Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is a vacuum lifter?

A vacuum lifter is a device that uses vacuum suction to lift and transport heavy materials, such as glass panels, stone slabs, and metal sheets. They are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and other industries where handling heavy and delicate materials is required.

How do battery-operated vacuum lifters work?

Battery-operated vacuum lifters use rechargeable batteries to power a vacuum pump. This pump creates suction, allowing the lifter to securely grip and lift materials. These models offer greater flexibility and mobility since they don't need to be connected to a power source during operation.

What are the advantages of using a manual vacuum lifter?

Manual vacuum lifters are operated by hand and do not require any power source. They are cost-effective, easy to maintain, and ideal for smaller or occasional lifting tasks. Despite being manual, they provide a strong and secure grip on materials, ensuring safe handling.

Can vacuum lifters be used for lifting stone slabs?

Yes, vacuum lifters are highly effective for lifting stone slabs. Our stone lifters are specifically designed to handle the weight and structure of stone materials, providing a secure grip and minimizing the risk of damage.

What safety features do your vacuum lifters have?

The majority of vacuum lifters are equipped with various safety features, including:

- Alarm systems to alert operators of any vacuum loss

- Robust construction to handle heavy loads

- Ergonomic designs to reduce operator fatigue

- Easy-to-read gauges and controls for monitoring suction levels

How do I choose the right vacuum lifter for my needs?

When choosing a vacuum lifter, consider the following factors:

- The type and weight of the materials you will be lifting

- The lifting capacity required

- The working environment (e.g., indoor, outdoor, space constraints)

- The level of mobility needed (battery-operated vs. manual)
