A vacuum lifting machine is a device used to easily lift and move heavy duty goods such as concrete slabs, metal and wood. These are designed for people working in the manufacturing and warehousing industries to make it simple for them to transport these very heavy and difficult to manoeuvre items.
While vacuum lifters are most commonly found in large industry, they can be used for residential and personal purposes. For example, landscapers or DIY enthusiasts may look to use a vacuum lifting equipment when laying paving slabs in a garden project.
How does a vacuum lifting machine work?
The surprising thing about these machines is that they are so easy to use. Vacuum lifting machines are designed with ease of use in mine. What was once a treacherous task to lift sheet metal, large pieces of wood or steel pipes can now be done with very little effort.
The lifters work by using suction to lift an item. The suction is achieved via a pump connected to a suction cup or pad. The machine is either plugged into the mains or battery powered. All of our vacuum lifting machines are battery powered, thus giving more flexibility to the user.
Vacuum suction and release can be achieved in seconds with a vacuum lifter, making the process simple and effective. The introduction of this technology can greatly improve the productivity and greatly reduce the manpower required in a factory or warehouse.
