Vacuum Lifters can be split into two categories                             Vacuum Tube Lifters & Vacuum Grippers

Vacuum Tube Lifters

Almost anything can be lifted easily, quickly and safely.

Lifting systems based on vacuum tube technology are often used in industry where fast repetitive handling of heavy loads is required. Using a single power medium – vacuum, to grip and lift heavy or awkward loads To grip a product, the operator simply rests the suction foot on the surface and it is gripped. Lightweight modern designs are used throughout the range.

• Make light work of everyday manual handling tasks
•  Improve assembly speed, efficiency and throughput
• Low headroom options to fit into the tightest of spaces
• Effortless repetitive lifting and weightless operation
• In-built safety feature prevents load dropping in case of a power failure
• An extensive range of standard interchangeable attachments
• Eliminate manual handling problems
• Reduce product damage and marking
• Lift loads up to 250 kg
• Wash down food grade options
• Pharmaceutical full hygienic cGMP options
• Very low maintenance
• Warehouse range
• Single operator control, efficient use of labour
• Improve safety and ergonomics
• ATEX certification options
• Production area range

Our solutions are backed by top level engineering, project and quality management including validation.

How it works

• Grip – Simply land on a product to grip it
• Lift – Gently pull up the control lever to lift
• Lower – Gently press down the control lever to lower
• Release – Push the lever down fully, and tilt the handle to release the load

Typical  Layouts

Vacuum Tube Lifters may be suspended from a variety of crane styles to allow the operator to cover the area where products to be lifted are handled. The most common cranes used are pictured below, wall or ceiling mounted versions of all of these cranes are also used when existing structures are suitable for supporting the crane.

Vacuum Grippers

Ideal for large heavy loads 100 – 10,000 kg

Typically used with larger over head cranes, these vacuum grippers do not always require a dedicated crane and can be hooked onto the hook of any working crane.

Particularly suitable for handling inherently stable loads like;

• Coils
• Glass Panels
• Steel Sheets
• Stone/Granite
