Frequently Asked Questions about
vacuum lifter
What is a vacuum lifter?
A vacuum lifter is a material handling device that uses vacuum technology to lift, move, and position heavy loads. It operates by creating a vacuum seal between the lifter and the load, allowing for secure and efficient handling of various materials such as glass, metal, wood, and concrete.
How does a vacuum lifter work?
A vacuum lifter works by using a vacuum pump to create a low-pressure area (vacuum) within a suction pad or series of pads. When these pads are placed against a surface, the atmospheric pressure pushes the material against the pads, creating a strong hold. This allows the lifter to securely raise, transport, and position the load with ease.
Suction pad lifters are especially useful for handling heavy parts
that have flat or slightly curved surfaces.
Is vacuum lifting safe?
Yes, vacuum lifts are designed with safety in mind. They include various safety features such as alarms, fail-safe systems and backup vacuum reservoirs to ensure safe handling even in the event of a power failure or system malfunction. In addition, by reducing manual lifting and carrying, vacuum lifters minimize the risk of workplace injuries and contribute to a safer working environment.
