The vacuum lifter is a lifting device, which, thanks to the vacuum created by a vacuum generator, permits fast and easy attachment, lifting and handling of  sheets or other material.

The vacuum is created by a vacuum generator supplied with compressed air (from a Venturi-pipe system) or with electric vacuum pump.

In relation to the dimensions of the material to be moved, the vacuum lifters for sheets are comprised of four, six, eight or more vacuum pads, adjustable both longitudinally and transversely.The vacuum suction pads have special seals to guarantee grip efficiency and long-life. The dimensions of the pads vary on the basis of the weight of the material to lift.

For handling sheets metal, the vacuum lifter structure is usually fixed. For special needs, it is possible to use a tilting structure.

The vacuum lifter is fitted to lifting means such as a bridge-crane, jib-crane, bridge crane, etc.

We design and build custom vacuum lifters on request.
