LIKEST mechanical vacuum lifters do not rely
upon plant power, outside controls or complex accessories. These
self-controls or unit create their own vacuum grip
mechanically, giving them unmatched mobility for use in metal
fabricating plants, Effective on ferrous and nonferrous
metals, indoors and out-Wherever materials need to
be loaded, unloaded, stored, stacked, handled or transferred.
Mechanical lifters increase speed and efficiency of horizontal
handling of sheet and plate, fabrications and all
types of nonporous materials. One person simply attaches the
hook of a cane, hoist, or boom truck to the lifter, positions the
unit on the load and controls the entire handling operation
alone. |

|
One-person sheet and plate handling without product damage. |
|
Self -powered
lifters create their own vacuum grip mechanically. |
|
The hoist movement controls
the attach and release automatically. |
|
Ideal for loading cutting
tables, shears, presses. saws, etc. |

Sequence shown is for a common two-pad lifter. Sequence and
principles of operation are the same for all lifter
capacities and configurations. |
|
|
|
Lifter suspended above load, read for
Piston valve open. No vacuum in system. |
|
|
Lifter resting on load at start of grip
cycle. piston valve closed, ready for
vacuum cycle. |
|
|
Lifter supporting load. piston raised
by hoisting action, vacuum created
underneath piston and pads. |

Marble and
granite, which have been diamond saw finished and /or polished, are
perfect for a mechanical vacuum
lifter. If the stone or concrete you are handling has a rougher
surface texture, one of our electric or air powered
lifters with foam pads will do the job.
