Short Lift Arm / Short-Eye Hook
Suction Cups These provide the critical contact with the load. The number and size of suction cups depends on the type of vacuum lifter and the weight of the load. It is often possible to configure cups for different load sizes, shapes and weights. For example, some lifters allow cups to be shut off for irregular loads. Suction cups can lift glass, plastic, stone, wood, metal and glass- reinforced concrete.
This vacuum lifter is designed to support glass installation in hard-to-reach places, for example under soffits and overhangs. To do this, it is fitted with a short lift arm and a short-eye hook.
Twin Pumps for Safety The glass lifter has two independent vacuum pumps. If one loses suction, the other continues to hold the load. Twin gauges show the vacuum pressure for each pump, with visual and audible alerts if the pressure drops.
Flexible pad configuration
This vacuum lifter can be fitted with extension arms that increase the number of pads from 4 to 6. They allow the device to lift larger and heavier loads. In this case, increasing the capacity from 300kg to 450kg.
Slim Design As the name indicates, this glass vacuum lifter is designed to be slim. It is just 211mm deep. It makes the machine ideal for installing glass where space is confined
Rotation and Tilt Rotation functions allow for the load to be rotated 360 degrees (vacuum specific), whilst the tilt functions can allow the vacuum to position the load from horizontal to vertical position.
Wired Remote Control Some vacuum lifters come with a wired remote control unit. This enables the operator to manipulate the load whilst standing in the best position to monitor the lift, enhancing safety and productivity.
Positioning Grab Rail Grab rails and handles are fitted to vacuum lifters to help the operator safely hold and position the machine. Grab rails also prevent operators from placing their hand close to areas of the lifter with moving parts.
