Beskrivelse
What Is This Vacuum Lifter?
This vacuum lifter is a mobile, battery-powered material handling device designed for lifting and positioning flat, non-porous materials such as glass, metal sheets, plywood, and cement panels. It uses vacuum suction cups and an integrated DC24V vacuum pump to generate holding force without external power. The unit features a rotatable mechanical arm and self-propelling mobility with rubber tires for use on uneven surfaces.
Primary Applications
This equipment supports tasks where manual handling of heavy or fragile sheet materials poses safety or efficiency challenges. Typical uses include:
- Glass installation in curtain wall and façade projects
- Positioning metal or plywood panels during structural assembly
- Transporting cement boards or stone slabs on construction sites
- Material staging in fabrication workshops and precast facilities
Key Operational Features
The lifter offers several motion controls to improve precision and reduce operator effort:
- Vertical lift and 180° automatic pad frame tilt
- Lateral side shift up to 100 mm
- 360° automatic rotation (optional)
- Manual 360° rotation and 90° flip of the suction cup holder
- Dual air circuit control and dual control system for redundancy
Selecting the Right Capacity
This model is offered in three load capacities: 400 kg, 600 kg, and 800 kg. Load rating applies to flat, clean, dry, and non-porous surfaces under ideal vacuum conditions. Actual usable capacity depends on surface finish, ambient temperature, humidity, and seal integrity. For applications involving irregular, textured, or porous materials, consult technical specifications before selection.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does this differ from a standard glass suction cup?
Unlike single-purpose glass suction cups, this unit uses interchangeable or adaptable suction pads — including sponge-type pads — to handle wood, metal, cement, and other non-glass materials. Pad replacement may be required when switching between material types.
Does it require external power or compressed air?
No. It operates on an internal battery and built-in vacuum pump. Dual air circuit control provides operational redundancy without needing external air supply or mains electricity.
Can it be used outdoors on rough terrain?
Rubber tires support operation on moderately uneven surfaces. However, stability and vacuum seal performance depend on ground firmness and surface cleanliness. Avoid use on loose gravel, wet mud, or heavily sloped areas without site assessment.
Buyer Guidance
Before purchase, confirm compatibility with your typical workpiece dimensions, thickness range, and surface characteristics. Review mounting interface requirements and verify that the optional rotation functions align with your workflow. For safety-critical applications, refer to the suspended platform safety guide.
