With vacuum plate lifters from Schmalz, you can effortlessly handle wooden boards, planks and other workpieces. With the help of vacuum, the lifting aids lift the workpieces leaving few marks, but with power. Schmalz offers two types of vacuum plate lifters: The vacuum tube lifter Jumbo and the vacuum lifting device VacuMaster. With the Jumbo tube lifter, you can effortlessly lift loads weighing up to 300 kilograms. The VacuMaster lifting device can lift up to 2,000 kilograms as standard. On request, we can also manufacture devices that can lift and move even heavier workpieces.
The constant moving of heavy loads has a detrimental effect on the psyche and physique of your employees. By using vacuum plate lifters, handling the bulkiest workpieces becomes child's play. In this way, you create an ergonomic working environment and prevent damage to health. The vacuum lifters are supplemented by an aluminum crane specially adapted to your lifting process. This is particularly responsive and also supports ergonomic working methods.
Schmalz offers a large product portfolio of ergonomically designed lifting aids. So you can be safe in the knowledge that we will find exactly the right vacuum plate lifter for your application. The Jumbo tube lifter, for example, comes in the variants JumboFlex, JumboErgo and JumboSprint. With the JumboFlex tube lifter, you can handle loads weighing up to 50 kilograms with a practical one-hand operation. For heavier loads, the JumboErgo or the JumboSprint , which is particularly suitable as a bag lifter, are used. The JumboSprint is also available in an Ex version for lifting operations in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Our second vacuum plate lifter, the VacuMaster, is also available in different variations. Depending on the version, planks, coils or even rotor blades for wind turbines can be lifted and moved effortlessly. As standard, we also manufacture vacuum plate lifters that allow the workpiece to be swivelled through 90° or rotated through 90°.
Our experienced system consultants are on hand to help you choose the right vacuum plate lifter.
