you looking for manipulators or would you like to sell some?
Used manipulators are indispensable in modern foundries. They enable the safe and precise handling of hot, heavy cast parts directly after the moulding plant – especially when placing them in boxes or on pallets. Thanks to hydraulically controlled gripper arms, individual load capacities and compact design, manipulators make a decisive contribution to work safety and process optimisation.
TCT Tesic offers a wide range of used foundry manipulators, e.. from Andromat (Thyssen Henschel) or Clansman, with payloads from 50 to 500 kg and various arm lengths (T1-T6). Whether you want to buy or sell a machine – we are at your side as a reliable partner.

FAQ - Frequently asked questions about used manipulators
It lifts heavy, hot cast parts after the casting process, transports them out of the moulding plant and places them in transport boxes or on pallets. This protects people, speeds up the process and increases the quality of handling.
The decisive factors are load capacity (e.. 100-500 kg), arm length (T1-T6), condition of the hydraulics, control system and type of gripper. The place of use (stationary or mobile) also plays a role.
Yes – adaptations, e.g. gripper replacement, hydraulic service or replacement of the control technology can be carried out at any time. We can also procure spare parts or have them retrofitted.
We document your system with pictures and technical data, advertise it internationally, carry out inspections and take care of dismantling, transport and contract processing – professionally and transparently.
The most common on the market are Andromat (Thyssen Henschel) and Clansman, as well as customised systems and robotic solutions. We know the differences and can advise you on your choice.

Design & function of a foundry manipulator
A foundry manipulator is a specialised handling unit that is positioned in the immediate vicinity of the moulding machine. Its task is to safely pick up, transport and set down cast parts weighing up to 500 kg, some of which are still red-hot, fresh from the moulding machine.
Typical assemblies of a used manipulator:
- Driver’s cab or operating platform for manual control
- Gripper arm with tool holder – e.g. pliers, hook, magnet
- Hydraulic system for controlled movements and lifting loads
- Rotating and swivelling units for precise depositing processes
- Support frame – stationary or mobile
Advantages in use:
- Handling of hot castings without endangering the operator
- Load ranges from 100 to 500 kg
- Arm lengths according to T1-T6 for working areas of different sizes
- Robust technology with a long service life
- Typically used at the end of the moulding line for removal from the moulding box
