A control arm (40) for controlling the position of a slave arm (10) of a material handling apparatus has an electric force feedback system for enhancing the "feel" of the control arm. The control arm is supported for substantial linear movement such that it can be operated by the operator whilst resting the weight of his or her arm on the control arm. The slave arm is fitted with a combined breaker/handling tool (20) having a support member (21), a breaking member (24) movable relative to the support member and a movable gripping member (25). |
