Improve your worker health and safety with Handling Concepts’ vacuum lifting beam; a vacuum lifter at the forefront of safety and efficiency.
Vacuum lifting beams use a vacuum to grip and lift various load types. They are a simple system comprised a vacuum pump connected by a hose to a lifting tube with a suction head and suction foot (known as suction cups or vacuum pads) at the end of the lifting tube. These are the contacts that hold the load.
When the suction feet touch the load, the airflow is blocked and an airtight seal is formed, causing the vacuum level to increase until the load is secure and can be gripped and lifted confidently and safely throughout the handling process.
Multiple suction feet built into a specialised frame are known as vacuum lifting beams. They are an excellent system to use as material handling equipment, as they feel weightless and can be used by a single operator. They grip, support, lift, and lower the load with single operator control.
These beams can be suspended from an overhead crane, or an industrial manipulator can provide added travel and degrees of movement.
Vacuum lifting beams are perfect for lifting large glass panels or metal sheets. The suction feet offer multiple places for the load to attach, which can allow large safe working loads.
