Vacuum tube lifters use a vacuum to grip and lift various load types. They are a simple system comprising a vacuum pump connected 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, 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.
Vacuum tube lifters 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 and are given their name as the tube that supplies the vacuum also provides the lifting action.
They are often used with a jib crane. The jib crane suspends the vacuum tube lifter and provides added horizontal travel, allowing the worker to extend their reach, whilst the lifting system supports the weight.
Vacuum tube lifters can help increase productivity while offering an ergonomic solution for your material handling needs. The operation is fast and smooth, making them ideal for repetitive handling tasks.
